Job description

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.
