Our client"s Microsystems business is seeking an experienced Principal PCB & Substrate Layout Engineer to join our growing, engaging, and collaborative team. As a valued team member, you will collaborate to deliver leading edge microelectronics that are game changing and impactful to our nation"s defense. Client sits at the intersection of high-tech and defense - we are focused on accelerating innovations that matter to the aerospace, defense, and space sectors. We leverage our longstanding strategic partnerships to access the latest in commercial technologies to design, manufacture, test, and deliver rugged microelectronics that operate in the harshest environments, with extreme reliability and maintainability. Client partners closely with the U.S. government delivering onshore trusted microelectronics.
You are responsible for:
Providing technical leadership to the engineering team specifically focused on High-Speed Interfaces and High Density Substrates layout techniques and understanding and improving our layout development processes to ensure we produce quality products using your expertise in PCB and Substrate layout engineering.
Responsibilities:
* Driving design, layout, and analysis of complicated electrical and mechanical systems and their constituent parts including: high-density interposers, substrates, and printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. This includes power, digital, analog, and RF signals across multiple die (primarily flip-chip)
* Hands on high-speed, multi-layer packaging, high-density interconnects (HDI), blind and buried vias, ball grid arrays (BGAs), RF, design for test (DFT), impedance calculations, cross talk, differential pairs, PCB stack-ups, PCB via structures, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), material studies/selection, etc.
* Understand Design For Manufacturing rules of our suppliers and ensure design process matches their capabilities
* Understand and provide fabrication drawings that match the intent of the design and support the fabrication suppliers to ensure the technical intent is transferred successfully
* Support package material characterization frequency dependent model; skin effects, smoothness, roughness, dielectric loss and dielectric constant
* Work with peers and the engineering team to review the artwork and drawings at different stages and at the final design review for fabrication and assembly
* Provide support for multidisciplinary investigations and feasibility studies with collaboration across engineering disciplines
* Provide Technical guidance for interfacing to customers, subcontractors, assemblers, fabricators, and vendors/suppliers, operations, quality, supply chain, and supporting organizations
* Works on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors
* Considers the effects of actions on the system as a whole, i.e. 'systems-thinking'
* Willing to help the team in areas outside of specific technical discipline to accomplish goals
You will be a part of:
The team responsible for the rapid development of affordable, chip-scale, secure, open system architecture devices.

* HDI stack-ups, including use of blind & buried micro-vias, specialty RF dielectric materials, and trace width/spacing around 15um/15um down to 2um/2um or below
* Experience with 2.5D devices, interposer or substrate design, flip-chip, surface mount, die stacking, package stacking, substrate stacking and other techniques
* Experience using a Cadence schematic / netlist driven CAD layout process, e.g. Cadence APD+ (Allegro) and supporting tools
* High-end FPGA package or board design experience
* Ability to work with our Mechanical team to design full 3D models for fit checks and thermal
* Understanding of layout techniques in Digital, Analog, and/or RF layouts
* Knowledge of electronic packaging techniques
* Experience using a CAM package for manufacturing data validation. Knowledge of CAM350 & Blueprint is preferred
* Working knowledge of JEDEC /IPC design, fabrication, and assembly specifications
