Job Summary Client is seeking proactive engaged talent to join Electrical Product Design and Integration Engineering team as Electrical Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design Engineer II to support design, development, test (design verification, qualification, and certification) of electronic hardware for aerospace and aviation applications. Ideal candidate will have hands-on experience designing complex mixed-signal, digital, and power electronics PCBAs using Altium Designer or comparable PCB design tools. Individual should be familiar with aviation environmental and regulatory requirements including RTCA DO-160 environmental qualification testing, FAA certification processes, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and design practices associated with safety-critical airborne electronic systems. This position requires collaborative engineer who can work closely with systems, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and certification teams throughout product lifecycle. Practice safety-conscious behaviors in all operational processes and procedures. Key Responsibilities • Design and develop multi-layer PCBAs for aerospace and aviation applications from concept through production • Create schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication drawings, assembly documentation, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) • Perform component selection and lifecycle management with consideration for aerospace reliability and environmental requirements • Support analog, digital, mixed-signal, power distribution, and high-speed interface designs • Conduct signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal design assessments • Develop hardware verification and support development of qualification plans • Support laboratory testing, debugging, failure analysis, and root cause investigations • Collaborate with test engineers to execute environmental qualification activities • Support compliance testing including but not limited to: • RTCA DO-160 environmental qualification testing • EMI/EMC testing • Power input and transient testing • Temperature, vibration, humidity, and altitude testing
• Coordinate with systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and certification engineering teams • Support production transitions, sustaining engineering, and field issue resolution • Address design to cost, design for manufacturability, design to test, and reliability metrics of new developments. Establish plans to address gaps to requirements • Author engineering data which will be checked by peer groups or other project participants • Check engineering data which is authored by other engineers or project participants • Provide technical support during manufacturing and development of products as required
Requirements • Education: Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline – Minimum Required • Experience: 5+ years experience in electronics hardware design and PCB development – Minimum Required • Required Skills: • Demonstrated experience using Altium Designer or equivalent PCB design platforms (Cadence Allegro, Xpedition, OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, etc.) • Experience designing multi-layer PCBAs for commercial aviation, aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated industries • Knowledge of PCB design and layout best practices • Analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT) • EMI/EMC mitigation techniques • Experience supporting hardware validation, integration, and troubleshooting • Familiarity with engineering documentation, change control processes, and configuration management • Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Preferred Skills: • Aerospace or aviation industry experience • Working knowledge of RTCA DO-160, FAA certification processes, DO-254 concepts and hardware lifecycle processes • Experience supporting environmental qualification testing and certification programs • Experience with high-speed designs, FPGA-based systems, or embedded electronics • Familiarity with requirements management and systems engineering tools • Experience working with contract manufacturers and PCB fabrication suppliers
