PCB Layout Engineer

Summary

Precision Neuroscience is developing a next-generation brain-computer interface to address neurological conditions. The company is seeking a PCB Layout Engineer to convert electrical schematics and system requirements into manufacturable layouts for implantable electronics, while coordinating fabrication, assembly, and cross-functional engineering activities.

Responsibilities

• Translate electrical schematics and system requirements into manufacturable PCB layouts:
• Perform component placement for signal integrity, thermal performance, manufacturability, and mechanical and assembly constraints
• Route high-density analog, RF, high-speed, digital, and power signals according to design rules and best practices
• Generate fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing deliverables including Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, drill files, pick-and-place data, and assembly drawings
• Coordinate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors on stackup, material selection, tolerances, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) reviews
• Maintain PCB libraries including footprints, symbols, and 3D mechanical models
• Document layout guidelines, design decisions, and revision history

Skills

• Strong understanding of PCB layout fundamentals and multilayer board design:
• Ability to interpret schematics, mechanical drawings, and manufacturing documentation
• Solid understanding of PCB fabrication and assembly processes, tolerances, and limitations
• Experience with PCB stackup design, transmission lines, controlled impedance, and material properties
• Knowledge of IPC standards
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and regulatory considerations
• Experience with Altium Designer in ECAD/MCAD projects both with stand-alone and shared/ collaborative scope
• Experience generating manufacturing outputs and working with fabrication vendors
• Ability to manage multiple board revisions and configuration control processes
• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills. Attention to detail and strong organizational skills
• This position can be based in one of our offices or done fully remotely. We are unable to consider individuals who are not currently based in the US and legally authorized to work in the US
