This is a great opportunity to be part of an organisation operating at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, working on exciting products. In this role, you will collaborate with internal stakeholders to receive design specifications and complete designs primarily for Applications, Validation, Reliability and ATE PCB requirements.
Main Responsibilities:
- Design complex, multi‑layer, high-density interconnect PCBs, consisting of multiple lamination cycles and via structures, from schematic capture through manufacturing release.
- Translate schematics, system requirements, and signal‑integrity constraints into robust, manufacturable board layouts at sub 0.4 mm pitch.
- Drive high‑speed design practices, including impedance‑controlled routing, differential pair tuning, length matching, and power‑integrity optimization.
- Collaborate closely with IC design, packaging, hardware, mechanical, and engineering teams to ensure seamless integration across the full product stack.
- Adhere to DFM, DFF, DFT, resolve manufacturability issues, and ensure compliance with industry standards and internal quality guidelines.
- Oversee the generation of fabrication and assembly documentation, including Gerbers, ODB++, drawings, and build notes.
- Champion continuous improvement in design workflows, automation, and tool utilization to increase efficiency and design quality.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- An Electrical or Electronic Engineering national qualification or equivalent
- Demonstrable experience in the PCB layout field
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard ECAD tools, such as Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, or Siemens/Mentor Graphics.
- Thorough understanding of mix-signal, HDI, complex via stack-ups and WLCSP design principles.
- In-depth knowledge of IPC standards and design for manufacturing (DFM) guidelines.
- Conduct design reviews, provide guidance to junior designers, and uphold best‑practice methodologies across the layout team.
- Producing deliverables to defined schedules, ensuring timelines are met
- Strong communication, analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
- Strong desire to be part of a cohesive culture and strong design team.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
- Strong knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes.
- Knowledge of ATE (HIBs, PIBs, Probe Cards) and semiconductor reliability stress (HAST/HTOL) hardware.
- Experience and understanding of AI tools and how they can enable design efficiency
- CID and CID+ certification.
