About the role
- As a PCB Designer at Shield AI you will be responsible for creating the layouts that support our aircraft.
- You’ll work closely with electrical, mechanical and manufacturing engineers to translate schematics and requirements into robust, manufacturable PCBA designs.
- You will be involved in all steps of the PCBA design process including stackup design, constraint management, mechanical placement planning, generating drawings and manufacturing outputs.
Responsibilities
- Create PCB layouts for complex digital, analog, RF, high-speed, and power electronics designs.
- Plan and manage PCB stack-ups in collaboration with fabrication vendors and manufacturing engineers.
- Partner with electrical engineers to interpret schematics, routing rules, and design intent.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure proper board form factor integration, connector positioning, placement constraints.
- Apply best practices for signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, impedance control, and thermal/EMI mitigation.
- Conduct design reviews and implement feedback to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and compliance with company standards.
- Generate and maintain manufacturing documentation, including Gerber/ODB++ files, fabrication and assembly notes and drawings.
- Work with manufacturing engineering to ensure designs meet supplier DFM requirements.
Requirements
- BS in Engineering.
- Direct experience designing a PCB, either from projects or professional exposure.
- Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-2221/2222, IPC-7351, etc.)
- Familiar with PCB materials and manufacturing process, and stack-up construction.
- Familiar with controlled-impedance routing, differential pairs, length matching, and high-current power distribution.
- Familiar with scripting and automation
