The Company

AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale — enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

The Role

The PCB Designer will own the full design-to-release cycle (placement, routing, stackups, libraries, fab/assembly docs) in Altium, focusing on signal integrity, grounding, and RF/microwave expertise. You will work with RF and Electrical Engineers to determine manufacturability outcomes on demanding boards.

 

Responsibilities

  • Own PCB placement, routing, review, and manufacturing release.

  • Design multilayer RF, mixed-signal, high-speed digital, and power boards.

  • Define stackups, controlled impedances, routing constraints, and via structures.

  • Create and maintain Altium symbols, footprints, and component libraries.

  • Generate fabrication and assembly documentation.

  • Work with fabricators and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM and production issues.

Required Skills

  • 3+ years of professional PCB layout experience.

  • Strong proficiency with Altium Designer.

  • Expert in DFM/DFA/DFT principles PCB fabrication and SMT assembly.

  • Experience with RF and microwave layouts, including controlled-impedance transmission lines, matching networks, RF isolation, ground stitching, via fencing, and shielding.

  • Understanding of grounding, return paths, signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and power distribution.

  • Ability to read schematics, datasheets, and mechanical drawings.

Desired Skills

  • Experience with FPGA or RFSoC systems, DDR memory, PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204, high-speed SerDes, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and precision clock distribution.

  • Experience with HDI, microvias, via-in-pad, or backdrilling.

  • Experience with Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx, Sigrity, or similar PCB analysis tools.

  • Experience with Altium 365, managed libraries, component lifecycle management, release workflows, and version control.

  • Aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability electronics experience.

  • Understanding of IPC Class 3 requirements.

 

Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this role is $100,000-$140,000 per year, plus equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate for this position at the time of posting. The final base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, skills, and market considerations. In addition to base salary, total compensation includes an equity grant and our full benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision), HSA's and 401K program.

 

Export Control Requirements

To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
