Lead PCB Design Engineer

Job Overview

At TE Connectivity, our R&D and Product Development Engineering teams transform innovative ideas into industry-leading products. We are seeking an experienced PCB Design Engineer to support the development of high-performance electronic products from concept through manufacturing. In this role, you will be responsible for the complete PCB design lifecycle, from schematic interpretation and stack-up definition to PCB layout, manufacturing release, and prototype support. You will work closely with global engineering teams to develop robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective designs while ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices.

Responsibilities:

• Design high-speed PCBs from schematic handoff through manufacturing release.
• Develop PCB stack-ups, placement strategies, and routing solutions, and perform pre-layout feasibility analysis.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams to deliver robust and manufacturable PCB layouts.
• Generate fabrication, assembly, and release documentation.
• Support prototype builds and coordinate with PCB fabrication and assembly suppliers.
• Create and maintain PCB libraries and footprints in compliance with IPC standards.

Candidate Desired Profile:

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, or related Engineering discipline.
• Proven experience in PCB design, manufacturing, and assembly.
• Strong expertise in multilayer PCB layout, stack-up design, and high-speed PCB development.
• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes, SMT/PTH technologies, IPC standards, and fabrication requirements.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, and AutoCAD.
• Ability to independently deliver PCB designs from concept through Gerber release and support supplier engineering queries.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-speed digital, RF, or mixed-signal PCB designs.
• Knowledge of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) principles.
• Familiarity with CAM350, PDMLink, and ECR/ECN processes.
• Experience with connectors, cable assemblies, and PCB manufacturing optimization.
• Altium or Allegro scripting and automation experience is a plus.
