PCB Designer

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.
