PCB Design Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled PCB Engineer (power converter) with 4–5 years of hands on experience in PCB layout, signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal analysis, and high current/high voltage board design. The ideal candidate will work closely with hardware, and mechanical teams to develop reliable, manufacturable, and high performance PCB for complex systems.

Key Responsibilities

·      Must have: 

1.     worked on high power PCB and high frequency operation (more than 1kW).

2.     Basic knowledge of SMPS topology and their working. 

3.     Apply EMI/EMC best practices during layout, including grounding, shielding, return paths, filtering, decoupling, and copper pour strategies. 

4.     Thermal management of high current track and components.

5.     Impedance and resistance measurement of PCB tracks.  

·      Define and optimize PCB stack ups, ensuring controlled impedance, signal integrity, and power integrity.

·      Perform differential pair routing, length matching, and impedance matching for high-speed signals. 

·      Design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and assembly (DFA), working with PCB fabricators and assembly partners to ensure production feasibility.

·      Design power electronics PCBs handling high current and/or high-voltage tracks, considering isolation, creepage/clearance, and safety standards.

·      Identify and mitigate issues like crosstalk, reflections, ground bounce, and power supply noise.

·      Create and maintain component footprint libraries, 3D models, and design rule check (DRC) templates. 

·      Work closely with electrical engineers, firmware engineers, mechanical teams, and test/validation teams to integrate PCBs into the overall product.
