PCB Design Engineer

Location: Onsite – Irvine, CA
Industry: Aerospace & Defense
Compensation: $130,000 – $160,000 (depending on experience)

We're hiring a hands-on PCB Design Engineer to contribute to mission-critical electronics used in advanced aerospace and defense systems. If you enjoy multi-layer board design, working in Altium, and collaborating with a small, dedicated team to build real hardware—this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

What You'll Do:

• Design and optimize printed circuit boards (manual and auto-routing)
• Work closely with hardware and mechanical teams to ensure manufacturability and performance
• Support simulation, board bring-up, and validation

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of PCB design experience
• Proficiency with Altium (or similar design tools)
• Understanding of high-speed signals, DFM principles, and PCB fabrication
• Aerospace, defense, or rugged electronics background is a plus, but not required

This is a full-time onsite position based in Irvine, CA. If this sounds like the kind of work you want to be doing, we'd love to connect—even if your experience doesn't check every box.
