Board Design Engineer
Designing PCBs that work first time and at scale
Board design engineer with ten years designing printed circuit boards for an electronics company in Atlanta. Takes boards from schematic through layout to working hardware — designing circuits, laying out PCBs, managing signal integrity and manufacturability, and bringing boards up in the lab. Designed a complex multilayer board that worked first time and went straight to production. Captures schematics, lays out multilayer PCBs, handles signal and power integrity, prepares manufacturing data, and debugs and brings up boards. Strong on both the circuit design and the layout discipline reliable hardware demands. Methodical, precise and good at catching problems before they reach the fab. Looking for a board-design or hardware-engineer role with a company building serious electronic hardware.
