Job Description: Supplier Call Notes:12 years of experience, broad design skills, experience with all the design types listed in JDFast paced production environmentDesigns are very complex.Ideally looking for a self-starter, strong work ethic, able to work well with others, strong communications skillsMay work with India team on a shared designOnsite initially while getting established and then hybridDont want engineers, prefer or AS.
Top 3-5 Required Skills (These are not preferred skills. If the candidate does not have these require skills, they will be rejected completely)1. Printed Circuit Board design or layout.2. Design for Manufacturing (DFA) and/or Design for Assembly DFA)3. Constraints management (indicates understanding of mechanical and electrical parameters and how they must be managed in the design process)
Technologies: that this person must have to perform the required job duties (These are not preferred technologies If they do not have these technologies they will be rejected completely)1. Siemens /Mentor Graphics Expedition or VX layout CAD tool (is strongly preferred).2. The following alternative CAD tools would be considered but imply a substantial training burden for us: Cadence Allegro, Pads PCB, Altium, Pantheon.
Key Words: Any key words, job titles or competitors that our suppliers can be on the lookout for?Helpful keywords: PCB or Printed Circuit Board, RF, Analog, Mixed signal, power management, DDR 2,3,4,or 5 , USB, PCI, PCIE, SERDES, Cardbus, I2C, Bluetooth, WIFI, Ethernet, M.2, Signal integrity, Power integrity, IPC, CAD, CAM, Valor Genesis, Valor Enterprise, Cam350, Gerber viewer, Pro-E, Solid works, Windchill, AutoCad, Hyperlynx DRC, Schedule, Performance, EMI, EMC, Sense lines, Single Ended, Differential, Diff Pair, Shielding, Thermal, Creepage, Clearance,
UNHELPFUL KEYWORDS: FPGA programming, VHDL, VERILOG, microprocessor programming, firmware, SPICE, Mask Layout,
Principal Duties & Responsibilities no standard job description textThe successful candidate will operate as a member of the Corporate Engineering unit, PWB CAD department,and will be able to provide PWB design solutions for a variety of new 5G complex designs across multiplebusiness units (Mobile, Compute, IOT, Infrastructure, Automotive, Test Equipment).
For example:Product Test Engineering (PTE) designs - (UFLEX/IFLEX Probe cards, 93K DIB, Bench boardsand Daughter Cards, Socketed and Solder down, HTOL, etc.) with multiple DUT sites up to 32X.Emulator designs - large/high density digital designs having high layer counts (24-34 layers) and containing severalFPGA's (> 1500 pins) along with very high-speed digital signals.Reference Mobile & Compute designs - 'form factor accurate' (FFA) test platform high volume circuit boards. These boards require mastery in digitalprocessors, RF and radio circuits as well as power control devices. Experience with micro-vias (stacked),sequential lamination stack-ups and design rules using .5mm pitch and smaller packages.Responsibilities:Include working with US and India teams to provide PWB design solutions for high performance electronicassemblies for Mobile, Modem and IOT. Specific tasks include daily use of PWB CAD design software toperform placement and routing activities to meet mechanical and electrical design constraints and requirements.Exchange of electronic file transfers to/from mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure compliance to fit,form and function as well as power and signal integrity requirements. Creating fabrication and assemblydrawings and working with internal teams and external suppliers to support PWB fabrication and assembly. Thecandidate will interface with internal staff and outside partners in the fast-paced execution of a variety of multi-disciplined projects.
Leadership skills are expected for managing the activities and performance of several PWB designers andoutside consultants. Also to provide project leadership for scoping requirements, staffing efforts, schedules, andto ensure successful completion of quality board layouts.
The candidate is expected to have proficiency on Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, PADS and/or Cadence Allegro PWBdesign software and is expected to have multiple years of experience in developing PWB design solutions for avariety of design types and working with internal teams and external suppliers to support PWB fabrication andassembly.
Minimum Qualifications12+ years actively involved in PWB design for high-density electronics packaging.3+ years experience in a PWB design role designing consumer-grade mobile products utilizinglatest generation processor chips.
Preferred QualificationsDesign for Manufacture (DFM) analysis experience utilizing Valor and/or CAM350 tools.Design experience: RF, Analog, High-speed digital circuits - DDR2, 3 & 4, HDMI, PCIe, SATA,MIPI, USB 2,3.x, GigE, ATE Platforms: 93K, uFlex and iFlex.Expected to possess expert understanding and demonstrated application of PWB design principles,practices and standards.Able to perform complex and difficult PWB design tasks requiring extensive skill and knowledge offabrication and assembly process capabilities and limitations.Develops solutions to a variety of complex problems and proposes PWB design trade-offs to theengineering design team for resolution and implementation.Determine PWB design trade-offs necessary to meet design requirements and produce high qualitycost effective PWBs that meet schedule objectives.Understands the requirements driving PWB technology and process trends and their application toQualcomm designs.Maintain technical coordination with Engineering and Manufacturing. Resolve PWB design issueswith fabrication and assembly vendors.Participate and provide input into process improvement, PWB and DFM checklists and guidelines.Participates in determining objectives of assignment and plans, schedules and arranges ownactivities in accomplishing objectives.Experience working with on-board EMI shielding cans.Experience with IDF/EMN file exchange between mechanical and HW teams.Understands project goals and individual contribution toward those goals.Effectively communicates with project peers and engineering personnel via e-mail, web meetings,and instant messaging including status reports and illustrative presentation slides.Interact and collaborate with other internal PWB designers for optimal product developmentprocesses and schedule execution.Effectively multitasks and meets aggressive schedules in a dynamic environment.Prepare and deliver design reviews to project team.Possess excellent verbal and written communication skillsLeadership skills to help direct, prioritize, and clearly set project tasks per schedule. Communicatemilestones and directions to outside team members.
