SR PCB Design Project Lead

SR PCB Design Project Lead

Location : On-Site in Melbourne, FL

Type : Full-time, Direct Hire

Domain : Advanced Electronics & Embedded Systems (Defense / Aerospace Adjacent)

About the Role

You'll serve as the foundational electrical engineering lead for an advanced hardware program in a mission-critical domain. As SR PCB Design Project Lead, you'll architect and drive the development of complex multi-layer, rigid-flex, and backplane PCBs that operate reliably in demanding environments. You'll work cross-functionally with mechanical, embedded systems, firmware, and test teams to bring prototypes to field-ready systems - and you'll guide future team growth. This is a rare chance to shape the hardware roadmap from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, schematic, and PCB layout (multi-layer, rigid-flex, backplane) from concept through production.
• Derive electrical designs that satisfy system requirements, signal integrity, thermal, and manufacturability constraints.
• Integrate power management (switching, protection), analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit modules.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, RF, and test engineering to ensure system coherence.
• Oversee PCB assembly, bring-up, debug, and validation activities.
• Enforce EMI / EMC best practices, shielding, and grounding strategies.
• Mentor junior engineers and establish design standards, processes, and review practices.
• Serve as a technical authority and interface with suppliers and manufacturers.
