Printed Circuit Board Design Engineer

Job Title: PCB Designer – IoT & Battery-Powered Devices Job Description: WCO Global is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented PCB Designer with experience in designing hardware for IoT-based and battery-operated devices. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in electronics design, PCB layout, and an understanding of low-power embedded systems. This role involves close collaboration with the hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineering teams to create reliable and manufacturable PCB designs that meet product and performance specifications. Responsibilities: Design and develop PCB layouts and schematics for IoT and battery-powered devices. Develop and maintain component libraries including footprints and symbols. Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to finalize board dimensions, mounting, and placement. Perform design rule checks (DRC), electrical rule checks (ERC), and ensure compliance with IPC standards. Optimize PCB layouts for low power consumption, thermal performance, signal integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility. Generate Gerber files, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly files for prototype and production. Coordinate with fabrication and assembly vendors to ensure designs meet manufacturing requirements. Participate in design reviews and implement feedback. Required Skills: Proficiency in PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCad. Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design. Experience in designing for battery-powered, low-power devices. Familiarity with IoT technologies and wireless protocols such as BLE, Wi-Fi, or LoRa. Good understanding of power management techniques and considerations. Knowledge of high-speed layout techniques, impedance control, and EMI/EMC best practices. Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. 1–3 years of relevant experience in PCB design, preferably in the IoT or embedded systems domain. Experience working on end-to-end product development cycles is a plus. Show more Show less
