Job description

In this role, the PCB Designer will design moderate to complex printed circuit board (PCB) layouts in the domain of Digital, Analog, Power & RF interconnect applications. This includes responsibility for circuit board layout conceptualization, (CAD application by means of Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro & Altium tool sets), detail design activities and value-engineering in support of internal TTM programs. Areas of emphasis/focus include physical design (CAD implementation)/documentation utilizing best practice of electrical IPC standards/methodologies with experienced approach to manufacturing and sustaining maintenance of legacy design projects.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Create PCB concept layouts and provide design recommendations during the early development phase.
• Update and modify existing schematics using tools such as OrCAD, Altium, and DxDesigner.
• Perform PCB component placement and routing while ensuring electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing requirements are met.
• Design complex printed circuit boards utilizing Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, and/or Altium.
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and process engineers throughout the design lifecycle.

• Support Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), design revisions, and documentation updates.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3+ years of hands-on PCB design experience using Siemens Xpedition (VX2.14+), Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (17.4+), and/or Altium.
• Strong experience with PCB layout, electrical drafting, and fabrication drawing creation.
• Working knowledge of electrical and mechanical design principles related to printed circuit board development.
• Familiarity with IPC standards, including IPC-2221/2223 and associated PCB design specifications.
• Experience designing and manufacturing boards to IPC Class III standards.
• Understanding of PCB design for manufacturability (DFM), assembly, and production requirements.
• Ability to create and maintain engineering documentation throughout the product lifecycle.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience:

• CID/CID++ Certification for PCB Designers highly recognized as professional validation of design, documentation, and manufacturability skills within the industry.
• Related PCB design for the Aerospace and Defense sectors is highly desirable.
