Lead RF PCB Layout Engineer, Array Labs

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience
• Experience in PCB layout, fabrication, and release of RF and/or high-performance electronics
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills
• Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
• High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints

Desirable

• As a Lead RF PCB Layout Engineer, you will own the physical implementation of Array’s RF and microwave electronics in Altium, translating schematics and performance requirements into layouts that work on the first spin
• Your work will include component placement, controlled-impedance routing, stack-up definition, grounding and shielding strategy, connector and launch design, and isolation of sensitive RF and mixed-signal domains
• You will partner closely with RF design, electrical, antenna, mixed-signal, mechanical, and test engineers to drive layout constraints, reviews, and manufacturing releases
• The boards you ship will directly determine RF performance, stability, spurious behavior, and overall sensor reliability in the lab and on orbit
• Own RF PCB layout from initial placement through manufacturing release in Altium Designer
• Define and implement stack-ups, controlled-impedance routing, and RF grounding, shielding, and isolation strategies
• Translate schematic intent into layouts that meet RF performance requirements, including connector launches, transitions, filtering, and protection circuitry placement
• Partner with RF design, electrical, antenna, mixed-signal, mechanical, and test engineers to develop layout constraints, run reviews, and de-risk first-pass success
• Drive DFM/DFT considerations with fabrication and assembly partners, including documentation and release artifacts

• We will conduct interviews via Google Meet; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish
