Job Description

SEL is seeking a PCB Designer to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment designing printed circuit boards for high-reliability applications. In this role, you will contribute to the full PCB design lifecycle, partnering closely with engineers to create manufacturable, testable, and robust designs that meet demanding performance and quality requirements.

If you are an innovative, detail-oriented designer who thrives on solving complex layout challenges and delivering high-quality designs, this position is for you.

As a PCB Designer, a typical day might include the following:

• Design and develop PCB layouts from schematics under the mentorship of experienced Designers and Engineers.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to translate schematic intent into reliable PCB designs.
• Schedule and lead design review meetings for assigned projects, incorporating feedback and driving design improvements.
• Apply engineering change orders (ECOs) to PCB layouts and associated documentation.
• Perform component placement, routing, and design rule implementation with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability.
• Perform Layout based simulations.
• Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers, drawings, BOMs) to support manufacturing.
• Support PCB fabrication, assembly, and test by working with internal teams and external vendors to resolve design issues.
• Adhere to and help maintain PCB design standards and IPC guidelines.

This job might be for you if:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering discipline, OR equivalent professional experience
• Experience with CAD tools (such as Allegro, Xpedition, Altium, Solidworks, or similar CAD platforms).
• Experience creating and managing ECAD libraries (symbols, footprints, and components).
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple designs and deadlines.
• Value to provide unmatched customer service.

What Sets This Role Apart:

• Opportunity to work on complex, high variety, high-reliability products.
