About us

One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we’re on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We’re looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.

What you'll do

As a Senior PCB Designer on the Space Infrastructure team, you will design and deliver complex, highreliability printed circuit boards that enable nextgeneration space systems and ground infrastructure. You will own PCB layout from early architectural trade studies through fabrication release, working closely with hardware, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers to translate demanding system requirements into robust, manufacturable designs.

This role focuses on multilayer, highspeed, mixedsignal, and powerdense boards that operate in challenging environments and support fast development cycles. You will help set design standards, improve workflows, and raise the overall quality and efficiency of PCB development across the organization.

The day-to-day

• Own PCB layout for complex designs, including component placement, routing, stackup definition, and constraint management for digital, analog, RF, and power circuits
• Design and route highlayercount boards (10+ layers) with controlled impedance, differential pairs, length matching, power integrity, and signal integrity considerations
• Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, RF, thermal, manufacturing, and test engineers during schematic development and design reviews
• Perform pre and postlayout SI/PI analysis, EMI/EMC risk mitigation, and layout trade studies to derisk designs early
• Generate and release complete fabrication and assembly deliverables (Gerber, ODB++, IPC2581, drill files, stackups, drawings, and assembly outputs)
• Apply DFM/DFA/DFT best practices, incorporating feedback from fabrication and assembly partners to improve yield, cost, and schedule
• Create, validate, and maintain symbols, footprints, and 3D models, and work with libraries to ensure accuracy and reuse
• Support prototype bringup, debug, and iteration by working alongside hardware and test teams
• Help define and improve PCB design standards, constraints, and workflows across the Space Infrastructure organization
• Mentor junior designers and contribute to raising the technical bar for layout quality and execution speed

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent professional experience
• 5 - 8 years of professional PCB layout experience, including ownership of complex, multilayer designs
• Demonstrated experience with highspeed digital, mixedsignal, and power electronics layouts
• Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, and manufacturability
• Experience producing fabrication and assembly packages and working directly with board houses and assemblers
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or Siemens Xpedition
• Ability to visualize component placement, routing strategies, and mechanical integration early in the design process
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in fastpaced, crossfunctional engineering environments
• Ability to travel up to 10%
• US Citizenship required

What will help you on the job

• Experience with Siemens Xpedition (strong plus)
• Experience with very highdensity designs, BGAs, finepitch components, and advanced packaging
• Familiarity with SI/PI simulation tools, constraintdriven design, and automation or scripting
• Experience supporting rapid development cycles, prototype iteration, and production rampup
• Exposure to space, aerospace, automotive, or other highreliability hardware environments
• A practical, detailoriented mindset with a bias toward clean layouts, fast iteration, and manufacturable solutions
