A leading technology company is seeking a Senior PCB Design Engineer with strong expertise in high current and power electronics systems. The successful candidate will play a key role in the design and layout of complex PCBs handling currents from 10A to 200A+, with a focus on thermal management, signal integrity, and manufacturability. This is a technically hands-on role suited to engineers who enjoy working on cutting-edge power systems within a collaborative R&D environment.Key Responsibilities:

Lead the end-to-end PCB layout and design process for high-power applications
Design boards with optimized trace width, thermal dissipation, creepage/clearance, and high current handling
Perform impedance control, thermal and power integrity analysis
Work closely with hardware engineers on board architecture and component placement
Generate complete manufacturing documentation including Gerbers, BOMs, pick-and-place files, and assembly drawings
Support PCB bring-up, validation, and testing
Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and PCB designers
Interface with external vendors for DFM/DFT/fabrication review processes

Required Experience:

BSc/MSc in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or related field)
7+ years' experience in PCB design, with at least 3 years working on high current or high-power systems
Proficiency in tools such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence Allegro, or equivalent
Strong knowledge of PCB stack-ups, thermal vias, copper weight design, and power planes
Experience with DC-DC converters, motor drivers, battery management, or power distribution systems
Familiarity with IPC standards relevant to high current/power designs
Experience using simulation tools for thermal, power, and signal integrity analysis
