Staff Electrical Engineer - PCB Layout & Component Library Support

Stryker

Portage, MI • On-site

$89K - $148K/yr

Full-time

Posted 11 days ago


Job description

Work Flexibility: Hybrid

Stryker is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer who can deliver high-quality PCB layout, ECAD component library support, and component engineering for medical device product development. This role converts schematics and design inputs into manufacturable PCB/PCBA outputs, maintains controlled ECAD library data, supports component lifecycle and BOM reviews, and partners with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and external PCBA suppliers to resolve design and production issues. The ideal candidate has strong Altium and OrCAD/Allegro capability, practical PCB/PCBA manufacturing knowledge, and experience with DFM/DFT, Valor, and Silicon Expert or equivalent tools.

What You Will Do

  • Independently design and develop PCB layouts and related ECAD outputs for medical device components, sub-systems, prototypes and production releases.

  • Translate schematics, design inputs and system constraints into manufacturable PCB/PCBA designs using Altium Designer, OrCAD/Allegro and applicable legacy ECAD platforms.

  • Optimise PCB designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal performance, mechanical fit and supplier capability.

  • Create, review and maintain controlled ECAD library content, including schematic symbols, footprints, component models and associated documentation.

  • Generate and review PCB fabrication and assembly packages, including Gerber and ODB++ files, drawings, BOM outputs, release packages and engineering change documentation.

  • Lead advanced problem solving and root cause analysis related to PCB design, manufacturing, yield, quality, reliability and component issues.

  • Perform component engineering activities, including component selection, BOM reviews, lifecycle and obsolescence assessments, alternate sourcing and supply-chain support.

  • Develop and improve ECAD design guidelines, library governance, review processes, databases and tools, including DFM/DFT, manufacturing-readiness, automation and emerging AI-assisted workflows.

  • Collaborate across Electrical Engineering, R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Advanced Operations and external manufacturing partners, providing technical leadership and mentoring others in ECAD and PCB design best practices.

What You Need (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor's degree in EE or related discipline & 4+ years of work experience.

  • Demonstrated experience in PCB layout design, ECAD component library development, PCB/PCBA documentation, component engineering, or related electrical CAD work.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Understanding of ECAD PCB layout, component libraries, PCB/PCBA manufacturing methods, and common failure modes.

  • Ability to translate schematics, design inputs, and system constraints into manufacturable PCB/PCBA layout outputs.

  • Proficiency with Altium Designer and OrCAD/Allegro; familiarity with legacy ECAD platforms preferred.

  • Working knowledge of controlled ECAD documentation, library governance, and engineering change/release processes.

  • Practical understanding of DFM/DFT, PCB manufacturing-readiness, component lifecycle, BOM review, and obsolescence risk.

  • Ability to review PCB/PCBA designs for manufacturability, testability, EMI/EMC, thermal performance, mechanical fit, and system-level interactions.

  • Experience with Valor, Silicon Expert, or equivalent PCB analysis and component lifecycle tools preferred.
