## Description

As a PCB Designer on our electronics design team, you will develop innovative new technologies from concept to production for advanced electronic modules in next-generation vehicles.

You will lay out and route high-speed digital circuit boards for high production volumes, work with PCB fabricators and assembly suppliers, and deliver designs that meet quality, schedule and cost targets.

## Responsibilities

- Lay out and route multi-GHz, high-speed boards, including through-hole, HDI and ELIC PCBs, using Mentor Xpedition Enterprise layout tools and schematic capture

- Take PCB layout through to completion of board files, generate BOMs and upload them to PLM

- Design mixed circuit and signal boards using fine-pitch and ball grid array ICs and large through-hole parts

- Propose stackups aligned with design requirements and cost efficiency

- Author cost-optimization panelization studies, and identify cost-saving opportunities while holding to design requirements

- Close DFMs and DFAs. Review, document and resolve the root cause of PCB fabrication FAIs and DFMs, and approve first article inspections

- Collaborate with fabrication and assembly suppliers on DFM and DFA requirements and fabrication tools

- Track bare-board compliance to performance and reliability requirements

- Propose improvements to existing design rules. Write technical specifications and instructions, and generate documentation that improves design processes and procedures

- Assist in creating ECAD component library parts

- Design experiments and analyze raw data using statistical methods

- Arrange and participate in layout design reviews, and interface closely with other engineering disciplines

- Handle several designs in parallel in a team environment. Be accountable for on-time, on-quality PCB CAD releases, including extended hours during peak release periods

- Stay current on PCB materials, fabrication guidelines and IPC standards

- Travel occasionally to support PCB assembly and fabrication efforts

## Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

- At least 3 years of experience designing high-speed digital circuit boards

- At least 3 years of experience with PCB CAD design (for example, through-hole, HDI and ELIC PCBs)

## Benefits

- Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage

- Paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments and more

- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

- Tuition assistance

- Established and active employee resource groups

- Paid time off for individual and team community service

- Generous vacation time, sick/personal time, and paid holidays, including between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day

## Skills

### Required
- PCB design
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mentor Xpedition Enterprise

### Nice to have
- Expert knowledge of PCB design tools
- Familiarity with routing protocols for DDR, RF circuit and antenna, Ethernet and PCIe
- Familiarity with design of experiments and statistical analysis methods
- ECAD librarian experience
- Knowledge of software tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Polar simulation and Minitab
