Position: PCB Design Engineer
Exp: 4 to 8 Years
Location / Industry: Electronic Components & Semiconductors
About the Role
At TE Connectivity, our R&D and Product Development Engineering teams bring cutting-edge concepts to life as industry-leading solutions. We are looking for an experienced PCB Design Engineer to drive the development of high-performance electronic products from initial concept to full-scale manufacturing.
In this role, you will own the entire PCB lifecycle—from schematic interpretation and stack-up definition to high-speed layout, fabrication release, and prototype support. Working alongside cross-functional global teams, you will ensure our designs are robust, cost-effective, manufacturable, and aligned with IPC standards.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End PCB Layout: Execute complete PCB designs from schematic handoff through final manufacturing release.
- Architecture & Feasibility: Define board stack-ups, placement strategies, and high-speed routing solutions; conduct pre-layout feasibility studies.
- Global Collaboration: Work seamlessly with international engineering teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and DFM/DFA-compliant designs.
- Documentation & Release: Produce complete manufacturing packages, including fabrication drawings, assembly files, and release documentation.
- Supplier & Prototype Support: Coordinate directly with fabrication/assembly vendors during prototype builds and resolve technical queries.
- Library Management: Build and maintain standardized PCB components and footprint libraries following IPC guidelines.
What We Are Looking For
Required Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field (B.E. / B.Tech).
- Technical Experience: Proven background in multi-layer PCB layout, high-speed board design, stack-up development, and assembly processes.
- Manufacturing Knowledge: In-depth understanding of SMT/PTH technologies, IPC standards, DFM/DFA principles, and fabrication workflows.
- EDA Tools: Expertise in Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, and AutoCAD.
- Execution & Ownership: Demonstrated ability to independently take designs from concept to Gerber release and handle technical supplier discussions.
- Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills with excellent teamwork and communication abilities.
Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points):
- Experience with High-Speed Digital, RF, or Mixed-Signal layout design.
- Understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with CAM350, Windchill/PDMLink, and ECO/ECN processes.
- Familiarity with connector systems, cable assemblies, and PCB yield optimization.
- Experience in Altium/Allegro scripting, SKILL, or design automation.
