Epirus is one of the fastest growing, silicon valley-backed engineering companies in the country. Our team combines the best of both worlds: seasoned aerospace engineering talent and Special Operations combat veterans to address 21st century threats. We embrace the best practices from Silicon Valley innovation, such as agile development. We also deliver breakthroughs in high-power microwave technology for offensive and defensive EMP, and artificial intelligence for enhanced targeting capabilities. 

 Job objective:  

This role on the PCB Design Team will work closely with the Product Design Engineering Teams build the next generation of Epirus Products.  PCB Layout Engineers are responsible for the design capture, layout and maintenance of the PCB design database.  Layout Engineers will work with design engineers on placement, routing, and packaging constraints.  This role will also work to refine company practices to ensure high quality designs and low risk manufacturability.   

Duties 

• Work with Engineering Teams to define layer stackup and routing feasibility 
• Perform routing of Digital, Analog, Power and RF signals 
• Create and Maintain PCB Component Footprint Library 
• Produce and Release design documentation for Fabrication and Assembly 
• Collaborate with Product Design teams and PCB Vendors to update and improve design rules and best practices 

• Work with PCB Vendors to resolve issues during fabrication process 
• Work with Packaging Engineers on design placement and form factor 

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other technical or science discipline 
• 5+ Years of PCB Layout experience with Altium Designer in one or all of the following areas 

• Mixed Signal Analog/Digital Designs 
• RF Circuits (transmission lines, impedance controlled traces/structures) 
• Power Electronics (power supplies, DC-DC converters, power traces) 
• High Speed Digital/SERDES routing 
• BGA/Fine Pitch and High Density Interconnect (FPGA, DRAM and CPU) 

• Demonstrated understanding of design for manufacturability, assembly, and test 
• Familiar with Altium Concord Design Management System 
• US Citizen (future security clearance may be required) 

Desired Qualifications 

• Experience with import/export of designs from PADS, Xpedition, ADS, HFSS or other PCB Software
