Altium PCB Design Contractor

Description:

Integrity Engineering & Design Solutions is seeking 3-4 experienced Altium PCB designers to support aerospace PCB and PCBA development. The selected candidates will perform PCB layout and Altium library development and management while collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams to produce accurate, release-ready design packages.

This is a 1099 contract position that will last 5+ months.

Requirements:

Required Qualification

• 5+ years of relevant professional PCB Design experience.
• Proficiency with Altium, including a minimum of 2+ years of experience.
• Experience designing high-speed signal-integrity circuitry.
• Experience creating and managing Altium library components, including schematic symbols, footprints, and 3D models.
• Teamcenter experience.
• Must be a U.S. citizen due to export-control eligibility requirements.
• Ability to work independently and meet project deadlines.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Perform PCBA component placement and routing from approved schematics, layout constraints, stackups, and impedance profiles, and provide input on critical design criteria.
• Create and manage Altium library components, including schematic symbols, footprints, and 3D models.
• Work in the customer-specified Altium Designer version, Altium 365 workspace, and designated repositories.
• Participate in schematic and layout reviews, verify that design packages are sufficient before layout begins, and implement review feedback.
• Generate fabrication and assembly drawings, Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOM, pick-and-place/centroid data, 3D models (if needed), analysis reports, and manufacturing/test documentation.
• Produce a clean Altium DRC report with zero critical violations against the board fabricator's capabilities.
• Maintain accurate documentation, revision control, and baselined design files; generate release packages in Teamcenter.
• Support board-fabricator technical questions during prototype fabrication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, defense, and FAA environments.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and CID certification.
• Experience supporting high-reliability or regulated products.
• Signal-integrity analysis capability using HyperLynx, SIwave, or an approved equivalent.

Work Resources and Selection Conditions

• The company will provide the laptop, required software, and network access.
• A background check will be performed after selection of the preferred candidate.
