High-performance printed circuit boards are critical to realizing a high-performance radar sensor. As a Senior PCB Design Engineer, you will play a key role in every phase of the product lifecycle (Definition, Exploration, Architecting, Design, Development, Verification, Production, and Sustainment). In each phase you will both contribute to solving and learn from challenging problems in circuit design, design for test, design for manufacturability, all related to state-of-the-art radar. In this role, you will draw upon your background in PCB design to aid in the quick progression through the smallest assessments to the largest design efforts for ground-breaking products.

• Execute PCB layout, DFX efforts and fabrication/assembly package generation for multiple designs from prototypes & coupons to pre-production to production and also product revisions
• Create, review and manage component symbols, footprints, 3D models and local routing in the company-wide component library.
• Work with RF Engineering and Analog/Mixed Signal design teams to learn requirements and key features, understand how these features match with vendor capabilities, and implement best practices in Schematic and Layout
• Work with RF Engineering, Analog/Mixed Signal Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and external vendors to optimize designs for cost, quality, and manufacturability
• Prepare drawing updates for ECOs (Engineering Change Orders), MCOs (Manufacturing Change Orders) and Deviations
• Other related tasks required to fulfill the needs of the business

• Experience using Altium Designer Environment both Schematic Capture and PCB Layout Environment
  • The use of Mentor Graphics, PADs or ORCAD software packages could also be considered
• In-depth understanding of PWB/PCB design processes for RF and High Speed Digital boards, including stackup selection, assembly methods, and DFM/DFT appropriate design methodologies
• Understanding of IPC standards, PCB materials and finishes, and fabrication and assembly processes, particularly with regards to high frequency, RF/mm-wave applications

• Associate Degree in Electronics and 10+ years of recent design experience, or equivalent industry knowledge and 15+ years of recent design experienceI
• PC Designer Certification is a plus
• Experience with navigating computer systems and software necessary to perform job functions using tools within the Windows Office Suite (Word, Outlook, Excel, etc.)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Eligibility to handle export controlled data (ITAR, EAR)

Echodynes technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicants eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
