Job details:
As a PCB Design Engineer, you will own the design of our electronics: power distribution boards, motor controller interface boards, sensor boards, and the ruggedised hardware that ties a robot together. You will take designs from schematic through layout, fabrication, bring-up, and field iteration.
If you have carried boards from a blank schematic all the way to field-proven hardware, and you understand how PCBs fail under real-world abuse, this role is built for you.
Day-to-Day Activities
- Own schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout for electronic subsystems
- Design power distribution, motor controller interface, and sensor interface boards
- Design for EMI/EMC, signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance
- Select components, manage BOMs, and work with supply chain on availability and lifecycle
- Design for ruggedisation: shock, vibration, conformal coating, and connector reliability
- Coordinate fabrication and assembly with vendors and review for DFM/DFT
- Lead board bring-up, testing, and debugging on the bench
- Maintain design documentation and revision control
- Investigate field failures and drive design iterations to close them out
Requirements and Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional PCB design experience
- Degree in Electronics, Electrical, or ECE Engineering
- Mastery of an EDA tool, Altium preferred (KiCad or equivalent also considered)
- Proven experience with multi-layer, high-speed, and power PCB design
- Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and grounding practices
- Experience with component selection, BOM management, and IPC standards
- Hands-on lab and debugging skills with oscilloscopes and logic analysers
- Track record of taking boards from design through to working, deployed hardware
Preferred Skills (Good to Have)
- Experience with power electronics or high-current / motor-drive board design
- Exposure to automotive or industrial hardware qualification (vibration, thermal cycling)
- Experience with flex and rigid-flex PCB designs
- Familiarity with robotics or EV electronics
