Job/Internship Description
Hearing is key to our health and happiness. Starkey is much more than the hearing aids we produce. We are in the business of connecting people and changing lives. We believe being able to hear the world and the people around us is as essential to the human experience as breathing. Many recent advances are already being recognized as disruptive technologies that have positioned Starkey hearing aids as the industry's first devices that go beyond providing just audiological amplification. Our hearing aids now incorporate Artificial Intelligence, embedded activity sensors, language translation and transcription services, as well as an always-on personal voice assistant. This position is our entry level PCB design position. You will be maintaining and developing microelectronic ECAD drawings that translate schematics, form factor information and design guidelines into electronic files that are to be used to fabricate flexible circuits, rigid circuits and ceramic circuits, and the documentation needed to assemble these circuits. This position supports new product development. The position's goals for delivering to commitments, providing accurate designs that do not need revisions, and continually improving the design process. This person will work closely with circuit board and HDI flexible circuit fabrication shops, laser facilities, assembly shops and Starkey China to insure designs are buildable. All design layout work is done in ECAD using Mentor Graphics Expedition layout software. This position works closely with mechanical engineering, quality engineering, process engineering, wireless engineering and electro-acoustic engineering to develop concepts for future designs. Each design will have a design input review (DIR) where electrical and physical constraints are provided and discussed, a design output review (DOR) and a peer review (FDR). Each design generally goes through a series of formal and informal reviews throughout the design that the designer must host which are often referred as around-the-desk or MID reviews. The circuit will be overlooked by a simulation engineer, electro-acoustic engineer and it will always be checked by verification ECAD designer before it is released to documentation control. This controlled engineering packet generally contains all the design documents and CAD needed to manufacture the circuit board and for someone to design all fixtures needed to assemble them. The ECAD Designer may be asked to choose a product code, request part numbers, write ECOs, submit deviations, and assist the creation of vendor specifications, enter/modify bills of material and control the ECAD data to produce stencils, probe puck and a variety of fixtures. The designer will also have the responsibility to help New Product Engineering, Advanced Packaging and Test Engineering to coordinate deliverables for the prototype builds of this circuit to help assure manufacturability and on-time deliveries. Some design work does not require this stringent design process and they follow the Prototype Fast Track Process. That alternate process is followed when a non-saleable part is needed for research or technology development, which will never end up in a product that we will sell to a customer. #LI-BH1 #starkeyhearing
