Job description
Our boards fly in spacecrafts, manage power for fusion systems, and process signals in medical devices. Every one of them was designed by someone who owned the layout end to end, from stackup definition to manufacturing handoff. This role is for the designer who understands that a great board isn’t just electrically correct; it’s manufacturable, testable, and built to last. Role Overview: As a PCB Designer II, you will own the end-to-end design of high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs) across a variety of applications, including power electronics, RF, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital. You’ll create schematics, develop board layouts, and ensure designs meet electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing requirements. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will drive design decisions, anticipate risks, and evaluate trade-offs to balance technical performance, project timelines, and business goals. What You Will Do: - Own PCB layouts from concept through manufacturing handoff across power electronics, RF, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital applications - Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices, perform design rule checks (DRCs), and interface directly wi...
