Zusammenfassung

Neura Robotics is seeking a PCB Design & Electrical Engineer to own the board from concept to production release in Metzingen. You will capture schematics in Altium Designer, design multi-layer PCBs, and drive verification, DFM, and NPIs with hardware, firmware, and mechanical teams.

You will optimize signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management, qualify components, and coordinate with PCB fabs to ensure manufacturability at scale.

Qualifikationen

• Experience designing high-layer PCBs with Altium Designer.
• Ability to verify designs with DRC/ER C checks and simulations.
• Familiarity with multi-sheet schematics and complex interfaces.
• Knowledge of CAN-FD, EtherCAT, SPI, I2C and USB interfaces.
• Understanding of signal, power integrity, and thermal management.

Aufgaben

• Schematic design: Capture complex multi-sheet schematics in Altium Designer for power stages, MCU/SoC support, sensors, and buses.
• PCB layout: Create 4–16 layer boards with SI/PI, EMC routing, and thermal management.
• Design verification: Run DRC/ERC checks and pre/post-layout simulations; participate in design reviews.
• NPI and DFM: Prepare manufacturing docs (Gerber/ODB++, BoM) and coordinate with fabs and contract manufacturers.
• Bring-up and debugging: Lead board bring-up in the lab using test equipment to diagnose issues end-to-end.
• Component qualification: Select and qualify components; manage lifecycle risks and AVL maintenance.
• Prototype to series transition: Drive iterations through DVT/PVT and support testing for production release.

Jobbeschreibung

PCB Design & Electrical Engineer (human)

Neura Robotics Metzingen

This is where Artificial Intelligence comes to life

The Hardware Department is at the heart of developing our high-performance and innovative robots. It's in charge of designing, constructing, and optimizing the robot's physical components, including mechanical parts, sensors, and electrical systems. The team collaborates closely with other departments, like software development and product management, to ensure that the hardware aligns seamlessly with software and system requirements. This involves tasks like mechanical design and prototyping of components, using CAD tools and 3D printing technologies.

from today

You own the board — from first schematic to a production release.

NEURA Robotics builds all kinds of robots packed with power electronics, high-speed digital interfaces, precision analog sensing, and dense mixed-signal layouts — all in the smallest possible form factor. We need someone who can take a PCBA from concept to a production-released, DFM-compliant design and own every step in between. You'll work directly with our hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineers to bring up new boards fast and make them manufacturable at scale.

Your mission & challenges

• 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).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Prototype to series transition: Drive design iterations through DVT/PVT stages; support PCBA test development (ICT, functional test fixtures) and work with quality engineering on failure analysis
