Senior PCB Design Engineer

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will own the design of our electronics: power distribution boards, motor controller interface boards, sensor boards, and the ruggedised hardware that ties a robot together. You will take designs from schematic through layout, fabrication, bring-up, and field iteration.

If you have carried boards from a blank schematic all the way to field-proven hardware, and you understand how PCBs fail under real-world abuse, this role is built for you.

Day-to-Day Activities

• Own schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout for electronic subsystems
• Design power distribution, motor controller interface, and sensor interface boards
• Design for EMI/EMC, signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance
• Select components, manage BOMs, and work with supply chain on availability and lifecycle
• Design for ruggedisation: shock, vibration, conformal coating, and connector reliability
• Coordinate fabrication and assembly with vendors and review for DFM/DFT
• Lead board bring-up, testing, and debugging on the bench
• Maintain design documentation and revision control
• Investigate field failures and drive design iterations to close them out

Requirements and Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional PCB design experience
• Degree in Electronics, Electrical, or ECE Engineering
• Mastery of an EDA tool, Altium preferred (KiCad or equivalent also considered)
• Proven experience with multi-layer, high-speed, and power PCB design
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and grounding practices
• Experience with component selection, BOM management, and IPC standards
• Hands-on lab and debugging skills with oscilloscopes and logic analysers
• Track record of taking boards from design through to working, deployed hardware

Preferred Skills (Good to Have)

• Experience with power electronics or high-current / motor-drive board design
• Exposure to automotive or industrial hardware qualification (vibration, thermal cycling)
• Experience with flex and rigid-flex PCB designs
• Familiarity with robotics or EV electronics
