Space-Grade PCB Design Engineer

Amazon; Redmond (WA); On-site; USD 117,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Leo Government seeks a PCB Design Engineer to lead complex satellite and ground system PCB design, from schematic capture and stack‑up selection to layout bring‑up and test. You will collaborate across electrical, mechanical, and firmware teams, applying DFM/DFT and 회 high‑speed design practices to meet space hardware requirements.

You will work with customers to translate requirements into robust, data‑driven solutions, review designs, and prepare compelling reports and proposals for

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
• Experience in motherboard design, PCB design including schematic capture, stackup and circuit board layout.

Responsibilities

• Interact directly with customers to understand technical requirements and translate them into robust solutions supported by data and analysis.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Mentor PADS/Xpedition, KiCad, OrCAD).
• Understand PCB manufacturing processes, materials, and stack‑up design.
• Design multi‑layer boards (16+ layers).
• Know high‑speed digital design principles (DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet).
• Familiar with IPC standards (IPC‑2221/2222/IPC‑7351).
• Read and interpret electrical schematics.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and firmware teams to translate schematics into layouts.
• Apply DFM/DFT for producibility and testability.
• Perform component placement, routing, power distribution, and thermal management optimization.
• Manage design constraints including impedance control, high-speed signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and power integrity.
• Generate fabrication and assembly docs (Gerber, drill files, BOM, drawings).
• Conduct DRC/ERC checks and participate in design reviews.
• Deliver written reports and presentations for design reviews and proposals.
• Design and support test campaigns for space hardware.
