Job description

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a skilled and motivated PCB Layout Engineer III to join our electrical engineering team. In this role, you will work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, high-performance PCBAs for advanced spacecraft applications. You will contribute across the board design lifecycle — from schematic review through part placement, layout, design for manufacturability, and release to manufacturing — with growing ownership of increasingly complex designs. You bring solid hands‑on layout experience and a drive to develop your skills in a fast‑paced, mission‑critical environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and lay out multi-layer PCBs from 2-32 layers across varying levels of complexity and density
• Read, interpret, and understand electrical PCB schematics to inform layout decisions
• Complete layout of digital and analog circuits, including power converters and mixed‑signal designs
• Generate PCB fabrication and assembly documentation including drawings, Gerbers, and BOMs
• Set up and manage PCB layer stack‑ups and design rules to meet electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements
• Perform design rule checks (DRC) and electrical rules checks (ERC) to ensure layouts meet all physical and electrical requirements
• Support design for manufacturing (DFM) reviews with manufacturing partners
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to ensure board layouts meet all requirements and integrate into system architecture
• Assist with component creation, including electrical parameters and mechanical information
• Assist with shared component library and lifecycle management for existing and new components
• Help improve and document PCB design and procurement processes

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
• 3-5 years of professional experience in PCB design and layout
• Proficiency with Altium Designer
• Experience managing shared component libraries with revision control
• Solid understanding of electronics principles, component functions, and PCB design rules
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, own projects, and drive them to completion
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Knowledge of relevant IPC specifications and their implementation in PCB layout
• Experience with high-speed digital and RF layout techniques
• Experience with power electronics layout
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC considerations and thermal management layout techniques
• Knowledge of commonly used PCB materials and their typical applications
• Experience working with configuration management tools for production hardware
• Experience working in a fast‑paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: DEN: $110,000 - $155,000 | LB: $115,000 - $160,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case‑by‑case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job‑related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Long Beach locations. While we observe a hybrid work environment, most work must be done on site.
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
