Title: PCB Design Engineer                                           
Location: Onsite in Northridge, CA
Pay Scale: $70.00/hr – $80.00/hr
Duration: Long-Term/Ongoing Contract (yearly extensions and FTE conversion possible) 
Work Requirements: US Citizen

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a US Citizen.

About the Role:
We are seeking a PCB Design Engineer who can take full ownership of printed circuit board designs — from stackup through layout — with minimal input from electrical engineers. This is not just a tool-based layout role; we are looking for someone who combines strong PCB design skills with solid electrical engineering fundamentals.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end PCB design, including stackup definition, materials, and copper allocation.
• Design with proper signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability in mind.
• Calculate and apply correct trace impedance for both single-ended and differential signals.
• Select and implement appropriate via types (standard, blind/buried, microvias) based on design needs.
• Apply backdrilling techniques where needed to improve high-speed signal performance.
• Ensure minimum copper area and trace widths meet current-carrying requirements.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to ensure functional and reliable designs.
• Deliver production-ready PCB layouts and documentation.

Requirements:

• Proven experience designing complex, multi-layer PCBs from start to finish.
• Strong knowledge of PCB materials, stackups, and copper design.
• Experience with trace impedance calculation (single-ended & differential).
• Deep understanding of vias (construction, blind/buried, microvias) and backdrilling practices.
• Ability to design for current requirements (minimum copper area, trace width).
• Proficiency in modern PCB CAD tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Xpedition).
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work with minimal guidance.

Preferred:

• Experience with high-speed digital, RF, or aerospace/defense PCB design.
• Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes and DFM/DFT best practices.

Our benefits package includes:

• Comprehensive medical benefits
• Competitive pay
• 401(k) retirement plan
• …and much more!
