Résumé du poste

Skyworks Solutions, Inc in Thousand Oaks seeks a Sr. CAD Engineer 2 to lead PCB design across RF and power lines. You will set standards, mentor engineers, and drive quality from concept to manufacturing, using Altium, Cadence Allegro, and advanced SI/PI analysis.

The role requires 15+ years in PCB/PWB design with IPC certification, deep ECAD tool proficiency, and strong RF background. Base pay ranges USD 86,600–182,500 yearly, with comprehensive benefits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; equivalent extensive practical experience considered in lieu of degree.
• 15+ years of PCB/PWB design, CAD layout, and/or fabrication/supplier development with progression to senior level; IPC certification(s) required.
• Deep proficiency with ECAD/mechanical CAD tools: Altium, Cadence Allegro, ADS, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and CAM350.
• Extensive hands on knowledge of PCB/PWB manufacturing processes, materials, and IPC standards, with application of GD&T and DFM/DFA/DFT/DFR principles.
• Strong RF/high frequency design background, including high frequency laminates (Rogers, PTFE/Teflon) and demanding applications such as ATE multisite load boards and probe cards.

Responsabilités

• Independently execute end-to-end PCB design using Altium or Cadence tools, from concept to fabrication, assembly, and production builds.
• Set standards, design rules, and IPC compliance practices; provide sign-off on complex high frequency PCB designs and fabrication docs.
• Lead root cause investigation and corrective action for design/fabrication issues involving IPC standards, signal integrity, thermal, and mechanical interactions.
• Provide expert DFM/stack-up guidance from concept through NPI, partnering with RF, Mechanical, Component, and Process Engineering.
• Mentor Staff and Senior engineers as a technical resource and design reviewer across programs.
• Perform pre and post layout SI/PI/EM analysis to validate high speed and high frequency designs.
• Develop transmission line models, impedance controlled routing, crosstalk, and PDN analysis; drive simulation-based optimization for DDR4/DDR5, PCIe, SerDes, Ethernet, USB, and RF interfaces.
• Present simulation findings and risk mitigation recommendations at design reviews.
• Apply HDI techniques for high pin count, fine pitch BGA routing on complex multilayer boards.
• Apply DFx methodologies (DFM, DFA, DFT, DFR) to ensure manufacturability, testability, and reliability.
• Partner with Hardware, Mechanical, Procurement, Manufacturing, and Program Management to align designs with product requirements and schedules.
• Work with suppliers to improve process capability, yield, cycle time, cost, and support qualification and audits of RF/high frequency fabrication partners.
• Prepare and manage complete design documentation packages, including fabrication and assembly drawings, Gerber files, BOMs, and ECOs, ensuring accuracy and traceability with timely release and smooth transition into manufacturing.
