Digital Analog PCB Design Engineer

 

Location: Montreal, QC (Hybrid)

Responsibilities:

• Take the lead of Digital/Analog design of a PCB for space projects.
• Supervise junior team members in the design of PCB.
• Convert board level requirements into a board design concept (architecture, I/Os, key parts, power dissipation estimate, FPGA, Software, etc.)
• Coordination with FPGA, software and test designers to finalize the concept and facilitate integration.
• Review and handle the completion of schematic capture level design.
• Identify technology and design risks.
• Guide the team to achieve Design for Manufacture/Test in the space environment.
• Review design layout constraints definitions, parts placement and layout, manufacturing and assembly drawings.
• Prepare and review long lead items lists, BOM, and ensure parts qualifications for space systems
• Perform, manage and review circuit simulation (SPICE, Hyperlynx, ADS, etc.) & various design analyses (ex: worst case, FMECA).
• Coordination with other specialties (structure, thermal, packaging, manufacturing, quality assurance, etc.) handling the reviews for the PCB component placement and layout.
• Manage board assembly and manufacturing tests.
• Support environmental and functional tests and validation for space missions.
• Report progress and issues to the program manager.
• Prepare and review the various documents such as presentations, test plans, test procedures, etc.
• Perform and lead junior members in testing, troubleshooting, and debugging of complex mixed signals boards.
