PCB Designer

Apple is seeking a motivated individual with a deep understanding of printed circuit board (PCB) design, high-speed design environments, and the ability to receive guidance from design engineers to build complex boards. This role involves collaborating with design teams on the design and development of detailed layouts for rigid and flexible PCBs using CAE and CAD tools. You will also work with design teams to plan schedules, resolve costs, packaging, manufacturing, and electrical design issues. Responsibilities include studying PCB design trends, evaluating and implementing new processes, conducting feasibility studies for packaging, cost, manufacturing, and system performance, and assisting PCB Designers in resolving critical design problems and training them in specialized areas. You will develop an understanding of Apple's design standards for manufacturing and test, and ensure quality design requirements are met before product release. The role also involves coordinating with engineering, product design, test, EMC engineering, and manufacturing, resolving PCB design issues with vendors, and participating in the evolution of Apple's Design for Manufacturing (DFM) guidelines. Discussions will include PCB design specifications and standards to meet design goals, produce high-quality PCBs at the lowest cost, and within schedule.
