Senior PCB Design Engineer

Role Overview :   As a Senior PCB Design Engineer, you will take on a leadership position within our hardware design group. Your key duties will revolve around crafting, executing, and validating mixed-signal (Digital & RF) Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) customized for application in satellite and other orbital systems. These applications encompass a diverse spectrum, encompassing digital control / processing, ​​​​​​​motor drive units,​​​​​​​ onboard processors, ​​​​​and mass-storage units, all of which utilize cutting-edge space technologies.

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead the digital / analog PCB design for space environments.
• Mentor and oversee junior team members and interns in PCB design.
• Translate board-level requirements into a comprehensive design concept (incorporating architecture, I / Os, key components, power dissipation estimates, FPGA integration, software integration, etc.).
• Collaborate closely with FPGA, software, and test designers to finalize functional concepts and streamline integration.
• Complete or review the schematic capture level design.
• Identify and manage technology and design risks.
• Provide guidance to ensure Design for Manufacture / Test in space environments.
• Supervise and review design layout constraints, parts placement, manufacturing, and assembly drawings.
• Prepare or review lists of long lead items, bills of materials, and ensure parts qualifications for space.
• Conduct and review circuit simulations (using tools like SPICE, Hyperlynx, ADS, etc.) and various design analyses (e.g., worst-case scenarios, FMECA).
• Coordinate with various specialized teams (structural, thermal, packaging, manufacturing, quality assurance, etc.) to conduct necessary reviews for PCB component placement and layout.
• Oversee board assembly and manufacturing tests.
• Prepare and review various documents, including review presentations, test plans, test procedures, etc.
• Lead and guide junior team members in testing, troubleshooting, and debugging complex mixed-signal boards.
• Provide support for environmental and functional tests and validation for space missions.
• Report progress and address issues to the program lead or manager.
