PCB Engineer

This position is for a highly motivated individual to work as part of a research and development team to design PCB hardware for Motor Controls and Drives (motor controllers / Drives / power converters / power conditioning / front end filter) used in Aerospace and Defence applications. The candidate should have good written and verbal communication skills and be able to work in a team effectively. This position requires support for new products as well as legacy products.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:-

• Design and document complex printed circuit boards conforming to IPC and industry standards from schematics, parts lists, and functional requirements supplied by electrical and mechanical design team.
• Interpret requirements for product electrical functionality, manufacturability, and regulatory agency compliance into PCB design implementations.
• Generate all documentation required for release and production of PCB designs and provide subsequent Manufacturing support and revision through ECO process.
• Provide expertise to optimize PCB designs and to resolve PCB design technical issues at PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers.
• Maintain CAD library, including symbol, footprint generation, and database administration.
• Establish PCB design standards, procedures, and guidelines, and assist with file maintenance and configuration control.
• Participate in structured product development programs in a collaborative team environment, working within constraints of program schedules and cost.
• Participate in Design reviews – TIM, PDR, CDR, TRR.
• Participate and present technical updates to the wider engineering team on a weekly basis
• Perform part obsolescence reviews.  Including cost, availability, and country of origin assessments

Qualification And Experience:-

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering
• 5+ years’ progressively responsible experience in an engineering environment

Mandatory Skills:-

• Expert in PCB design using Altium Designer & PCAD software.
• Experienced in design of complex analog, digital, and power multi-layer printed circuit boards for high density and high-parts count applications
• Expert in the PCB design process: schematic capture, layout, generation of design files, BOMs, and release and revision control to ERP.
• Expert in generation of Gerber image files, and knowledgeable with the CAM350 suite of tools and PCB fabrication processes.
• Expert in the PCB layout process conforming to IPC standards and electrical and mechanical constraints of printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly.
• Knowledgeable in switched-mode power supply PCB design constraints: spacing requirements for high voltages and PCB track sizing for high current; layout practices to mitigate EMI issues; mounting of heavy components such as magnetics, heatsinks, and busbars.
• Knowledgeable in safety agency requirements for insulation and clearance/creepage spacings.
• Knowledgeable in electronics packaging and design for manufacturability to minimize cost and labour content.
• Knowledge desirable in CAD modelling and simulation of PCB electrical and thermal characteristics

Location:-
