Requirements
Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field. They should have proven experience in schematic capture and PCB design for high-reliability applications, preferably in automotive or aerospace industries. Proficiency in PCB design software, particularly KiCAD, and circuit simulation tools like LTSpice is required. Familiarity with git, CAD software such as OnShape, and strong knowledge of electronic components is essential. Experience with power supply design and testing tools such as oscilloscopes is preferred.
Responsibilities
The Senior Electrical Engineer will own PCB design from architecture to layout in a fast-paced, iterative engineering culture. They will design architecture based on high-level requirements, select components, perform circuit simulations, and conduct schematic captures. Collaboration with Designers and Mechanical Engineers for PCB layout is expected, along with the design of multi-layer, high-speed PCBs that meet various constraints. The role includes performing signal integrity analysis and optimizing thermal management and component placement.
