PCB Design Engineer

Katalyst Healthcares and Life Sciences, Beverly, MA, United States

Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop PCB layouts for complex electronic systems, ensuring optimal performance, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to develop and refine schematic designs and component selection.
  • Use industry-standard PCB design software (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence, Eagle, or similar) to create and optimize designs.
  • Create and maintain detailed documentation, including design schematics, layout files, and BOM (bill of materials).
  • Work closely with fabrication and assembly teams to ensure the manufacturability of the PCB designs, including selecting appropriate materials and technologies.
  • Perform signal integrity analysis and impedance matching to ensure high-speed designs meet performance requirements.
  • ssist in the development of assembly processes and participate in failure analysis of PCB-related issues.
  • Stay up to date with new PCB technologies, design tools, and industry trends to incorporate best practices into designs.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Electronics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven experience in PCB design, including high-speed digital and analog circuit designs.
  • Proficiency with PCB design software such as Altium Designer, Cadence, Eagle, or similar tools.
  • Strong understanding of PCB fabrication, assembly processes, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
  • Knowledge of signal integrity, impedance control, and thermal management techniques.
  • Experience with creating and maintaining detailed documentation (e.g., schematics, layout files, BOM).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve design and manufacturing issues.
  • bility to work independently and as part of a collaborative team in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to interact with internal teams and external suppliers.
  • Experience with FPGA-based designs or power electronics.
