What is an Internship Altium PCB?

An Internship Altium PCB is a training position where students or recent graduates gain hands-on experience in designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) using Altium Designer, a popular electronic design automation (EDA) software. Interns in this role typically assist with schematic capture, PCB layout, and documentation for electronic products. This internship helps individuals build practical skills in electronic design, understand industry standards, and prepare for careers in hardware engineering or PCB design.

What is the difference between Internship Altium Pcb vs PCB Designer?

AspectInternship Altium PcbPCB Designer
CredentialsBasic knowledge of Altium Designer, relevant courseworkProficiency in PCB design software, certifications preferred
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, supervised tasks, entry-levelFull-time or freelance, professional design environment
Industry UsageTraining and learning phase, entry-level projectsDesigning complex PCB layouts for products and prototypes

Internship Altium Pcb roles focus on learning and assisting with PCB design using Altium Designer, often in a supervised environment. PCB Designer positions require advanced skills, experience, and the ability to independently create detailed PCB layouts for various electronic products. While internships are entry-level and educational, PCB Designer roles are professional and specialized.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Altium PCB Design Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Altium PCB Design Intern, you need a solid understanding of electronic circuit theory, PCB layout principles, and basic knowledge of electrical engineering, often supported by current enrollment in an engineering program. Familiarity with Altium Designer software, schematic capture tools, and version control systems is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help interns excel in collaborating with engineering teams and learning quickly. These skills ensure accurate PCB designs, smooth workflow integration, and effective learning in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
PCB DESIGNER (STARSHIP)
The Starship team supports the mission to revolutionize orbital flight and space travel- opening access for humankind to establish new frontiers in space and ultimately become a multi-planetary species. Our team builds some of the most advanced electronics ever flown in space- at a cost and rate previously considered unthinkable in the space industry. Become a part of this fast moving and world class hardware development team, work with super smart and motivated engineers, and achieve truly audacious goals. If you're ready for a challenge and would like to help make our civilization multi-planetary then you've come to the right place!
As a PCB Designer on the Starship team, you'll be responsible for creating the layout for all our in-house board designs. You're not just connecting the dots. Here you'll partner closely with Hardware Development Engineers as they develop their schematics, providing your expertise and recommendations at each design review, and iterating your designs to come up with the best possible solutions. You'll contribute to a variety of design mixes from radio phased arrays to power converters and more.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Determine layer stack-up, perform component package selection, component placement, routing feasibility studies, and signal routing of digital, analog, RF, and power conversion of printed circuit boards (PCB)
  • Perform multilayer PCB layout (20+ layers), including component placement, high-speed routing (differential pairs, length matching), controlled impedance, and power/ground plane design
  • Conduct pre- and post-layout SI/PI simulations to mitigate crosstalk, reflections, and EMI/EMC issues
  • Perform DRC/ERC checks, peer reviews, and design audits; collaborate with hardware/firmware engineers for functional validation and prototype bring-up support
  • Produce fabrication deliverables (Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, drill files, stack-up drawings, assembly files)
  • Analyze designs for manufacturability; incorporate production feedback from fabrication houses and assembly partners to reduce costs and improve yield
  • Collaborate with internal teams and PCB vendors to continually improve design rules, constraints and design for test and manufacture guidelines
  • Customize and verify symbols, footprints, and 3D models; interface with PCB librarians for new parts and resolve library discrepancies
  • Work with mechanical, thermal, RF, and test engineers on stack-up planning, thermal vias, shielding, and enclosure integration; participate in design reviews and risk assessments
  • Assist our librarians in creating, updating, and maintaining accurate PCB component libraries including symbols, footprints, 3D STEP models, and parametric data in CAD tools like Altium and Xpedition
  • Drive the future roadmap for SpaceX to incorporate custom AI tools to radically improve the efficiency of PCB design tasks

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering OR 3+ years of professional experience with PCB layout in lieu of a degree (internships and club/project work applies)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • 2+ years of experience with PCB layout and routing in one or all of the following areas: modern passive and active electronics components, surface-mount, RF components, ball-grid array and similar fine pitch, or high pin density components
  • 1+ years of experience with ECAD libraries and library configuration management
  • Demonstrated understanding of design for manufacturability, assembly, and test
  • Experience with Mentor Xpedition and/or Altium Designer (Mentor Xpedition preferred)
  • Experience with layout of mixed analog and digital designs, high speed buses, FPGA, DRAM and CPU designs, power supplies, DC-DC converters, transmission lines, impedance-controlled traces and power traces
  • Proficiency in generating fabrication outputs (Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, drill files), DFM/DFA analysis, constraint-driven design, and collaboration with libraries (symbols, footprints, 3D models)
  • Ability to visualize component placement and interconnectivity
  • Proficiency in Python, Altium/Mentor Xpedition scripting, or similar for automating library tasks, data extraction, and validation
  • Demonstrated cross functional project management skills and ability to collaborate with other engineering disciplines
  • Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones
