PCB Designer

In this role, the PCB Designer will design moderate to complex printed circuit board (PCB) layouts in the domain of Digital, Analog, Power & RF interconnect applications. This includes responsibility for circuit board layout conceptualization, (CAD application by means of Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro & Altium tool sets), detail design activities and value-engineering in support of internal TTM programs. Areas of emphasis/focus include physical design (CAD implementation)/documentation utilizing best practice of electrical IPC standards/methodologies with experienced approach to manufacturing and sustaining maintenance of legacy design projects. Complementary support provided by a combination of TTM Management, Field Application Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering and NPI Manufacturing teams. Duties and Responsibilities: Design Engineering Physical Design- 37PCB concept sketches for assistance in design layout estimating37PCB design suggestions/trade-offs regarding initial engineering inputs37Support changes to existing schematic diagrams using TTM suite of tools: OrCAD, Altium and/or DxDesigner37Place and route components ensuring that all electrical and physical specifications meet the detailed design requirements for each PCB design. Utilization of Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro and/or Altium required 37Participate in design reviews, interface with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and process engineers to design proto-type and production printed circuit boards in accordance with TTM standards and quality procedures37Collaborate on assigned projects closely with Si (Signal Integrity) or various engineering disciplines, fellow designers and Program Management37Provide layout feedback to design engineers as needed to ensure functionality and manufacturability of PCB designs37Create fabrication and assembly drawings utilizing native CAD tools and/or Siemens BluePrint37Generate all output files (ODB++) & PCB/CCA (documentation) required for the manufacture of the board and assembly37Maintain Engineering Change (ECN) responsibilities on re-design and documentation updates Industry and TTM-specific electrical standards and methodologies- 37Product safety and EMI consideration during eCAD layout (UL, CSA, NEBS, Etc.)37Standardization of electrical components and eCAD libraries utilizing IPC or vendor specific standards37Exceedingly experienced with High-Speed PCB Design Constraints: Differential Pairs, Routing Topologies, Controlled Impedance, Length-matched Traces and Delay Tuning37Demonstrated experience with RF PCB routing complexities. Implement layout rules for RF transmission lines (Micro-strip & Coplanar Waveguide), signal line isolation practices, via fencing & unique RF routing structures37Direct design experience related to multi-layer CCA and Flex PCB technologies 37Current knowledge of BCl-via/HDI layout methodologies and best practices37Understanding of stack-up materials/construction along with impedance modeling requirements Qualification/Knowledge/Skills Required:  Experience: Minimum of 3 years' experience with primary hands-on demonstrated proficiency of Siemen's Xpedition (VX2.14 or later), Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (17.4 or later) and/or Altium product experience is required. Comprehensive understanding of electrical and mechanical engineering design practices related to printed circuit board electrical drafting and fabrication drawing creation experience is essential. Necessary familiarities with electrical design utilizing IPC standards, IAW IPC-2221/3 and associated specs is critical. Knowledge and methodology utilizing standard IPC Class III approach to design and manufacturing concerns is also necessary.  Education: Minimum Associates in Electrical Design/Drafting or BS in Electronic Technology. Related eCAD training certification/career experience will be considered in lieu of a degreed program with 3-5 year track record. Related PCB design for the Aerospace and Defense sectors is highly desirable. 37CID/CID++ Certification for PCB Designers highly recognized as professional validation of design, documentation, and manufacturability skills within the industry.37Solid oral communication and interfacing skills with technical and manufacturing personnel to resolve engineering tasks. Propose alternatives when faced with challenging PCB design situations including resolutions to non-standard problems.37Appropriate understanding of vendor component data sheets for creation of schematic library and/or PCB footprints expected.
