Generate and revise drawings and release packages for PCBs and assemblies. Manage and maintain electronic component libraries in Altium Enterprise. Generate and review schematic symbols and footprints. Maintain templates for schematics, layouts, bills-of-materials (BOMs), and other documents. JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS An Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology or similar. 7 years of experience as a PCB Designer. Strong experience with Altium Designer. Strong understanding of the technical principles of PCB layout. Experience with high-reliability, aerospace, and/or IPC Class 3 designs. Experience with advanced PCB manufacturing techniques such as blind vias and microvias. Strong organizational skills. An eye for detail and commitment to excellence. Comfortability with collaboration tools such as MS Teams, Confluence, and Jira. The ability to work well under deadlines. Strong digital, written, and spoken communication skills, especially in the context of working with hardware engineers and mechanical engineers to complete a layout. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience managing an electronic component library. Experience with PLM systems such as Arena. CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills.

These restrictions mean that factors including new starter’s nationality, any previous or dual nationalities held, place of birth and country of residence may limit those roles that you can perform for the organisation.
