About the Role
As the PCB Designer III, you will independently lead the layout and documentation of complex, high-density printed circuit boards (PCBs) for North Atlantic Industries' high-reliability electronic products. This role serves as a technical resource for advanced PCB design, driving layout quality, manufacturability, and schedule performance through collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Lead the layout design and documentation of complex multilayer, high-density PCBs, ensuring compliance with engineering requirements, IPC standards, and manufacturing best practices.
- Develop complete fabrication and assembly documentation packages, verifying accuracy, completeness, and manufacturability prior to release.
- Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Test Engineering to resolve design challenges involving signal integrity, impedance control, thermal management, and mechanical constraints.
- Establish and maintain advanced PCB design libraries, footprints, symbols, and layout standards to improve design consistency and efficiency.
- Review PCB layouts and documentation for technical accuracy, provide design guidance to junior designers, and support continuous improvement of layout processes.
- Support prototype builds, engineering investigations, and production issues by evaluating layout-related concerns and implementing effective design solutions.
Requirements
- Candidates must be a U.S. Person, defined as either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), and must be able to provide appropriate documentation upon hire to verify this status.
- Some positions involve sensitive customer contracts and require U.S. citizenship as a condition of employment.
Skills
- Advanced proficiency with Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and OrCAD Capture, including complex multilayer PCB design and documentation.
- Demonstrated knowledge of IPC standards, PCB fabrication and assembly processes, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles.
- Experience designing high-speed, mixed-signal, and high-density PCB layouts with an understanding of signal integrity and controlled impedance design techniques.
- Experience supporting defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical electronics programs.
- Familiarity with design rule development using constraint manager and advanced PCB stack-up optimization.
- Ability to mentor junior PCB designers and provide technical leadership on complex design projects.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a collaborative engineering environment.
