Job Description
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.
This is a 6 month contract to hire position (will convert permanent). Offers comprehensive benefits package including, medical, dental and vision plans, and 401(K). Pay: $37-$62/hour. 12 month contract with likely extensions. This role will be onsite M- Thu (4x week) in Eatontown, NJ and work form home on Friday.
Duties and Responsibilities:- Create PCB concept layouts and provide design recommendations during the early development phase.- Update and modify existing schematics using tools such as OrCAD, Altium, and DxDesigner.- Perform PCB component placement and routing while ensuring electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing requirements are met.- Design complex printed circuit boards utilizing Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, and/or Altium.- Work closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and process engineers throughout the design lifecycle.- Collaborate with Signal Integrity (SI) engineers, PCB designers, and Program Managers to support project execution.- Review designs and provide feedback to improve performance, manufacturability, and reliability.- Create fabrication and assembly documentation using CAD tools and Siemens BluePrint.- Generate manufacturing deliverables, including ODB++ files, assembly documentation, and PCB production packages.- Support Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), design revisions, and documentation updates.

Required Skills & Experience
- 3+ years of hands-on PCB design experience using Siemens Xpedition (VX2.14+), Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (17.4+), and/or Altium.- Strong experience with PCB layout, electrical drafting, and fabrication drawing creation.- Working knowledge of electrical and mechanical design principles related to printed circuit board development.- Familiarity with IPC standards, including IPC-2221/2223 and associated PCB design specifications.- Experience designing and manufacturing boards to IPC Class III standards.- Understanding of PCB design for manufacturability (DFM), assembly, and production requirements.- Ability to create and maintain engineering documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
Nice to Have Skills & Experience
- CID/CID++ Certification for PCB Designers highly recognized as professional validation of design, documentation, and manufacturability skills within the industry. xzbcwsv - Related PCB design for the Aerospace and Defense sectors is highly desirable.
