💼 About This Role

You'll produce printed circuit board designs for Vast's next-generation space stations. You'll collaborate with vendors and internal teams to ensure boards meet design requirements and DFM guidelines. This role offers the opportunity to refine team processes and train team members in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Design layout of custom printed circuit boards using IPC standards.
• Work with vendors to determine stack-up, routing feasibility, and DFM guidelines.
• Generate required artworks and drawings for fabrication and assembly.
• Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library standards.

📋 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field with 4+ years experience or 8+ years layout experience.
• Expert knowledge of Altium Designer CAD tool.
• High-speed, impedance-controlled stack-up and multi-layer board layout design.
• CID or CID+ certification.

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with PCB library management and component generation.
• Expertise in IPC 2221A, IPC 6012 Class 3, and IPC 7351.
• Experience with high-density (16+ layers) digital, power, flex, or RF circuits.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏥 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents.
• 🏖️ 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff with cash-out option.
• 🍽️ Free snacks, drip coffee, barista, cold drinks, and dinner; subsidized lunch.
• 📈 Equity and 401(k) retirement plan.
• 🧘 ClassPass credits and Spring Health mental healthcare.

🚩 Heads Up

• Role title and responsibilities indicate a PCB Manager/Engineer role, but years of experience requirement is 4+ years for Engineer II, which is mid-level, while the listing also mentions Senior PCB Design Engineer range; possible mismatch.
• Travel up to 50% and willingness to work evenings/weekends for a PCB design role may indicate excessive demands.
• U.S. export control compliance requirement restricts applicants to U.S. persons, limiting talent pool.
