Job responsibilities

  • Create PCB layouts in Altium for high-speed, low-speed, mixed-signal, power, and embedded electronics.
  • Partner with electrical engineers to understand schematic intent, critical nets, placement priorities, routing constraints, signal-integrity concerns, and design-risk areas.
  • Work with mechanical engineers on board outlines, keepouts, mounting features, connector placement, enclosure constraints, cable routing, thermal requirements, and 3D fit checks.
  • Define and apply layout rules for controlled impedance, differential pairs, length matching, spacing, creepage and clearance, via structures, return paths, and power distribution.
  • Place components and route boards with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability, testability, and serviceability.
  • Collaborate on stack-up definition, material selection, layer planning, impedance targets, HDI tradeoffs, and fabrication constraints.
  • Run design-rule checks, review layout issues, and drive closure of placement, routing, manufacturability, and assembly concerns before release.
  • Generate complete fabrication and assembly outputs, including Gerbers or ODB++, drill files, drawings, pick-and-place files, assembly notes, and documentation packages.
