Hanover Park, IL, United States QPS Employment Group Full time
Position Title: PCB Designer

Wage: $40.00 - $43.00/hour

We are seeking a highly skilled PCB Designer with strong RF layout experience to support the design and development of high-performance RF and microwave products. This individual will take ownership of complex PCB layouts-including 8-layer and 16-layer boards-and will work closely with RF Design Engineers to ensure optimal signal integrity, manufacturability, and reliability.

The ideal candidate has at least 5+ years of PCB layout experience, deep familiarity with Altium Designer, and hands-on experience with RF signal paths, grounding strategies, impedance control, and high-frequency design best practices.

You'll play a critical part in enabling high-performance RF systems by ensuring clean, reliable, and manufacturable PCB designs. Your work will directly influence signal integrity, overall product performance, and manufacturing success.

PCB Designer Responsibilities:

- Lead PCB layout for RF and microwave products using Altium Designer

- Design and optimize 8-layer and 16-layer PCBs, including controlled-impedance, high-density, and mixed-signal layouts

- Collaborate closely with RF and hardware engineers to interpret schematics and translate them into robust PCB layouts

- Apply RF layout principles: grounding, shielding, stack-up planning, isolation, routing of high-frequency paths, and minimizing parasitic effects

- Create and maintain footprint libraries, fabrication drawings, and documentation packages

- Work directly with manufacturing partners on DFM/DFT considerations, stack-ups, fabrication notes, and build reviews

- Perform design reviews and incorporate revisions based on engineering feedback

- Maintain version control and project organization within Altium

Requirements for PCB Designer:

- 5+ years of professional PCB layout experience

- Strong expertise with Altium Designer (schematic capture + layout)

- Demonstrated experience laying out RF boards, microwave circuits, or other high-frequency products

- Experience with 8-layer and 16-layer stack-ups, controlled impedance routing, and high-density interconnects

- Strong understanding of RF layout best practices (isolation, grounding, shielding, impedance control, minimizing coupling)

- Familiar with industry fabrication processes, materials, tolerances, and PCB manufacturing guidelines

- Ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams in a fast-paced design environment

- Experience with GaN, LDMOS, or other RF power amplifier architectures preferred

- Background in RF test, measurement, or basic lab skills preferred

- Knowledge of mechanical constraints, thermal design, and packaging preferred
