Job Overview

As a PCB Design Engineer at TE Connectivity, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, layout, and documentation of printed circuit boards with a strong emphasis on high-speed digital designs. You will leverage your expertise in Altium Designer, PCB fabrication processes, and technical documentation to deliver high-quality designs that meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements. Working within a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers, you will play a key role in developing next-generation connectivity solutions for datacenters, telecommunications, and advanced electronics platforms.

You will act as the subject matter expert for PCB design from concept through production release, ensuring compliance with electrical, mechanical, and industry standards. This role requires strong technical expertise, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

Job Requirements

• Lead the design, layout, and development of high-speed printed circuit boards using Altium Designer.
• Define PCB stack-up, routing strategies, and layout rules to ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Generate and maintain PCB fabrication and assembly drawings, documentation packages, and bills of materials (BOMs).
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to translate schematics into manufacturable PCB layouts.
• Partner with fabrication and assembly vendors to validate manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of designs.
• Perform design reviews, implement feedback, and ensure adherence to industry standards (IPC, JEDEC, IEEE).
• Troubleshoot design and fabrication issues, working closely with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in PCB design methodologies, tools, and processes.

What your background should look like

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
• Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of experience, or Master’s degree and 6+ years of experience, in PCB design, with emphasis on high-speed designs.
• Advanced proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout, and documentation.
• Strong knowledge of PCB fabrication processes, materials, and design-for-manufacture (DFM) principles.
• Experience with documentation packages (fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, gerbers, ODB++, etc.).
• Solid understanding of high-speed design principles including impedance control, crosstalk, differential pair routing, and return path integrity.
• Familiarity with signal integrity and power integrity simulation tools.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work in a global, cross-functional environment.
• Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working independently.
