Job Description
We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced PCB Layout Engineer to join our power electronics R&D team. You will focus on the physical design of PCBs (including control boards, power supply boards, and high-power boards) for various power electronic products in new power distribution systems.
Requirements
- PCB physical design: Independently complete the layout and routing of multi-layer boards based on design specifications provided by hardware engineers.
- Collaborative design & rule definition: Work closely with hardware engineers to understand and interpret requirements, and jointly define detailed PCB layout and routing constraint rules.
- Power electronics-specific design: Optimize the layout of high-voltage and high-current paths to minimize parasitic inductance and loop area.
- EMC & safety design: Strictly ensure creepage and clearance distances in the layout; enhance EMC performance by optimizing ground planes, shielding, and filter placement.
- Thermal design: Design effective thermal dissipation paths for power devices and heat-generating components, including thermal pads, via arrays, and interface coordination with heat sinks.
- Signal integrity: Ensure the integrity of critical sensitive signals (e.g., sampling, gate drive signals) and avoid interference.
- Design output & documentation: Generate all necessary production files (Gerber, drill files, assembly drawings, solder paste stencil files, etc.).
- Design verification & support: Participate in PCB design reviews; support SI/PI/thermal simulation engineers in pre-layout and post-layout simulations.
- Assist in resolving PCB-related technical issues encountered during prototyping, mass production, and testing.
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Benefits package
- Opportunities for professional growth and development
