Full Job Description
The PCB Design Engineer develops high-quality printed circuit boards for advanced engine controllers, fuel systems, battery management systems, and telematics applications. This role collaborates closely with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and vendor partners to ensure designs meet electrical, thermal, packaging, and regulatory requirements. The engineer also drives design quality through detailed reviews, standards interpretation, library maintenance, and production-ready documentation.

Responsibilities
  • Design printed circuit boards for new products, such as engine controllers, fuel system devices, lithium-ion battery management systems (BMS) and chargers, and IoT telematics systems.
  • Exhibit a relentless attention to detail to produce defect-free PCB designs within project timelines.
  • Generate Gerber data and all necessary fabrication files.
  • Create PCB footprints from manufacturers' datasheets and maintain component library.
  • Collaborate with vendors and internal design and manufacturing teams to optimize material and manufacturing costs.
  • Collaborate with Mechanical and Electrical Engineers to optimize packaging, thermal, and electrical performance.
  • Independently interpret electrical standards such as IEC, CSA, and UL (as pertaining to PCB design) and successfully implement in designs.

Requirements
  • BS in Engineering-based discipline.
  • Seven (7) years relevant PCB design experience.
  • Expert in PCB layout techniques and best practices (EMC, thermal, small signal integrity).
  • Highly proficient with Altium tool suite.
  • Experience with interpreting electrical schematics to create optimal PCB layouts.
  • Experience with 10+ layer PCB designs.
  • Familiar with designing to standards such as UL, CSA, IEC.
