About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own ECAD design execution for assigned scope, including planning, coordination, and delivery aligned to program schedules and engineering requirements
Perform hands-on ECAD design and layout for complex printed circuit card assemblies including multilayer rigid, flex, and high-density interconnect (HDI) designs
Support schematic capture and layout implementation while managing electrical and physical constraints (high-speed, high-voltage, high-current)
Communicate design status, technical risks, and schedule impacts with engineering stakeholders and program teams
Participate in and contribute to cross-functional design reviews with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Configuration Management
Develop and maintain complete ECAD documentation packages (fabrication, assembly, and design documentation)
Manage ECAD data within PLM systems and ensure compliance with configuration management requirements
Incorporate DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test) principles throughout the layout process
Troubleshoot complex design issues and resolve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability challenges in collaboration with cross-functional teams
Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior designers and support knowledge sharing across the ECAD team
Support adherence to ECAD standards, library usage, and best practices across programs
Coordinate ECAD activities for small projects or defined work scopes
