YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a skilled and motivated PCB Layout Engineer III to join our electrical engineering team. In this role, you will work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, high-performance PCBAs for advanced spacecraft applications. You will contribute across the board design lifecycle — from schematic review through part placement, layout, design for manufacturability, and release to manufacturing — with growing ownership of increasingly complex designs. You bring solid hands-on layout experience and a drive to develop your skills in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and lay out multi-layer PCBs from 2-32 layers across varying levels of complexity and density
• Read, interpret, and understand electrical PCB schematics to inform layout decisions
• Complete layout of digital and analog circuits, including power converters and mixed-signal designs
• Generate PCB fabrication and assembly documentation including drawings, Gerbers, and BOMs
• Set up and manage PCB layer stack-ups and design rules to meet electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements
• Perform design rule checks (DRC) and electrical rules checks (ERC) to ensure layouts meet all physical and electrical requirements
• Support design for manufacturing (DFM) reviews with manufacturing partners
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to ensure board layouts meet all requirements and integrate into system architecture
• Assist with component creation, including electrical parameters and mechanical information
• Assist with shared component library and lifecycle management for existing and new components
• Help improve and document PCB design and procurement processes

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
• 3-5 years of professional experience in PCB design and layout
• Proficiency with Altium Designer
• Experience managing shared component libraries with revision control
• Solid understanding of electronics principles, component functions, and PCB design rules
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, own projects, and drive them to completion
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Knowledge of relevant IPC specifications and their implementation in PCB layout
• Experience with high-speed digital and RF layout techniques
• Experience with power electronics layout
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC considerations and thermal management layout techniques
• Knowledge of commonly used PCB materials and their typical applications
• Experience working with configuration management tools for production hardware
• Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary:  DEN: $110,000 - $155,000 | LB: $115,000 - $160,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Long Beach locations. While we observe a hybrid work environment, most work must be done on site.
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.

This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application, please follow the directions below. #LI-Onsite
