Pcb Electronics Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

This full-time PCB Design Engineer role focuses on the design, layout, analysis, and documentation of complex multilayer printed circuit boards for aerospace and space-based applications. You will independently execute advanced RF and HDI board layouts, collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams, and contribute directly to the development of high-reliability, mission-critical electronics. The position emphasizes RF circuitry, High-Density Interconnect (HDI) technologies, signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability while ensuring high performance and quality in demanding environments.

• Design and develop complex multilayer PCB layouts for aerospace, communications, sensing, and embedded systems applications.
• Create PCB designs that incorporate RF, microwave, high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and power distribution circuitry.
• Develop HDI PCB designs featuring blind and buried vias, via-in-pad structures, microvias, controlled impedance routing, and dense component placement.
• Define and refine board stack-ups in collaboration with fabrication vendors and electrical engineering teams.
• Support schematic capture reviews and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT) recommendations.
• Conduct signal integrity and power integrity analysis to ensure high-performance operation across RF and high-speed digital interfaces.
• Optimize PCB layouts for EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Generate complete fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing documentation packages for production release.
• Coordinate directly with PCB fabrication and assembly suppliers to resolve technical issues and support production readiness.
• Participate in formal and informal design reviews and support engineering change processes throughout the product lifecycle.
• Support prototype builds, including bring-up, troubleshooting, and root cause investigations for layout-related issues.
• Contribute to design verification efforts to ensure boards meet electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.
• Ensure PCB designs comply with applicable aerospace, IPC, and high-reliability quality standards.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
• At least 3 years of PCB design and layout experience.
• Proficiency with advanced PCB design tools, including Altium Designer.
• Experience designing multilayer PCBs, with 8 or more layers preferred.
• Hands-on experience with HDI technologies such as blind and buried vias, microvias, via-in-pad, sequential lamination, and fine-pitch BGAs.
• Experience supporting RF and microwave designs operating from MHz through multi-GHz frequency ranges.
• Understanding of controlled impedance routing practices for RF and high-speed digital interfaces.
• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces such as DDR3/DDR4, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, and SerDes architectures.
• Knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes and their impact on layout decisions.
• Familiarity with IPC standards including IPC-2221, IPC-7351, and IPC-A-610.
• Ability to interpret complex schematics and collaborate effectively with hardware, FPGA, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.
• Ability to perform or support signal integrity and power integrity analysis.
• Ability to optimize layouts for EMI/EMC, thermal performance, and reliability.
• Eligibility to work on export-controlled projects as a U.S. Person.

• Experience with additional PCB design toolchains such as Cadence Allegro/OrCAD.
• Experience with Siemens Xpedition (Mentor Graphics) is preferred.
• Experience supporting space, aerospace, defense, satellite, launch vehicle, or other high-reliability electronics programs.
• Working knowledge of RF front ends, antenna systems, GNSS, telemetry, communications, radar, or electronic warfare systems.
• Experience with RF shielding techniques and EMI/EMC mitigation strategies.
• Familiarity with thermal analysis methods as they relate to PCB layout and component placement.
• Experience using power integrity and signal integrity tools to validate PCB designs.
• Familiarity with IPC Class 3 requirements and mission-critical hardware design practices.
• Experience transitioning products from prototype through full-rate production.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach to supporting prototype builds and design verification.

You will work in a highly collaborative engineering environment focused on advanced aerospace and spaceflight hardware. The technical environment includes RF and microwave electronics, HDI PCB technologies, high-speed digital design, controlled impedance routing, FPGA-based systems, embedded processors and SoCs, and satellite and spaceflight hardware. Projects emphasize signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, and IPC Class 3 electronics. The role is full-time and based in Cape Canaveral, FL, where you will interact closely with electrical, FPGA, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering teams as well as PCB fabrication and assembly partners to bring complex, high-reliability designs from concept through production.
