Printed Circuit Board Design Engineer

ROLE: PCB Design Engineer

PCB design engineer shall provide technical expertise in designing and optimizing PCB designs and to resolve PCB design, reliability, schedule and/or cost issues at internal or external PCB fabricators.

PCB Design Engineer Roles & Responsibilities:

• Read and interpret Electrical/Electronic Schematics.
• Generate detailed Fabrication drawings of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and Gerber files (Artwork).
• Creates hardware design document that covers design analysis, notes, and specific guidelines followed.
• Architect, design and develop high performance/bandwidth PCBs.
• Perform PCB layout for analog, digital and RF circuit boards through fabrication and assembly drawings generation.
• Be a single point of responsibility in transferring schematic net-list design, ID and ME design into the physical PCB design based on electrical considerations such as signal integrity, power integrity, ID and mechanical integrity, EMC-EMI and safety, manufacturing industry spec and end-user usability requirement.
• Create and manage PCB documentation including fabrication and assembly drawings, Gerber files.
• Coordinate and approve PCB layout.
• Prepare BOM and fabrication documentation and follow revision control procedures.
• Bring up and test of the PCBs and auxiliary electronics.
• Develop PCB layout concepts that are in line with products that involve efficient manufacturing processes.

Qualifications:

Relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Design, Electronics Engineering, Embedded System Engineering, ECE or ETC.

Desired skills:

• Preferably a minimum of 3 years’ experience in using two or more of the PCB designing tools from the list given below.
• Familiar with KiCAD, ISIS, ARES, Allegro or similar industry standard tools.
• Familiarity with PCB failure modes and reliability in extreme environments including ability to resolve issues arising from these.
• Excellent knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes and of PCB materials.
• Strong knowledge of the fundamentals of digital and analog circuit design.
• Strong logic/board debug, and analytical skills.
