Job Description

The Role

Lead PCBA layout from board concepts and lab demonstrations through to product-intent designs, with a focus on high-current, high-voltage and high-speed boards.

Key Responsibilities

. Own stack-up strategy, component placement, routing and optimisation for high-current and high-speed designs.

. Develop PCB design processes for high-voltage and power designs that meet compliance and safety requirements.

. Drive best practice in signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermals, design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT).

. Work with electrical engineers to optimise performance and integration, and with mechanical and thermal team son liquid cooling, heatsinks, busbars and connectors.

. Run design reviews and providetechnical leadership across multiple projects.

. Work with PCB fabricators and assembly partners to deliver cost-effective prototypes.

. Improve company-wide layout methodologies, tools and practices, and research new PCBA technologies.

Requirements

. Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or related).

. 6+ years of PCB layout experience, including leading complex multilayer boards and owning review processes.

. Expert knowledge of Altium Designer, OrCAD, PADS or Cadence Allegro.

. Strong grasp of high-current routing, creepage and clearance, high-voltage design, differential pairs, controlled impedance, high-speed interfaces, EMC and thermal optimisation.

. Experience with power electronics (AC/DC, DC/DC) and controllers (FPGA, DSP, MCU).

. Desirable: power modules, GaN and SiC, liquid-cooled electronics and HDI.
