Job Summary:
We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer with strong expertise in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design and assembly. The candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end process of designing, assembling, and testing PCBs for various electronic systems. This position requires hands-on experience in both design and prototyping, ensuring high-quality and reliable PCBs that meet project specifications and industry standards.
Key Responsibilities:
• PCB Design:
• Design and develop multi-layer PCBs based on electrical and mechanical requirements.
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and routing using industry-standard design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, Eagle).
• Select appropriate components, ensuring performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define board specifications and ensure proper integration with mechanical designs.
• PCB Assembly:
• Oversee and participate in the assembly of prototypes, ensuring proper placement and soldering of components.
• Work closely with technicians to manage the rework, soldering, and debugging of assembled boards.
• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews to optimize the board layout for manufacturability and ease of assembly.
• Testing and Troubleshooting:
• Develop and execute test plans for verifying electrical performance and compliance with design specifications.
• Conduct signal integrity analysis, power integrity, and thermal analysis to ensure reliable performance.
• Debug and troubleshoot any issues with PCB designs, identifying root causes and implementing solutions.
• Documentation and Compliance:
• Generate detailed design documentation, including schematics, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and test reports.
• Ensure that all designs meet applicable industry standards (e.g., IPC, UL, CE) and regulatory requirements for product safety and reliability.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance PCB design processes.
• Keep up to date with new technologies, materials, and industry trends to improve PCB performance and reliability.
Requirements:
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
• 3+ years of experience in PCB design and assembly.
• Proficiency with PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, or Eagle.
• Hands-on experience with soldering, reworking, and assembling PCBs, including surface-mount and through-hole components.
• Skills:
• Strong understanding of electronic components, signal integrity, and power distribution in PCB designs.
• Familiarity with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical issues and perform root cause analysis.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work both independently and in a team environment.
• Certifications:
• IPC certification for PCB design/assembly is a plus.
• Familiarity with UL, CE, and RoHS standards is desirable.
Benefits:
• Competitive salary and performance bonuses.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Retirement plan with company matching.
• Opportunities for career growth and development.
