PCB Designer / Altium Librarian

Job Description

Posted on: 

As a PCB Librarian, you will be responsible for managing PCB component

libraries and associated design data for Impulse avionics and RF products. You will ensure that schematic symbols, footprints, and part metadata are accurate and ready for use in flight PCBA designs that need to survive in a space environment. In this role you will work closely with electrical, RF, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to drive standardization and enable rapid, reliable, and high-quality hardware development.

Responsibilities

  • Own the creation, maintenance, and standardization of PCB component libraries (symbols, footprints, 3D models, and metadata) for avionics hardware
  • Ensure libraries are accurate, manufacturable, and compliant with IPC Class 2/3 standards
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers to translate schematic and layout into reliable, reusable library components
  • Review new component requests and validate footprints, 3D models, pin assignments and layout constraints
  • Mentor engineers on library best practices, IPC standards, and DFM considerations
  • Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure library and design alignment

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in PCB design, component management, or electronics hardware development
  •  Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or comparable practical experience 
  • Strong proficiency in Altium (preferred) or equivalent professional PCB design tools
  • Experience managing component libraries, including symbols, footprints, 3D models, and metadata
  • Solid understanding of high density, multilayer PCB design practices
  • Knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly processes, materials, and
    manufacturing constraints
  • Ability to work effectively in cross functional engineering teams and
    communicate across disciplines
