You will work closely with RF and electrical engineers, translating their designs into accurate, manufacturable board layouts.

This position prioritizes strong drafting and layout skills with RF/power IC experience over deep RF circuit design or electrical engineering theory. Successful candidates are detail-oriented, self-motivated, and effective at supporting multiple concurrent board efforts. Responsibilities: Perform schematic capture support and detailed multi-layer PCB layout/drafting for RF and power boards containing RF and power Integrated Circuits.

Create, maintain, and manage component libraries and footprints specifically for RF and power ICs. Execute component placement, routing, and layout updates while applying basic RF isolation, controlled-impedance, grounding, and power-distribution practices as directed by engineers. Generate complete design packages including Gerbers, BOMs, assembly drawings, and fabrication documentation.

Collaborate daily with RF and electrical engineers to incorporate design changes and ensure layouts meet mechanical and electrical constraints. Support prototype fabrication, assembly reviews, and basic board bring-up activities. Review junior drafter's work for consistency, accuracy, and adherence to design rules and standards.

Maintain configuration-controlled drawing packages and support design documentation. Qualifications: Required: Associate's degree in Electronics, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or related field and a minimum of 7 years of PCB drafting/layout experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience). Demonstrated experience performing PCB layout and drafting on boards that include RF and/or power Integrated Circuits.

Strong proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for schematic capture and PCB layout (e.g., Altium Designer, Siemens PADS, OrCAD, or equivalent). Experience creating and maintaining component libraries and accurate footprints for ICs. Familiarity with multi-layer board construction, basic RF layout practices (isolation, shielding, impedance), and power distribution layout considerations

Ability to work effectively in a hands-on prototyping and support environment. Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication skills. U.S

Citizenship required; must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance. Desired: Direct experience laying out boards containing RF front-end, amplifier, mixer, or power-management ICs. Experience with design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and interaction with board fabrication/assembly houses.

Prior experience mentoring or reviewing the work of junior draftsmen/layout technicians. Familiarity with IPC standards related to PCB design and documentation. Active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.
