Electrical Engineer - PCB
About the role
The Electrical (PCB) Engineer will transform high-level electrical design intent into complete, manufacturable board designs. Working closely with senior engineers, this person will produce schematics, assist with component selection and substitution, and lay out complex, multi-layer PCBs. They will prepare clean release packages and coordinate with vendors to ensure successful fabrication. Once boards arrive, they will inspect, test, and support bring-up to ensure readiness for system integration.
Responsibilities
- Translate system-level electrical design intent into detailed schematics.
- Select components, evaluate alternates, and maintain component libraries.
- Perform PCB layout for multi-layer boards (6+ layers), including high-speed, low-noise, and RF routing.
- Generate complete release documentation packages, including drawings, BOMs, and revision notes.
- Coincoperate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors; incorporate DFM/DFA feedback.
- Support PCB bring-up, debugging, and characterization using oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, and similar equipment.
- Develop simple test fixtures or scripts to support inspection and testing.
- Contribute to design reviews and document decision-making outcomes.
- Maintain organized design files and version control discipline across projects.
Required Education
Required Qualifications: - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience. - Proficiency in PCB design software, ideally Altium Designer. - Demonstrated experience creating schematics and selecting electronic components. - Experience with component library management (symbols, footprints, 3D models). - Proven ability to route low-noise, high-speed, or RF signals on 6+ layer PCBs. - Understanding of design-for-test, including test-point strategy and module isolation. - Experience producing clean documentation: release drawings, BOMs, revision notes. - Experience working with PCB vendors and applying DFM/DFA best practices. - Hands-on experience inspecting and testing fabricated PCBs using standard lab instruments. - Strong communication skills, ability to take feedback, and comfort working in a fast-paced hardware development environment. - Demonstrated ownership of designs, from schematic capture through preliminary bring-up.
Required Qualifications
- Experience using Python or similar scripting languages to control lab instruments.
- Experience with rigid-flex PCB design.
- Experience in wireless power transfer design.
- Exposure to medical devices, implantable systems, or regulated hardware environments.
