Description

Responsibilities

• Own the creation, maintenance, and standardization of PCB component libraries (symbols, footprints, 3D models, and metadata) for avionics hardware
• Ensure libraries are accurate, manufacturable, and compliant with IPC Class 2/3 standards
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to translate schematic and layout into reliable, reusable library components
• Review new component requests and validate footprints, 3D models, pin assignments and layout constraints
• Mentor engineers on library best practices, IPC standards, and DFM considerations
• Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure library and design alignment

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in PCB design, component management, or electronics hardware development
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or comparable practical experience
• Strong proficiency in Altium (preferred) or equivalent professional PCB design tools
• Experience managing component libraries, including symbols, footprints, 3D models, and metadata
• Solid understanding of high density, multilayer PCB design practices
• Knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly processes, materials, and
  manufacturing constraints
• Ability to work effectively in cross functional engineering teams and
  communicate across disciplines

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Familiarity with boards containing microcontrollers, FPGAs, high speed interfaces, RF/mixed signal circuits, or power management
• Knowledge of IPC industry standards
• Familiarity with signal and power integrity concepts
• Experience with high reliability requirements
• Ability to mentor engineers and improve overall library and design quality
• Experience in a startup or agile development environment
