At GalaxEye Space, we are pioneering the next generation of
Earth observation solutions with our cutting-edge satellite technology. As a
fast-growing space-tech startup, our mission is to revolutionize the way we
gather, process, and deliver geospatial intelligence. Join us to become a part
of an agile, high-impact team working at the forefront of space innovation.
PCB Design Engineer | 3+ years experience
Role & Responsibilities
Component Placement Optimization: Strategy-driven
placement of components considering signal flow, thermal dissipation,
mechanical constraints (keepouts, height restrictions), and ease of rework.
Multilayer Stackup Design: Configuring layer stackups
(typically 4 to 8+ layers), selecting dielectric materials, and determining
appropriate plane splits for power and ground returns.
Routing Implementation: Executing controlled
impedance routing for high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 3.0, DDR3/4, PCIe,
Ethernet), differential pairs, and heavy-current power paths.
Constraint Management: Setting up and managing
advanced design rules (clearances, trace widths, length matching, differential
pair routing rules) within the ECAD environment.
DFM / DFA / DFT Compliance: Standardizing designs to
meet manufacturer capabilities. This includes checking for minimum trace/space,
aspect ratios, annular ring sizes, component spacing for pick-and-place
machines, and placing test points for ICT (In-Circuit Testing).
Footprint & Library Management: Creating,
validating, and maintaining standard-compliant (IPC-7351) schematic symbols and
PCB footprints, ensuring correct pad sizes, pin pitches, and 3D models.
Fabrication Output Generation: Generating and
verifying comprehensive manufacturing packages, including Gerber files (or
ODB++), Excellon drill files, Bill of Materials (BOM), Pick-and-Place data, and
assembly drawings.
Tools: Proficiency in at least one major ECAD suite
(Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Expedition).
Standards: Good working knowledge of IPC standards
(IPC-2221 for generic design, IPC-7351 for footprints, etc.).
Fabrication Knowledge: Understanding of PCB
manufacturing processes (HASL vs ENIG finishes, via plugging/tenting,
blind/buried vias).
Requirements
Any technical diploma / degree
3+ years of experience on Altium
