Printed Circuit Board Designer

Location: Fully Remote

Position Type: 6-Month Contract (with possibility of extension)

Position Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated PCB Designer to join our engineering team on a contract basis. This is a fully remote, offshore position. As a key contributor to our product development lifecycle, you will be responsible for translating schematic designs into robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. You will work on a variety of exciting projects, including new power supplies, advanced LED light engines, and other proprietary electronic products that are core to companies success.

The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in PCB design principles, a keen eye for detail, and a practical understanding of real-world design considerations for power electronics, including noise reduction and thermal management.

Key Responsibilities

• PCB Layout & Design:

  Transform electrical schematics into high-quality, multi-layer PCB layouts using Autodesk Eagle as the primary design tool.

• Design for Excellence:

  Implement best practices for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management to ensure product performance and reliability.

• EMC/EMI Mitigation:

  Proactively apply design techniques to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), including proper grounding, component placement, trace routing, and shielding.

• Component & Library Management:

  Create and maintain schematic symbols and PCB footprints for new components, ensuring they adhere to IPC standards and internal guidelines.

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM/DFA):

  Collaborate with the engineering team and potential manufacturing partners to ensure layouts are optimized for efficient fabrication, assembly, and testing.

• Documentation:

  Generate and manage comprehensive manufacturing data packages, including Gerbers, drill files, bill of materials (BOMs), pick-and-place files, and detailed assembly drawings.

• Collaboration & Review:

  Work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to resolve design challenges, meet physical constraints, and participate in formal design reviews to ensure all requirements are met.

• Prototyping Support:

  Assist the engineering team during the prototype bring-up and testing phase by providing design insights and making necessary revisions.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 1+ years of professional experience in PCB layout design for electronic products.
• Proficiency with PCB design software. Direct experience with

  Autodesk Eagle

  is desirable; however, candidates with strong experience in other industry-standard tools like

  Altium Designer, KiCad, or OrCAD

  will be considered as well.
• Demonstrated understanding of PCB layout fundamentals, including layer stack-up, controlled impedance, and high-speed routing techniques.
• Practical experience designing for noise reduction and mitigating EMC/EMI issues at the board level.
• Familiarity with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
• Ability to read and understand electronic schematics.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills in English.
• A self-motivated individual capable of working independently and managing time effectively in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• A diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, or a related technical field.
• Experience designing PCBs for switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), LED drivers, or other power electronics.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as IPC for PCB design and manufacturing.
• Familiarity with safety and compliance standards related to lighting and electronics (e.g., UL, CE).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) for managing design files.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of an innovative team creating tangible products used in stunning architectural projects.
• Enjoy the flexibility and autonomy of a fully remote role.
• Collaborate with a supportive and knowledgeable engineering team passionate about quality.
• Make a direct impact on the development of new and exciting products.

How to Apply

If you are a motivated PCB designer looking to apply your skills to innovative lighting technology, we encourage you to apply. Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your relevant experience.

A portfolio or 1-2 examples of your previous PCB layout work is highly encouraged.
