Description:
This role offers the opportunity to work on high-integrity, multi-layer PCB designs across a diverse portfolio of cutting-edge projects, ranging from early-stage R&D through to full-scale production.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and layout complex multi-layer PCBs (4–20 layers) including rigid, flex, and rigid-flex designs
* Support development of analogue, RF, digital, high-speed and power circuits
* Ensure designs meet EMC, signal integrity, and security (e.g. TEMPEST) requirements
* Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and production teams to ensure design integration and manufacturability
* Engage with suppliers to ensure compliance with DFM, DFT, and fabrication standards
* Help support the upskill of hardware engineers

* Strong knowledge of multi-layer routing, IPC standards, and design constraints
* Experience using industry-standard PCB design tools (e.g. Altium, PADS or similar)
* Understanding of DFM/DFT principles and supplier engagement
* Ability to manage multiple projects and deliver to tight deadlines
Desirable Experience
* Signal integrity or power distribution analysis
* Experience with RF or high-speed digital design
* Familiarity with Gerber/ODB++ data
* Exposure to configuration management tools (e.g. Windchill)
* Schematic capture capability
