Job summary

Nova Biomedical is seeking a Senior PCB Designer to translate electrical schematics and engineering requirements into high-quality printed circuit board designs for complex medical and laboratory instrumentation.

This role will partner closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and compliant PCB assemblies from initial concept through production.

Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical diploma in Electronics, Engineering Technology, PCB Design, or a related discipline required.
• Eight or more years of professional PCB design experience.
• Experience with controlled-impedance design, high-speed differential routing, length matching, stack-up definition, and signal-return-path management.
• Strong knowledge of low-noise analog and mixed-signal layout practices.
• Experience with Altium Designer preferred.
• Working knowledge of IPC design and acceptance standards.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, tolerance requirements, and product specifications.
• Experience maintaining controlled PCB libraries, footprints, pad stacks, design rules, and templates.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain PCB layouts, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, drill files, and complete manufacturing data packages.
• Develop multilayer rigid and rigid-flex board designs with stack-ups, materials, via structures, copper weights, and design constraints.
• Implement controlled-impedance routing and verify impedance requirements with PCB fabricators.
• Route high-speed differential signals with length matching, return-path control, and signal-integrity practices.
• Apply low-noise design techniques for analog, mixed-signal, sensor, power, and data-conversion circuitry.
• Ensure designs meet electrical, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and product requirements.
• Collaborate with Electrical Engineers on schematic reviews, power distribution, thermal considerations, and design-for-test.
• Mentor engineers and designers on PCB layout standards and design methodology.
