* Use Altium Designer for all PCB layout work
Documentation & CAD
* Produce and maintain technical documentation, drawings, test procedures and design specifications
* Prepare fabrication and assembly documentation using CAD tools (SolidWorks)
* Support internal engineering and manufacturing teams with design queries
Problem Solving & Collaboration
* Identify and resolve issues throughout the PCB design cycle
* Work closely with electrical engineers to refine and define PCB requirements
* Provide input relating to manufacturability, stack-up, materials, DFM/DFX and design constraints
Ideal Experience & Background
* Proven experience as a PCB Design Engineer
* Strong background in Flex/Rigid-Flex layout design
* High proficiency with Altium Designer
* Knowledge of high-density PCB design, impedance control, high-speed signals and RF layouts
