Senior Electronics/PCB Design Engineer

Senior Electronics/PCB Design Engineer

• Department: Hardware Engineering / Electrical EngineeringJob Type: Contract (Outside IR35)Position OverviewWe are seeking an experienced Senior Electronics/PCB Design Engineer with deep expertise in high current and high-power PCB layout and design.
• This role focuses on designing complex power electronics systems handling currents from 10A to over 200A, incorporating best practices for thermal management, signal integrity, and manufacturability.
• The ideal candidate is highly skilled in hands-on PCB design, can work autonomously, and collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams including hardware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.

• Lead the full lifecycle of PCB layout for high-power electronic systems.
• Design boards optimized for high current handling, including trace width, copper thickness, thermal dissipation, and creepage/clearance considerations.
• Conduct power integrity, impedance, and thermal simulations.
• Define board architecture and work closely with hardware engineers on component placement strategies.
• Generate complete manufacturing documentation: Gerber files, BOMs, assembly drawings, and pick-and-place data.Support hardware validation, bring-up, and testing.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior designers or contractors.Liaise with vendors for DFM (Design for
• Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability) reviews.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.7+ years of professional PCB design experience, with at least 3 years in high current/high power applications.
• Strong command of PCB design tools such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence Allegro, or equivalent.
• Deep knowledge of power planes, thermal vias, stack-up design, and heat dissipation techniques.
• Experience designing systems such as DC-DC converters, motor controllers, battery management, or power distribution units.Familiarity with IPC standards, especially for high current applications.
• Proficiency in thermal, power integrity, and signal integrity simulations.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.

• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation in high current PCB designs.
• Knowledge of mixed-signal and embedded system integration.
• Industry experience in automotive, industrial, or aerospace environments.Familiarity with heavy copper PCB fabrication and multi-layer designs.
