PCB Layout Engineer

Description

The Entry Level Layout Designer will own the end-to-end PCB (printed circuit board) design process from layout to manufacturing preparation for our core RF and Microwave products. This role works closely with the engineering team to translate schematics to layouts including footprint design for new components, component placement, high frequency design, power and digital circuitry, VIA placement and more. Designs will conform to X-Microwave best practices and culminate in peer review and panelization in preparation for manufacturing.

The primary tools used will be Keysight ADS design software and CAD based software for manipulation and panelization layout files to be sent out for manufacturing.
