Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRio Schad is a PCB engineering lead specializing in high-speed RF and digital board design for electronic warfare, with 11 years of hands-on experience delivering Class 2/3 military and medical products. At Anduril he drives complex HDI, flex/rigid-flex, and multi-GHz RF designs while partnering closely with domestic fabs and CMs to optimize yield, reliability, and EMC performance. He combines deep SI/PI simulation expertise (HFSS, SI Wave, HyperLynx) with practical manufacturing know-how—AXI/CT, solder paste/reflow profiling, and stencil optimization—to shrink time-to-reliable-production for challenging form factors like VPX and large uBGAs. Familiar with JESD204C, PCIe, DDR families and major FPGA platforms, Rio brings a systems-level view that balances layout innovation with producibility constraints. A detail-minded engineer, he often applies advanced laminate hybrids and copper-foil choices to solve stubborn RF and shielding problems that aren't obvious from schematics alone.
