Altium PCB layout Designer (W2 only)

Role Description The Altium PCB Layout Designer (W2 only) will be responsible for creating, reviewing, and optimizing PCB layouts using Altium for a variety of electronic designs in a remote contract role. Day-to-day tasks include translating schematic designs into manufacturable PCB layouts, placing components, routing signals, and ensuring compliance with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing requirements. The designer will collaborate with hardware engineers and cross-functional teams to resolve layout issues, perform design reviews, and incorporate feedback for continuous improvement. The role also involves preparing fabrication and assembly files, maintaining design libraries, and adhering to industry standards and company documentation practices. The individual will work independently while meeting project deadlines and supporting multiple design cycles as needed.

Qualifications

• Candidates should possess strong PCB Layout Design skills, including component placement, routing, and design for manufacturability using Altium or similar tools.
• Candidates should possess Analog design-related skills, such as understanding high-speed, power, and mixed-signal layout considerations.
• Candidates should possess Page Layout and documentation skills for creating clear, organized schematic pages and design outputs.
• Candidates should possess experience with Cadence or comparable EDA tools, enabling cross-platform collaboration and design review.
• Candidates should possess IC Layout fundamentals, including familiarity with layout constraints, parasitics, and integration with PCB designs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer and version control for design files, plus knowledge of IPC standards and common PCB manufacturing processes.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to work remotely with distributed teams on contract engagements.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for collaborating with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Experience with EMI/EMC considerations, signal integrity, and multi-layer PCB design is highly beneficial.
