What is a Contract PCB Designer job?

A Contract PCB Designer is a freelance or temporary professional responsible for designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) based on client specifications. They use PCB design software, such as Altium Designer or Eagle, to create layouts, schematics, and manufacturing files. Contract PCB Designers typically work with engineering teams to ensure designs meet electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability requirements. They may work remotely or on-site for short-term projects. Their role is crucial in developing electronic products across industries like consumer electronics, automotive, and medical devices.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Contract Pcb Designer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract PCB Designer, you need expertise in electronic circuit design, PCB layout, and a strong understanding of manufacturing processes, often gained through an engineering degree or technical certification. Proficiency with PCB design software such as Altium Designer, Eagle, or OrCAD is typically required, along with familiarity with industry standards like IPC. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication for collaborating with engineers and clients are key soft skills. These competencies ensure the production of high-quality, manufacturable PCB designs that meet client requirements on tight deadlines.

What are some common challenges faced by Contract PCB Designers and how can they be managed?

Contract PCB Designers often face challenges such as tight project deadlines, rapidly changing client specifications, and ensuring their designs are both manufacturable and cost-effective. Balancing multiple projects and communicating effectively with cross-functional teams, such as engineers, project managers, and manufacturers, is essential for successfully delivering projects on time. Staying well-organized, up-to-date with industry standards, and proactively clarifying requirements can help mitigate risks. Successful designers are adaptable and resourceful, allowing them to quickly respond to design revisions and production constraints throughout the project lifecycle.

At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are looking to add a Senior PCB Designer II to our team. If you are excited about working in a startup environment, have a strong work ethic, and are passionate about cutting-edge electronics, we would like to hear from you.

In this position, you will perform PCB layout and library management for state-of-the-art power, digital, and RF electronics for aerospace applications. Electronics design is a core part of the company's business, and as such, these functions are critical. You will have the opportunity to work with and learn from a highly talented team with state-of-the-art tools.

As a small company, the Cesium team "wears many hats." Candidates should be comfortable with a varied workflow that may involve multitasking between PCB layout, library management, schematic capture, review, and other related tasks.
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Perform complex mixed-signal PCB layout in Altium Designer, working closely with engineers on staff.
  • Own intricate and challenging PCB layouts that often feature 30 GHz RF, power, and digital on the same board, with high density and complex stackups.
  • Generate and revise drawings and release packages for PCBs and assemblies.
  • Manage and maintain electronic component libraries in Altium Enterprise.
  • Generate and review schematic symbols and footprints.
  • Maintain templates for schematics, layouts, bills-of-materials (BOMs), and other documents.
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • An Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology or similar.
  • 7 years of experience as a PCB Designer.
  • Strong experience with Altium Designer.
  • Strong understanding of the technical principles of PCB layout.
  • Experience with high-reliability, aerospace, and/or IPC Class 3 designs.
  • Experience with advanced PCB manufacturing techniques such as blind vias and microvias.
  • Strong organizational skills.
  • An eye for detail and commitment to excellence.
  • Comfortability with collaboration tools such as MS Teams, Confluence, and Jira.
  • The ability to work well under deadlines.
  • Strong digital, written, and spoken communication skills, especially in the context of working with hardware engineers and mechanical engineers to complete a layout.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience managing an electronic component library.
  • Experience with PLM systems such as Arena.
CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate's work experience, education/training, and key skills.  Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans.  
 
CesiumAstro is an Equal Opportunity employer.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected Veteran Status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
