High-Speed PCB Design Engineer — Bring-Up & Fab-Ready

Cyber Assessment Labs; Sydney; On-site; AUD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Cyber Assessment Labs is seeking an experienced Hardware Engineer to advance an existing PCB to fab-ready production and bring-up. You will perform schematic refinement, placement and routing, generate manufacturing outputs, and support initial testing and debugging on a high-speed board.

You will apply controlled-impedance stackups, differential-pair routing, impedance control, and rigorous signal integrity practices while coordinating USB-C/PD, multi-rail power, and video paths from

Qualifications

• Strong experience designing and laying out production PCBs.
• High-speed digital PCB design experience.
• Schematic capture and PCB layout experience in KiCad.
• Experience with controlled-impedance PCB stackups.
• Strong understanding of differential-pair routing, impedance control, grounding and signal integrity.
• Experience designing and debugging multi-rail power systems.
• Experience preparing fabrication, assembly and BOM outputs for PCB manufacturers.

Responsibilities

• Review the existing board schematic and identify design issues, risks or required improvements.
• Complete component placement and PCB routing using KiCad.
• Design and route high-speed interfaces on a controlled-impedance stackup suitable for manufacture, applying differential-pair routing and impedance control.
• Review and validate the board's multi-rail power architecture.
• Configure and validate USB-C and USB Power Delivery functionality, including PD negotiation.
• Resolve DRC issues against custom board design rules.
• Prepare fab-ready Gerbers, manufacturing outputs, and a BOM and assembly/pick-and-place files.
• Support initial board manufacture, bring-up, testing and hardware debugging.
• Validate and troubleshoot the complete video path from DisplayPort → HDMI → MIPI CSI-2.
• Troubleshoot power, signal-integrity and interface issues during bring-up.
