Mid-Level PCB CAD Layout Designer

Role overview Create and maintain printed circuit board layouts as part of a CAD team, supporting designs from component placement through release. The work combines layout execution, design checks, documentation, and coordination with engineering and manufacturing partners to ensure boards meet applicable standards and production needs.

Responsibilities - Perform component placement, routing, design-rule checks, design-for-manufacturing checks, and layout documentation. - Use Siemens Xpedition tools, including CES and EDM, for PCB layout work. - Participate in design entry, placement, and exit reviews, following established CAD processes. - Coordinate with mechanical, new product introduction, test, and related engineering teams to resolve design interfaces and meet standards. - Release CAD data, drawings, and supporting documentation into the product lifecycle management system. - Process engineering changes and check designs against IPC standards and manufacturing guidelines.

Requirements - At least 2–3 years of PCB design experience. - At least 3 years of direct experience with Xpedition, CES, and EDM. - Basic knowledge of PCB fabrication, tolerances, and IPC standards. - Experience with digital/via-stack, RF/analog, or mixed-signal PCB layouts. - Familiarity with schematic capture and collaboration with mechanical engineering on board profiles and stack-ups.
