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.
