  • Define component placement strategies, routing architecture, constraint sets, and layer stackups with minimal direction
  • Own PCB layout execution from early architectural trade studies through fabrication and assembly release
  • Provide expert input on signal integrity, power integrity, EMI and EMC risk mitigation, and layout tradeoffs
  • Serve as the technical escalation point for complex layout challenges, design issues, yield concerns, and corrective actions
  • Lead and participate in schematic, placement, routing, and release design reviews across programs
  • Define, maintain, and improve PCB design standards, constraints, and workflows
  • Improve design quality, consistency, and execution speed across the PCB team
  • Provide architecture level feedback to electrical, RF, mechanical, manufacturing, thermal, and test engineers
  • Work directly with fabrication and assembly partners to address advanced technology, manufacturability, and yield
  • Mentor junior and senior PCB designers through hands on guidance, reviews, and technical coaching
  • Support prototype build, debug, and iteration efforts in collaboration with hardware and test teams
