PCB Layout Specialist

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team is seeking a PCB Layout Specialist to transform ambitious concepts into manufacturable reality for the next generation of US radars.

In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to route high-speed mixed-signal designs, interact with fabricators and assemblers, and manage signal integrity in complex PCBs.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working directly with engineers to produce printed circuit board designs supporting Anduril's products.
• Applying modern design standards and guidelines to create high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies.
• Implementing combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs.
• Leading the team in establishing internal guidelines for design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and overall quality fabrication and assembly outputs.
• Developing and refining team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library/database standards.
• Coordinating external PCB design resources during design surges.

Required qualifications include:

• A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or similar and 5+ years of professional experience in PCB design OR 10+ years of professional experience in PCB design.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design.
• Expertise in applying relevant IPC standards, CID, CID+ certification.
• Expertise in PCB fabrication processes, limitations, design rules, and best practice.
• Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools (Allegro is a plus).
• Experience with developing component libraries and library management.
• Excellent communication skills with multiple fab houses (ensuring boards are built to print).
• Excellent communication skills with multiple assembly houses (ensuring boards are built to BOM).
• Experience with a variety of board types, including high density and high layer count (greater than 16) digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits.
• Experience with HDI (high density interconnect) and thicker boards (greater than 1.6mm).
• Experience with high speed digital interfaces and controlled impedance routing requirements like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Familiarity with RF board design.
• Experience with high-pin count packages (FPGA fanout).
• Familiarity with basic signal and power integrity rules (how they affect layout).
