Job Summary

PCB Designer on SpaceX’s Starship team develops in-house board layouts, collaborating with hardware and firmware engineers to create reliable, manufacturable PCBs for advanced electronics. Responsibilities span layer stack-ups, high-layer-count routing, simulations, design audits, and fabrication deliverables, with a focus on RF, analog, digital, and power conversion boards within a fast-paced hardware environment.

Location: California

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)

Key Responsibilities

•Determine layer stack-up, perform component package selection, component placement, routing feasibility studies, and signal routing of digital, analog, RF, and power conversion of printed circuit boards (PCB)
•Perform multilayer PCB layout (20+ layers), including component placement, high-speed routing (differential pairs, length matching), controlled impedance, and power/ground plane design
•Conduct pre- and post-layout SI/PI simulations to mitigate crosstalk, reflections, and EMI/EMC issues
•Perform DRC/ERC checks, peer reviews, and design audits; collaborate with hardware/firmware engineers for functional validation and prototype bring-up support
•Produce fabrication deliverables (Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, drill files, stack-up drawings, assembly files)
