- Ensure compliance withcreepage and clearancestandards including pollution standards insulation coordination and thermal management best practices.
- Performsignal integrityandpower integrityanalysis to ensure reliable operation under dynamic load conditions.
- Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to optimize component placement routing and enclosure integration.
- Generate complete manufacturing documentation including Gerber/ODB files BOMs and assembly drawings.
- Setup DRC/ERC checks and validate designs against IPC and safety standards (e.g. IPC-2221 UL IEC).
- Support prototype builds bring-up and debugging of high-power circuits.
- Create and maintain a central Altium Library for use by other engineers
- Create rules and templates for when adding new library components
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in electrical engineering Electronics Engineering or a related field.
- 7 years of experience in PCB design with 3 years usingAltium Designer.
- Proven experience designinghigh voltage high current PCBs for Power Conversion including thermal and mechanical considerations up to 8 layers or more.
- Experience withpower electronics motor drives or industrial control systems.
- Experience in medium or high-speed digital design
- Strong understanding ofSI/PI principles high-frequency current flow parasitic inductance capacitance and coupling; impedance control decoupling strategies and PDN design.
- Familiarity with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and safety compliance standards.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
