Staff Electrical Engineer - PCB Layout & Component Library Support

What You Will Do

• Independently design and develop PCB layouts and related ECAD outputs for medical device components, sub-systems, prototypes and production releases.
• Translate schematics, design inputs and system constraints into manufacturable PCB/PCBA designs using Altium Designer, OrCAD/Allegro and applicable legacy ECAD platforms.
• Optimise PCB designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal performance, mechanical fit and supplier capability.
• Create, review and maintain controlled ECAD library content, including schematic symbols, footprints, component models and associated documentation.
• Generate and review PCB fabrication and assembly packages, including Gerber and ODB++ files, drawings, BOM outputs, release packages and engineering change documentation.
• Lead advanced problem solving and root cause analysis related to PCB design, manufacturing, yield, quality, reliability and component issues.
• Perform component engineering activities, including component selection, BOM reviews, lifecycle and obsolescence assessments, alternate sourcing and supply-chain support.
• Develop and improve ECAD design guidelines, library governance, review processes, databases and tools, including DFM/DFT, manufacturing-readiness, automation and emerging AI-assisted workflows.
• Collaborate across Electrical Engineering, R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Advanced Operations and external manufacturing partners, providing technical leadership and mentoring others in ECAD and PCB design best practices.
• What You Need (Required Qualifications)
• Bachelor's degree in EE or related discipline & 4+ years of work experience.
• Demonstrated experience in PCB layout design, ECAD component library development, PCB/PCBA documentation, component engineering, or related electrical CAD work.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Understanding of ECAD PCB layout, component libraries, PCB/PCBA manufacturing methods, and common failure modes.
• Ability to translate schematics, design inputs, and system constraints into manufacturable PCB/PCBA layout outputs.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer and OrCAD/Allegro; familiarity with legacy ECAD platforms preferred.
• Working knowledge of controlled ECAD documentation, library governance, and engineering change/release processes.
• Practical understanding of DFM/DFT, PCB manufacturing-readiness, component lifecycle, BOM review, and obsolescence risk.
• Ability to review PCB/PCBA designs for manufacturability, testability, EMI/EMC, thermal performance, mechanical fit, and system-level interactions.
• Experience with Valor, Silicon Expert, or equivalent PCB analysis and component lifecycle tools preferred.
• $89,300 - $148,800 USD Annual
