Hiring - PCB Layout Designer/CAD Engineer

[manntellian]

Hey all, I work for a satellite communications company, and we're looking for a Senior PCB CAD Engineer to join our company. This isn't a standard layout role. You'd be the technical authority for our PCBA design strategy, setting standards the rest of the team builds on.

Some details/things you'd own:


HDI stack-up strategy: via technology selection, floor-planning for flagship multilayer boards
Schematic ownership: hierarchical captures, deep circuit analysis, not just execution
SI/PI leadership: DRC oversight plus signal and power integrity work to get first-pass right
Library/CAD governance: setting the standard for component libraries and PLM integration across the department
Automation: this is a big one for us. Building Python-based tooling and AI-driven workflows to speed up schematic generation and routing feasibility
Cross-functional lead: you'd be the go-between for Hardware, Mechanical, Antenna, and Firmware teams, especially on EMI and integration challenges
DfX: enforcing DFM/DFA/DFT as we scale designs into high-volume production


Ideal person has deep Cadence Allegro/OrCAD chops, has actually led (not just executed) multilayer/HDI designs, and is comfortable mentoring junior engineers.

If this sounds like your kind of work, or you know someone who'd be a great fit, feel free to DM me. Happy to answer questions about the job or the team.

Important factors to mention :

Location ? remote ? in-office ? hybrid ? Relocation assistance ?

no, i'm not interested. i don't do Cadence/OrCad.

Hi,

This opportunity sounds very interesting. The combination of advanced HDI PCB design, SI/PI optimization, CAD automation, and cross-functional engineering is particularly compelling.

I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your team’s design challenges and how my experience in PCB design and hardware engineering could contribute to your workflow, design quality, and production readiness.

I’d be happy to connect and learn more about the role and your expectations for the ideal candidate.

Best regards, 
Ezekiel
