Job description

Senior PCB Designer | Space & Defense | Seattle, WA

A VC-funded, early-stage space technology startup in Seattle is developing advanced spaceborne radar and defense technologies, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and target-tracking systems.

They’re looking for a Senior PCB Designer to take hands‑on ownership of complex, flight‑ready PCB designs for mission‑critical space hardware.

Key Responsibilities

• Own complex multilayer PCB layouts across high-speed digital, mixed‑signal, RF and power electronics.
• Design for FPGA, DDR, SERDES, BGA and high-frequency RF architectures.
• Define stack‑ups, routing strategies and constraints around SI/PI, impedance and EMI/EMC.
• Take designs from layout through DFM, fabrication, assembly and hardware bring‑up.
• Work closely with electrical, RF, mechanical, thermal and manufacturing teams to deliver reliable flight hardware.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in high-speed, RF, mixed‑signal and power PCB design.
• Experience with DFM/DFA/DFT, PCB fabrication and assembly vendors.
• Experience developing space, aerospace or defense hardware in high‑reliability environments.
• Comfortable operating as a hands‑on senior/principal contributor within a small, fast‑moving startup environment.
• Eligible to work on U.S. export‑controlled (ITAR) projects.

Bonus

Experience with spacecraft payloads, SAR, phased‑array/electronically steered RF systems, IPC Class 3, NASA/MIL standards, ECAD/MCAD integration, or radiation‑tolerant electronics.
