Résumé du poste

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. in Richardson, TX is seeking a Staff ECAD Engineer to lead PCB design for high-performance RF and power products, setting design rules and guiding complex SI/PI challenges.

You will mentor engineers, sign off on fabrication docs, and drive manufacturability and reliability across programs while collaborating with RF, Mechanical, and Process teams. Proficiency with Altium/Cadence and IPC standards is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Materials Science, or related field; equivalent extensive practical experience considered in lieu of degree.
• 15+ years of combined experience in PCB/PWB design, CAD layout, and/or fabrication/supplier development, with demonstrated progression into a senior technical role. 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 proven 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, including schematic capture and complex PCB layout, 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 documentation (Altium, Cadence Allegro, ADS, SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
• 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 (Cadence Sigrity or equivalent tools) 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, while collaborating closely with cross functional stakeholders.
• Manage the lifecycle of Technical Queries (TQs), ensuring timely resolution and clear communication.
