- Translate schematic intent into layouts that meet RF performance requirements, including connector launches, transitions, filtering, and protection circuitry placement
- Partner with RF design, electrical, antenna, mixed-signal, mechanical, and test engineers to develop layout constraints, run reviews, and de-risk first-pass success
- Drive DFM/DFT considerations with fabrication and assembly partners, including documentation and release artifacts

- Comfort with Altium Designer for constraint-driven layout and clean manufacturing outputs; experience with Allegro and/or OrCAD is a plus
- Experience developing PCB stack-ups and layout constraints for high-frequency, high-performance electronics
- A strong intuition for layout-driven RF behavior, including coupling, return paths, leakage, spurious paths, and stability risks
- Experience working closely with RF design engineers to translate schematic intent into layouts that work on the first spin
- Experience with manufacturing release, DFM/DFT considerations, and collaborating with fabrication and assembly partners
- Experience supporting lab bring-up and RF characterization alongside design and test engineers (e.g., helping troubleshoot issues seen on VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and in system testing)
- Experience with EM and RF analysis workflows for layout validation (e.g., HFSS, CST, ADS Momentum) is a plus
