• Design and develop printed circuit boards (PCBs) for electronic products, ensuring compliance with industry standards and specifications.
• Work closely with internal Boeing and external customers to gather and define design requirements, ensuring that their needs and expectations are met throughout the design process.
• Specify the stack-up, dimensions and the desired electrical characteristics of the circuit board, part selection, design tradeoff analysis, and the final assembly of the Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA).
• Collaborate with program management to develop project schedules, estimates, and resource allocation for PCB design projects.
• Utilize PCB design software (e.g., Siemens Xpedition) to create schematics and perform analysis of layouts.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define design requirements and specifications.
• Perform design reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve PCB designs.
• Conduct signal integrity analysis and thermal analysis (Siemens Hyperlynx) to ensure optimal performance of PCB designs.
• Work with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective.
• Create and maintain detailed documentation for PCB designs, including design files, assembly instructions, and test plans.
• Support prototype assembly and testing, troubleshooting any issues that arise during the process.
• Stay updated on industry trends, tools, and technologies related to PCB design and manufacturing.
• Support Sustaining Engineering efforts on existing Boeing PCB and system-level products.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship as a condition of employment.
