PCB Design Engineer

Job Description:

Required Qualifications-

• 8+ years of experience in PCBA-level circuit design for robotics, industrial, automotive, or consumer electronics
• Experience reviewing designs produced by external engineering teams or ODMs and providing technical feedback on component selection and design trade-offs
• Proficiency with Altium Designer — schematic capture and PCB layout
• Experience with subsystem architecture and high-level electrical design for multi-board embedded systems
• Hands-on board bring-up and debug experience with standard EE test equipment
• Strong experience with communication interfaces: Ethernet (100Base-T1, 1000BASE-T), USB, MIPI CSI, SPI, I2C, CAN-FD
• Experience with EtherCAT hardware architecture — daisy-chain topology, PHY selection
• Experience with power architecture design — switching regulators, LDOs, power sequencing, high-current distribution, PMIC integration
• Experience with motor driver circuits, gate drivers, or power stage design for BLDC actuators
• Experience managing PCB fabrication vendors — stackup review, DFM, material availability, and multi-vendor coordination
• Experience with signal integrity fundamentals — constraint development, impedance control, timing budget analysis
• Ability to work independently on multiple concurrent board designs at different stages with minimal supervision

Preferred Qualifications-

• Experience with signal integrity and power integrity analysis tools (HSpice, ADS, SIwave) and package-level delay analysis using IBIS/S-parameter models
• Experience with IMU/inertial sensor integration and low-noise analog front-end design
• Experience with tactile sensor interfaces
• Experience with semiconductor vendor technical engagement for component evaluation and design support
• Experience working with contract manufacturers on DFM review and production test development
• Familiarity with functional safety hardware mechanisms (watchdogs, voltage monitors, safe-state circuits, redundancy)
