Electrical Engineer

PDW; Quinte West; On-site; CAD 80,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

PDW is seeking a Hardware Engineer to own end-to-end PCB design for digital and analog subsystems. You will create production-ready schematics, layouts, and fabrication docs with Altium Designer, and support bring-up and transition to manufacturing.

You will work closely with software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure reliability, manufacturability, and robust documentation throughout the lifecycle of each project.

Qualifications

• Proficient in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuit design.
• Experience with common communication interfaces in hardware designs.
• Experience performing hardware bring-up, validation, debugging and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with PCB fabrication and assembly processes.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop PCB assemblies and electronic subsystems with increasing ownership.
• Create production-ready schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication documentation, assembly drawings, and manufacturing outputs using Altium Designer.
• Support board bring-up, validation testing, debugging, and transition of designs into manufacturing.
• Apply DFM, DFT, and reliability principles throughout development.
• Perform root cause analysis and corrective actions on hardware failures and manufacturing issues.
• Collaborate with software, mechanical, manufacturing, product, and supply chain teams.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical recommendations.
• Maintain engineering documentation including BOMs, ECOs, validation reports, and design rationale.
• Take end-to-end ownership of defined electrical subsystems from concept to production support.

Job description

What You'll Do

• Design and develop PCB assemblies and electronic subsystems with increasing ownership and independence.
• Create production-ready schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication documentation, assembly drawings, and manufacturing outputs using Altium Designer.
• Support board bring-up, validation testing, debugging, and transition of designs into manufacturing.
• Apply design-for-manufacturability (DFM), design-for-test (DFT), and reliability principles throughout the development process.
• Perform root cause analysis and corrective actions on hardware failures and manufacturing issues.
• Collaborate closely with software, mechanical, manufacturing, product, and supply chain teams.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute technical recommendations.
• Maintain engineering documentation including BOMs, ECOs, validation reports, and design rationale.
• Take end-to-end ownership of well-defined electrical subsystems from concept through production support.

Requirements

• Strong Altium Designer experience with professional schematic capture and PCB layout development.
• Working knowledge of analog and digital circuit design principles.
• Experience designing circuits utilizing common communication interfaces.
• Experience performing hardware bring-up, validation testing, debugging, and troubleshooting activities.
• Familiarity with PCB fabrication and assembly processes.
