The Applications Engineer plays a crucial role in the design and development of electronic and mechanical components specifically for printed circuit boards (PCBs). This position requires a deep understanding of engineering principles and the ability to utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software effectively. The engineer will be tasked with creating innovative and efficient designs that meet the specific requirements of various projects. The ideal candidate will not only have a solid foundation in PCB design but also possess experience with flex circuit and rigid flex designs, ensuring that they can contribute to a wide range of applications. A strong understanding of IPC standards is essential, as it guides the quality and reliability of the designs produced. In this role, the Applications Engineer will be responsible for creating both 3D models and 2D drawings using advanced CAD software. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is a key aspect of the job, as it ensures that all design requirements are met and that the final products are both functional and manufacturable. The engineer will also perform engineering calculations and simulations to validate their designs, ensuring that they meet all necessary specifications and performance criteria. Additionally, the role involves conducting research on new technologies and design techniques, which is vital for staying ahead in a rapidly evolving field. Documentation is another critical component of this position. The Applications Engineer will produce and maintain accurate documentation of designs and processes, which is essential for both internal records and compliance with industry standards. They will also review and approve PCB layouts and designs, providing guidance and expertise to junior engineers and team members. Troubleshooting and resolving design issues will be a regular part of the job, requiring strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically under pressure.
