Own RF PCB layout from initial placement through manufacturing release in Altium Designer
Define and implement stack-ups, controlled-impedance routing, and RF grounding, shielding, and isolation strategies
Translate schematic intent into layouts that meet RF performance requirements, including connector launches, transitions, filtering, and protection circuitry placement
Partner with RF design, electrical, antenna, mixed-signal, mechanical, and test engineers to develop layout constraints, run reviews, and de-risk first-pass success
Drive DFM/DFT considerations with fabrication and assembly partners, including documentation and release artifacts

Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience
Experience in PCB layout, fabrication, and release of RF and/or high-performance electronics
Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
Experience designing RF and microwave PCB layouts including controlled-impedance routing, launches and transitions, grounding, shielding, and isolation
Comfort with Altium Designer for constraint-driven layout and clean manufacturing outputs; experience with Allegro and/or OrCAD is a plus
Experience with manufacturing release, DFM/DFT considerations, and collaborating with fabrication and assembly partners
Experience supporting lab bring-up and RF characterization alongside design and test engineers
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, must be a U.S. citizen or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
