About this role
This position is for a highly motivated individual to work as part of a research and development team to design PCB hardware for Power converter ( AC drive / UPS / Charger ) , High Speed Digital board , Mixed signal board. The candidate should have good written and verbal communication skills and be able to work in a team effectively. This position requires support for new products as well as legacy products.
Job Duties:
- Design and document complex printed circuit boards conforming to IPC and industry standards from schematics, parts lists, and functional requirements supplied by electrical and mechanical design team.
- Interpret requirements for product electrical functionality, manufacturability, and regulatory agency compliance into PCB design implementations.
- Generate all documentation required for release and production of PCB designs and provide subsequent Manufacturing support and revision through ECO process.
- Provide expertise to optimize PCB designs and to resolve PCB design technical issues at PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers.
- Maintain CAD library, including symbol, footprint generation, and database administration.
- Establish PCB design standards, procedures, and guidelines, and assist with file maintenance and configuration control.
- Participate in structured product development programs in a collaborative team environment, working within constraints of program schedules and cost.
Required Skills and Education:
- Expert in PCB design using Altium Designer & PCAD software.
- Experienced in design of complex analog, digital, and power multi-layer printed circuit boards for high density and high parts count power supply applications ( Ac drive , UPS , Charger ) using through-hole, SMT, fine-pitch, and BGA components.
- Expert in the PCB design process: schematic capture, layout, generation of design files, BOMs, and release and revision control to ERP.
- Expert in generation of Gerber image files, and knowledgeable with the CAM350 suite of tools and PCB fabrication processes.
- Expert in the PCB layout process conforming to IPC standards and electrical and mechanical constraints of printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly.
- Knowledgeable in switched-mode power supply PCB design constraints: spacing requirements for high voltages and PCB track sizing for high current; layout practices to mitigate EMI issues; mounting of heavy components such as magnetics, heatsinks, and busbars.
- Knowledgeable in safety agency requirements for insulation and clearance/creepage spacings.
- Knowledgeable in electronics packaging and design for manufacturability to minimize cost and labour content.
- Knowledge desirable in CAD modelling and simulation of PCB electrical and thermal characteristics.
- Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering
- 3+ years of relevant experience
- Good verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work on a team
