What you'll do:
- Design PCBs for diverse applications including laser control systems, motor drives, power distribution, control panels, vehicle ECUs, and sensor interfaces
- Create high-speed digital boards for embedded computing, image processing, and real-time control systems
- Develop power electronics PCBs handling high currents for motor control and power distribution
- Design mixed-signal boards integrating precision analog, digital processing, and power management
- Optimize PCB layouts for EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and automotive reliability standards
- Implement design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT) strategies across product lines
- Collaborate with firmware teams on microcontroller selection, memory architecture, and peripheral interfaces
- Support contract manufacturers through prototyping, bring-up, test development, and production ramp
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities for Success:
- 2 - 8+ years experience in PCB design for embedded systems and power electronics
- Expert proficiency in Altium Designer (v18+) including multi-board projects and multi layer designs as well as analytical design optimization tools
- Proficiency in embedded systems including microcontrollers, FPGAs, and communication interfaces
- Significant experience with power electronics layout including thermal management and high-current routing
- Experience with high-speed digital design (DDR interfaces, differential pairs, impedance control)
- Previous experience developing PCBs for agricultural/automotive/aerospace applications that meet strict environmental (vibration, temperature, high humidity, EMC) and regulatory requirements.
- Understanding of manufacturing processes, component selection, and cost optimization
- Willingness to travel ~10% of the time to support products in the production & field environments with a demonstrated ability to work directly with internal and external stakeholders/customers
- BS+ in Electrical Engineering or related field
