Job Description

As posted by the hiring company

Job Overview:

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will take ownership of medium-to-complex PCB layouts, working on cutting-edge projects involving high-speed digital, high-power analog, and RF/microwave technologies.  You’ll collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers, and draw on your engineering experience and attention to detail, to deliver reliable, high-quality boards that meet demanding performance and reliability standards.

IN THIS ROLE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE: 

  • Design and route medium-to-complex PCB layouts using core design tools, applying Emerson PCB design best practices, manufacturing guidelines, and engineering input.
  • Lead assigned PCB designs through the New Product Development process - from constraint setup, stack-up definition, and placement/routing through design reviews, DFM/DFT checks, and release.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to incorporate requirements while exercising judgement on signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, and overall performance tradeoffs.
  • Acquire and apply knowledge of signal and power integrity best practices; support debugging with measurement and analyzer tools as needed.
  • Become self-sufficient in major commercial PCB tools while enthusiastically evaluating and adopting new technologies, techniques, and processes.
  • Accommodate occasional evening meetings for training, mentorship, collaboration, and design review, considering the global nature of Emerson’s operations.

 

WHO YOU ARE: An individual with strong attention to detail and the ability to learn and adapt.  We hope to hire you for a career, not just a job. The tools and techniques will change over time; your flexibility to adapt and adjust while maintaining rigorous, self-driven attention to detail sets the foundation for long-term success.
 

FOR THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED: 

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering, Physics, math, or similar hard or applied science.
  • 0 - 2+ years of PCB layout or related experience.  
  • Familiarity with one or more of: high-speed/high-density digital, high-power/high-current analog, or RF/microwave hardware design and layout practices.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future
    • Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire. 

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS THAT SET YOU APART: 

  • Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools (e.g. Hyperlynx or Hyperlynx DRC).
  • Hands-on experience with high-speed/high-density digital and/or high-power/high-current analog layout.
  • Experience in one or more commercial layout platform (e.g. Siemens Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, Altium).
