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.

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.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with engineers to produce printed circuit board designs supporting Anduril's products.
• Apply modern design standards and guidelines to create high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies.
• Implement combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs.
• Lead the team in establishing internal guidelines for design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and overall quality fabrication and assembly outputs.
• Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library/database standards.
• Coordinate external PCB design resources during design surges.
• Work in a fast-paced environment, having to juggle multiple concurrent projects and customers.

Required Qualifications

• 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

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