About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Translate product requirements into circuit architectures, hardware specifications, and validated electronic designs
- Develop and modify schematics and multilayer PCB layouts using KiCad, including component selection, routing, design-rule checks, BOM preparation, and manufacturing documentation
- Analyze existing PCB layouts and simulation results to identify signal integrity, EMC, and thermal issues
- Investigate root causes and define measurable acceptance criteria for design improvements
- Redesign PCB layouts to address identified issues while maintaining the original schematic, netlist connectivity, and component selection
- Perform and interpret simulations involving impedance, signal reflections, crosstalk, return paths, temperature distribution, heat dissipation, and thermal hotspots
- Evaluate simulation inputs, boundary conditions, material properties, modeling assumptions, and limitations
- Document design decisions, corrective actions, simulation outcomes, and verification findings
- Support prototype bring-up, hardware debugging, and design validation
Requirements
What you’ll need- 8+ years of overall relevant engineering experience, with substantial hands-on experience in electronic hardware and PCB design
- At least 6 years of hands-on electronics hardware and PCB design experience, including multilayer PCB layouts
- Practical experience using KiCad for schematic capture and PCB design
- At least 4 years of practical experience in Signal Integrity (SI) / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) simulation and/or thermal simulation and analysis
- Strong understanding of circuit analysis, component selection, and electronic component datasheets
- Solid knowledge of grounding, power distribution, signal integrity, thermal management, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) / Design for Test (DFT)
- Ability to independently set up, execute, interpret, and validate relevant engineering simulations
- Experience correlating simulation results with actual PCB layout characteristics and identifying design-level causes of performance issues
- Ability to assess model inputs, boundary conditions, material properties, and simulation limitations
- Strong technical documentation and problem-solving skills
