PCB Design Engineer - Power Electronics

Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented PCB Design Engineer to join our Hardware Design/Power Electronics team. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in multilayer PCB design (up to 4 layers), power electronics, and high-voltage systems. The role involves schematic design, PCB layout optimization, EMI/EMC-aware design practices, hardware validation, and support in UAV hardware integration activities.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop schematics and PCB layouts using KiCad and Altium Designer.
• Work on power supply designs including DC-DC converters, AC-DC converters, battery-powered systems, BMS, and high-voltage circuits.
• Design multilayer PCBs (up to 4 layers) considering grounding, thermal performance, manufacturability, and signal integrity.
• Create and maintain custom PCB footprints and component libraries.
• Generate manufacturing deliverables including Gerber files, BOM, fabrication drawings, assembly files, and production documentation.
• Perform DFM (Design for Manufacturability) checks and coordinate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors.
• Implement EMI/EMC design techniques including filtering, shielding, grounding strategies, and noise reduction methods.
• Perform impedance-controlled routing and follow best practices for high-speed and high-current PCB layouts.
• Support PCB bring-up, debugging, testing, and validation activities.
• Assist in UAV hardware integration, wiring, and system-level testing activities.
• Prepare hardware documentation, design reports, testing reports, and revision records.
• Coordinate with hardware, firmware, and mechanical teams during product development.

Desired Skills

• Hands-on experience with KiCad and Altium Designer.
• Strong understanding of PCB design fundamentals and multilayer board stack-up.
• Experience in power electronics and power supply hardware design.
• Good knowledge of EMI/EMC concepts and mitigation techniques.
• Understanding of impedance matching, grounding strategies, and signal integrity.
• Knowledge of high-voltage safety practices, isolation techniques, and thermal management.
• Hands-on experience in SMD soldering and rework of packages like uDFN, QFN, etc.
• Familiarity with hardware debugging tools such as Oscilloscope, Multimeter, Logic Analyzer, and Power Analyzer.
• Good understanding of PCB manufacturing, assembly, and DFM processes.
• Experience in footprint creation and component library management.
• Good documentation and communication skills.
• Experience with industrial power systems, UAV electronics, EV electronics, or battery systems (preferred).
• Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB layout guidelines (preferred).
• Exposure to high-current and thermally demanding applications (preferred).
• Experience in PCB bring-up and prototype validation (preferred).
• Basic understanding of embedded hardware systems and interfaces (preferred).

Qualifications

B.E / B.Tech / M.E / M.Tech in Electronics, ECE, EEE, Instrumentation, or related field.
