PCB Design Engineer

SAAZ Micro is seeking a talented PCB Design Engineer to design printed circuit board electronics for next-generation electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), and visible camera products used in aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, and scientific imaging.

The engineer will work closely with Product Engineering, FPGA, Digital IC, Mechanical, Software, and Systems Engineering teams to design, develop, integrate, and validate camera electronics from concept through production.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience designing complex multilayer PCBs with high-speed digital interfaces, precision analog circuitry, image sensors, FPGAs, power electronics, and EMI/EMC best practices.

• Design multilayer PCBs for high-performance imaging systems and camera electronics.
• Develop PCB layouts from schematics through manufacturing release.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to optimize component placement and routing.
• Design boards incorporating FPGAs, DDR3/DDR4/LPDDR memory, CMOS image sensors, ADCs/DACs, ARM processors, power supplies, and precision analog front ends.
• Perform high-speed signal integrity layout for interfaces including DDR, USB 3.x, PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, CoaXPress, MIPI CSI-2, and LVDS.
• Develop camera hardware platforms, including schematic capture and PCB layout for sensor interfaces, power regulation, timing control, and data transmission.
• Develop controlled-impedance stack-ups with PCB fabricators.
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC, thermal, manufacturability, and reliability requirements.
• Bring up and debug new hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
• Document designs and interface specifications and support hardware validation and production.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
