We're seeking an experienced PCB Designer to lead high-complexity RF and phased array board layouts. You'll work directly with antenna, RFIC, and systems engineers to translate schematics and floorplans into manufacturable, high-performance multilayer designs for satellite, HAPS/NTN, and defense applications.
Design and lay out complex multilayer PCBs for RF and mixed-signal systems using Mentor (Siemens) Xpedition
Execute phased array panel layouts, including tightly matched feed networks, controlled-impedance routing, and lattice-spacing constraints for antenna elements
Manage length/phase matching, impedance control, and signal integrity for high-frequency and high-speed signals
Develop and maintain constraint sets, layer stackups, and design rules in coordination with fabrication and assembly partners
Perform DFM/DFA/DFT reviews and work with vendors to resolve manufacturability issues
Generate complete fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerber/ODB++, drill, fab drawings, assembly drawings, BOM)
Collaborate with antenna, RF, thermal, and mechanical engineers on board partitioning, grounding, shielding, and thermal management
BSc in Electrical Engineering or a related field
5+ years of PCB layout experience, with demonstrated expertise in Mentor Xpedition (Enterprise/Designer flow)
Proven experience with RF/microwave PCB design, including controlled impedance, transmission-line structures, and RF component placement
Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and high-frequency layout techniques
Experience with multilayer, high-density (HDI) boards and advanced stackups
Proficiency generating industry-standard fabrication/assembly outputs and interfacing with fab houses
Working knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-7351, IPC-A-600/610)
Direct experience with phased array / antenna array panel layout
Familiarity with mmWave or high-frequency (>10 GHz) design considerations
Experience with full-panel integration and large-format board designs
Familiarity with RF simulation/EM tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, EMX) and constraint-driven design flows
Experience collaborating within an IC/RFIC design environment
