At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are looking to add a Master PCB Designer (RF) to our team. If you are excited about working in a startup environment, have a strong work ethic, and are passionate about cutting-edge electronics, we would like to hear from you.

In this position, you will perform PCB design for modern digital, analog, and power electronics circuits for ground, airborne, and space applications. Candidates should be comfortable with a varied workflow that may involve multitasking between different PCB designs, schematic symbol review, PCB footprint creation, library management, design file release into product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, and production support. This position will work closely with analog and power electronics engineers, mechanical and manufacturing engineers to implement PCB designs for quick prototyping and volume production that meet design for manufacturability (DFM), design for cost (DFC), and design for testability (DFT).

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Own PCB designs for power supply modules and mixed-signal cards from beginning to end, including conducting design reviews for component placement, routing, and fabrication file reviews for DFM, DFC, and DFT.

Perform complex digital, analog and power electronics PCB design in Altium Designer, working closely with power electronics, manufacturing, and mechanical design engineers.

Generate mechanical 3D models and work with mechanical engineers to ensure compliance with mechanical and environmental requirements.

Generate and release Assembly Drawings, Fabrication Drawings, and PCB fabrication files (Gerbers, ODB++).

Review schematic symbols and generate IPC compliant PCB component footprints.

Participate in full product lifecycle development from board design to release into manufacturing and production support.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Associate’s degree in Electronics Engineering Technology or similar.

10 years of experience as a PCB Designer.

Strong experience with Altium Designer.

Strong experience with PCB design with a focus on digital and power electronics. This includes understanding of critical component placement and routing for analog and power electronics circuits that include power converters, gate driver, EMI filter, analog and digital controllers.

Experience with shielding and PCB design to mitigate EMI and crosstalk.

Knowledge of current density requirements for high current circuits, including strong understanding of via selection and power/ground plane design to meet signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management.

Experience with high-reliability, aerospace, and/or IPC Class 3 designs.

Strong experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), design for cost (DFC), and design for testability (DFT).

Strong organizational skills.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills. Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans.

CesiumAstro is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected Veteran Status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
