Job Description:

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced PCB Design Engineer with advanced proficiency in Altium Designer, and a strong background in high voltage and high current PCB design, as well as signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI). This role is critical to the development of robust, high-performance electronic systems used in demanding mass production applications such as industrial, automotive, or power electronics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and layout of multi-layer PCBs using Altium Designer, optimized for high voltage and high current (up to [insert current]) and Power Converter applications.
• Ensure compliance with creepage and clearance standards, including pollution standards, insulation coordination, and thermal management best practices.
• Perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis to ensure reliable operation under dynamic load conditions.
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to optimize component placement, routing, and enclosure integration.
• Generate complete manufacturing documentation including Gerber/ODB++ files, BOMs, and assembly drawings.
• Setup DRC/ERC checks and validate designs against IPC and safety standards (e.g., IPC-2221, UL, IEC).
• Support prototype builds, bring-up, and debugging of high-power circuits.
• Create and maintain a central Altium Library for use by other engineers
• Create rules and templates for when adding new library components

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in PCB design with 3+ years using Altium Designer.
• Proven experience designing high voltage, high current PCBs for Power Conversion, including thermal and mechanical considerations, up to 8 layers or more.
• Experience with power electronics, motor drives, or industrial control systems.
• Experience in medium or high-speed digital design
• Strong understanding of SI/PI principles, high-frequency current flow, parasitic inductance, capacitance and coupling; impedance control, decoupling strategies, and PDN design.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and safety compliance standards.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Understanding of cost implications of design choices

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with power electronics, motor drives, or industrial control systems.
• Familiarity with rigid-flex and HDI PCB technologies.
• Experience with simulation tools such as PDN Analyzer, HyperLynx, Sigrity, or ANSYS SIwave.
• Knowledge of regulatory standards such as UL, IEC 60950, or IEC 61010.
