• Translate schematic and system requirements into manufacturable PCB designs while ensuring compliance with electrical, thermal, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Apply expert knowledge in high-current power distribution, heavy copper design, bus bar integration, creepage and clearance requirements, and high-voltage isolation techniques.
• Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, Compliance, and Manufacturing teams to deliver robust designs meeting performance, EMI/EMC, thermal, and regulatory requirements.
• Perform PCB design reviews and support DFM, DFA, DFT, SI/PI, thermal, and reliability assessments throughout the NPI lifecycle.
• Drive continuous improvement of PCB layout methodologies, design guidelines, and automation tools to improve design quality and development efficiency.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related discipline.
• 8+ years of PCB layout experience in new product development and sustaining engineering.
• Proficiency in PCB design tools such as Siemens Xpedition or equivalent PCB CAD platforms. Proficiency in Siemens Xpedition will be an added advantage.
• Strong understanding of multilayer PCB design, DFM, DFA, and PCB fabrication processes.
• Experience with signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, grounding, shielding, and thermal design principles.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and collaborate effectively with Hardware, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Compliance teams.
• Experience designing PCBs for high-current power electronics applications, including heavy copper designs, bus bars, power distribution networks, and thermal management.
• Experience with high-voltage products and safety-critical designs, including creepage and clearance requirements, insulation coordination, and compliance with IEC/UL standards.
• Knowledge of high-speed digital interfaces, controlled impedance routing, differential pair routing, and mixed-signal layout techniques.
