Job summary

Collins Aerospace is seeking a senior ECAD Design Engineer to own effective ECAD execution for complex PCB layouts, coordinating with Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality teams. The role emphasizes HDI, high-speed PCB elements, and rigorous documentation within PLM systems.

REMOTE work options are available; the position demands experience with Siemens Xpedition or similar tools, and a strong background in DFM/DFT, tolerances, and EMI/PI considerations.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience.
• Experience with PCB layout using ECAD tools (Siemens Xpedition preferred; Cadence Allegro, Altium, or similar acceptable)
• Experience designing multilayer PCB layouts and supporting complex electrical designs
• Experience managing electrical and physical constraints within PCB design tools

Responsibilities

• Own ECAD design execution for assigned scope, including planning, coordination, and delivery aligned to program schedules and engineering requirements
• Perform hands-on ECAD design and layout for complex printed circuit card assemblies including multilayer rigid, flex, and high-density interconnect (HDI) designs
• Support schematic capture and layout implementation while managing electrical and physical constraints (high-speed, high-voltage, high-current)
• Communicate design status, technical risks, and schedule impacts with engineering stakeholders and program teams
• Participate in and contribute to cross-functional design reviews with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Configuration Management
• Develop and maintain complete ECAD documentation packages (fabrication, assembly, and design documentation)
• Manage ECAD data within PLM systems and ensure compliance with configuration management requirements
• Incorporate DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test) principles throughout the layout process
• Troubleshoot complex design issues and resolve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability challenges in collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior designers and support knowledge sharing across the ECAD team
• Support adherence to ECAD standards, library usage, and best practices across programs
• Responsibilities include making moderate improvements to ECAD processes, systems, and design practices to enhance performance, quality, and efficiency across the organization
• Coordinate ECAD activities for small projects or defined work scopes
