About the role

End-to-End Design Ownership: Own the entire PCB lifecycle from initial concept and schematic capture through layout, routing, and manufacturing release.
Altium Execution: Develop and maintain complex multi-layer PCB layouts and schematics within Altium Designer.
Signal & Power Integrity: Design multi-layer boards with strict adherence to high-speed signal integrity, robust power distribution networks (PDN), and proper grounding strategies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with hardware, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical engineering teams to seamlessly integrate system constraints.
Library & Revisions: Manage component selection, maintain the ECAD library, and support board bring-up, debugging, and iterative design revisions.
