PCB Design Engineer
Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Own PCB layout on assigned designs from released schematic through fabrication release, including board outline, layer stackup definition, component placement, routing, and design rule closure
- Read and interpret schematics from the design engineers and apply the layout practices appropriate to each design
- Own the Altium library: footprints, schematic symbols, land patterns, 3D component bodies, design rule and board templates, output jobs, naming conventions, and revision control
- Implement high-speed digital, RF, precision analog, and power sections on the same board, applying controlled impedance, differential pair and length matching, and disciplined return path design
- Design flexible and rigid-flex circuits, including bend area construction, stiffeners, coverlay, and ZIF terminations
- Produce complete fabrication and assembly documentation to IPC Class 2 and Class 3, including fab and assembly drawings, Gerber X2 or ODB++, NC drill, netlists, paste and assembly data, and BOM outputs
- Work directly with fabrication and assembly vendors on stackup and impedance confirmation, DFM and DFA feedback, and resolution of manufacturing issues
- Establish and maintain the department's PCB design standards, review layouts produced by others, and coordinate external layout resources during design surges
