Original job description

PCB Layout Design Engineer (Xpedition)

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Schedule: 100% On-Site (9/80 Schedule)

Employment Type: Contract

Compensation: $75-$85/hour W2

Clearance Required: Active Top Secret Clearance

About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced PCB Layout Design Engineer to support the development of advanced, high-reliability electronic hardware for mission-critical applications.

This position is focused on PCB layout and physical board design rather than traditional circuit design or schematic development. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience using Xpedition and a strong background designing complex, multi-layer printed circuit boards for highly regulated environments.

While this opportunity is initially structured as a 26-week contract, there may be potential for contract extensions and/or long-term opportunities based on business needs and individual performance. While no guarantees can be made, this is often the case with successful consultants in similar engagements.

Responsibilities

Execute placement and routing of complex, high-density, multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs)
Design layouts supporting high-speed digital, RF, mixed-signal, and power circuitry
Interpret electrical schematics, design constraints, and mechanical requirements to develop optimized PCB layouts
Generate complete PCB and circuit card assembly (CCA) fabrication and assembly documentation packages
Create artwork, fabrication notes, manufacturing outputs, drawings, and production release documentation
Apply IPC standards and high-reliability design practices throughout the development process
Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and signal integrity engineering teams
Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT) reviews
Partner with fabrication and assembly vendors to ensure manufacturability and product quality
Support PCB library management, including symbols, footprints, and reusable design elements
Own PCB layout activities from concept through fabrication release
Lead advanced PCB layout efforts involving HDI technologies, microvias, via-in-pad, backdrilling, and specialized substrate materials

Required Qualifications

Active Top Secret Clearance
Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree with 6+ years, or PhD with 4+ years
Minimum 8 years of PCB layout experience using Xpedition
Experience designing multi-layer, high-density PCB assemblies
Experience with high-speed digital, RF, and/or mixed-signal board layouts
Experience collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams
Working knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes
Experience creating PCB and CCA manufacturing documentation packages
Familiarity with IPC design and fabrication standards
Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
Ability to work on-site full-time in Cincinnati, Ohio

Preferred Qualifications

Defense, aerospace, military, intelligence, or spaceflight hardware experience
Experience supporting programs with stringent reliability, documentation, and traceability requirements
Expertise designing advanced high-density, multi-layer boards combining RF, high-speed digital, and power circuitry
Knowledge of PCB process workflows and library management
Experience creating and managing PCB symbols, footprints, and reusable design elements
Ability to translate electrical and mechanical requirements into optimized physical board layouts
Familiarity with high-reliability standards such as IPC Class 3/3A, MIL-STD-883, and similar aerospace or defense requirements
Experience with:
HDI (High Density Interconnect)
Microvias
Via-in-pad
Backdrilling
Signal integrity considerations
Power integrity considerations
Thermal management practices

Important Note

This position is specifically seeking candidates who have owned the PCB layout process, including component placement, routing, board implementation, fabrication documentation, and production release. Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on circuit design, schematic capture, component selection, simulation, or hardware architecture without significant PCB layout ownership may not be the best fit for this opportunity. If you have extensive Xpedition experience and enjoy working on advanced, high-reliability electronic hardware in a collaborative engineering environment, we encourage you to apply. If you do not meet the exact years-of-experience requirement but feel your experience aligns strongly with the responsibilities and qualifications outlined above, we still encourage you to apply. Every resume will be reviewed, and relevant experience will be carefully considered.
