Summary

As a PCB Layout Designer you will be responsible for implementing PCBA layouts for systems such as motor controllers, vehicle control modules, and other custom hardware, based on schematics produced by your Senior Hardware Designer teammates. You will apply your knowledge of high-power routing best practices to ensure reliable low-noise operation of motor control circuits. You will work as part of a small team, participate in schematic reviews with Senior Hardware Designers, and implement those designs into working PCBAs. You will also be responsible for producing and maintaining design documentation, building Bills of Materials (BOMs) in the Arena Project Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, and supporting existing products throughout their lifecycles with replacement and alternate components.
