RF PCB Designer II — High‑Speed, Mixed-Signal Layout

Marki Microwave, Inc.; Morgan Hill, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 85,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

Marki Microwave, Inc. in Morgan Hill, CA is seeking a PCB Designer 2 to independently perform schematic capture and full PCB layout for RF/microwave and mixed-signal boards.

You will collaborate with RF and electrical engineers on stack-up, materials, and controlled-impedance routing, and you will contribute to DFM compliance and fabrication-vendor coordination. The role requires an associate or bachelor's degree in related field, 2–5 years of PCB design experience, and proficiency with ECAD

Qualifications

• Associate or Bachelor's degree in Electronics Technology, PCB Design, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Two to five years of relevant PCB design experience, preferably including RF/microwave or high-speed digital layout.
• Demonstrated proficiency with ECAD tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or similar) and experience working within a PDM/PLM system.
• Solid understanding of controlled-impedance design, stack-up construction, and RF layout practices.

Responsibilities

• Research, recommend, and deploy new layout and schematic capture software tools.
• Collaborate with current and new printed circuit board assembly housings to understand capabilities and successfully deploy DFM internally.
• Independently perform schematic capture and full PCB layout for RF/microwave, digital, and mixed-signal circuit boards.
• Design and manage controlled-impedance transmission lines per RF engineering requirements.
• Select and specify PCB stack-ups and materials in coordination with RF and electrical engineers.
• Route high-speed and RF-sensitive traces while managing crosstalk, EMI, and signal integrity considerations.
• Generate complete fabrication and assembly data packages and review for DFM compliance.
• Perform DRC/ERC checks and independently resolve layout violations.
• Coordinate with PCB fabricators and assembly houses on stack-up, tolerances, and manufacturability questions.
• Process ECOs, maintain revision control, and manage component libraries within PLM/PDM systems.
• Support bring-up, debug, and rework of prototype boards alongside RF and electrical engineers.
• Mentor other engineering staff on layout practices, library standards, and documentation quality.
