Electrical eCAD Printed Wiring Board Designer - Secret Clearance (Tucson)

We’re hiring a PCB Design Engineer to develop high-reliability circuit card assemblies (CCAs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs) for advanced aerospace and defense systems. In this role, you’ll work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to take designs from schematic capture through layout, routing, and manufacturing release.

You’ll play a key role in delivering complex rigid, flex, and rigid-flex PCB designs, making this an ideal opportunity for engineers who enjoy hands-on layout work, solving signal and manufacturability challenges, and working on mission-critical hardware.

Location: Tucson, AZ

Clearance: U.S. Citizenship required; Secret clearance Required

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop PCB layouts and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) from concept through manufacturing

• Perform schematic capture, component placement, routing, and constraint management

• Generate manufacturing outputs (Gerber, ODB++) and detailed PCB documentation

• Design rigid, flex, and rigid-flex boards for high-reliability applications

• Use tools such as Siemens Xpedition and BluePrint-PCB

• Support design updates, re-spins, ECOs, and process improvements

• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM)

• Apply design rules, signal integrity considerations, and production requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field

• 5+ years of experience in PCB design, layout, or hardware development

• Experience with PCB/CCA design and manufacturing principles

• Hands-on experience with layout of rigid, flex, or rigid-flex boards

• Active Secret security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Siemens Xpedition (Mentor Graphics) tool suite

• Experience with BluePrint-PCB for documentation

• Strong skills in schematic capture, routing, constraint management, and libraries

• Experience with Gerber/ODB++ outputs and manufacturing release processes

• Familiarity with DFM tools (Valor NPI, DRC tools)

• Experience with RF PCB layout and high-speed design considerations

• Background in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics
