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.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong experience designing multi-layer, rigid-flex, or backplane PCBs using tools like Altium, KiCad, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in schematic capture, layout, and DFx (design for test, manufacturability).
  • Hands-on experience in PCB bring-up, debugging, and field validation.
  • Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, noise coupling, EMI mitigation.
  • Experience integrating analog, power, and digital domains.
  • Excellent cross-disciplinary collaboration, communication, and leadership in small teams.

    • Preferred / Differentiators

  • Experience with RF, wireless modules, or sensitive mixed-signal systems.
  • Prior work in ruggedized, aerospace, defense, or harsh environment hardware.
  • Familiarity with IPC class standards, advanced fabrication techniques, or rigid-flex stack-ups.
  • Experience managing suppliers, contract manufacturers, or PCB houses.

    • What Makes It Compelling

  • Ground-up hardware leadership in a high-stakes, mission-driven program.
  • Direct impact on system performance, reliability, and field success.
  • Opportunity for growth into senior technical or managerial roles.
  • Close collaboration with a multi-disciplinary, high-performance engineering team.
  • Exposure to challenging environments and cutting-edge designs.
