Position Summary:

We are seeking a skilled PCB Design Engineer to join our team in Fremont, CA. In this full-time, onsite role, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing complex multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) for high-voltage electronics and gas flow systems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative electronic solutions, from conceptual design through manufacturing, ensuring high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable products. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge high-voltage circuit designs and embedded processor integration within a dynamic engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and layout multi-layer PCBs (up to ten layers) using CAD software such as Altium, SolidWorks PCB, and EAGLE.
• Perform circuit analysis and simulation, including circuit verification with Gerber and ODB files, and optimize designs for performance, manufacturability, and cost.
• Develop attending circuits based on embedded processors used in gas flow electronics, ensuring robust and efficient performance.
• Oversee the fabrication and testing of prototypes, conducting thorough validation of design specifications and iterating based on test results.
• Create comprehensive documentation, including fabrication and assembly drawings, Bill-of-Materials, testing routines, and performance reports, complying with industry standards.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical design teams, manufacturing, procurement, and other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration and cost efficiency.
• Stay updated on industry trends, materials, and emerging technologies; propose innovative solutions to enhance product performance.
• Analyze high-voltage circuits (>200V) and transistor-level designs for reliability and safety.
• Work on embedded processor hardware, particularly ARM-9, CORTEX, and switching power supplies (buck and boost).
• Contribute to cost reduction and process improvements throughout the product lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (not Computer Engineering) or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical circuit design, PCB layout, and testing.
• Proficiency in PCB CAD software: Altium Designer, SolidWorks PCB, and EAGLE (older versions).
• Strong understanding of high-voltage circuits (>200V) and transistor-level circuit design.
• Hands-on experience with embedded processors such as ARM-9, CORTEX, or similar hardware.
• Experience designing and testing switching power supplies (buck and boost converters).
• Knowledge of industry standards related to manufacturing processes and materials (e.g., ANSI, SEMI, UHP).
• Familiarity with SolidWorks Mechanical software.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Experience with SPICE circuit simulation software such as LTspice.
• Knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics related to gas delivery and flow systems.
• Familiarity with general discrete electronics.
• Project management skills and experience leading engineering projects.
