PCB Design & Electrical Engineer (human)

Asks for

• Altium DesignerThe ad says“Schematic design: Capture complex multi-sheet schematics in Altium Designer — power stages, microcontroller & SoC support circuits, sensor interfaces (IMU, encoder, ToF, tactile), motor drive gate stages, and communication buses (e.g. CAN-FD, EtherCAT, SPI, I²C, USB).”
• board reworkThe ad says“Practical lab skills: confident with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and board rework.”
• component qualificationThe ad says“Component qualification: Select, specify, and qualify components; manage lifecycle risks (EOL, long lead times, second source); maintain the approved vendor list (AVL) for electronic components in close coordination with procurement.”
• design verificationThe ad says“Design verification: Run design rule checks (DRC/ERC), perform pre-layout and post-layout SI/PI simulations, and carry out formal design reviews with firmware and systems engineering teams.”
• DFMThe ad says“NPI and DFM: Prepare and own full manufacturing documentation — Gerber/ODB++, assembly drawings, BoM, IPC-compliant fab notes — and work directly with PCB fabricators and PCBA contract manufacturers to qualify and release designs for series production.”
• EMC design principlesThe ad says“Solid understanding of EMC design principles: grounding strategies, shielding, filtering, return path management, and pre-compliance test methodology.”
• EMC-compliant routingThe ad says“PCB layout: Design 4–16 layer boards with careful attention to signal integrity, power integrity, EMC-compliant routing, thermal management, and mixed-signal partitioning. Experience with impedance-controlled routing and high-current copper pours is essential.”
• high-speed digitalThe ad says“Strong experience with mixed-signal board design: power electronics (SMPS, LDO, battery management, motor drives), high-speed digital (DDR, SerDes, high-frequency clocks), and sensitive analog/sensor front-ends on the same board.”
• logic analyzersThe ad says“Bring-up and debugging: Lead board bring-up in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues end-to-end — from power rails to high-speed digital signals.”
• network analyzersThe ad says“Bring-up and debugging: Lead board bring-up in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues end-to-end — from power rails to high-speed digital signals.”
• oscilloscopesThe ad says“Bring-up and debugging: Lead board bring-up in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues end-to-end — from power rails to high-speed digital signals.”

• solderingThe ad says“You are a hands-on electrical engineer with a strong focus on PCB design and a track record of taking complex boards all the way to production. You're as comfortable with a schematic editor as you are with a soldering iron, and you understand what it means to design for manufacturing, not just for function.”
• spectrum analyzersThe ad says“Practical lab skills: confident with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and board rework.”
