Job description

Experience 3+ yrs

Location Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, reviewing, and optimizing complex printed circuit boards for high-performance electronics. You will work closely with firmware, mechanical, and system teams to translate specifications into reliable, manufacturable designs that meet stringent performance and cost targets. Your expertise will drive the selection of components, trace routing, and impedance control for high‑speed signals while ensuring compliance with industry standards and reliability requirements. You will also contribute to process improvement, provide technical mentorship to junior designers, and support production by resolving design‑to‑manufacturing issues and preparing detailed documentation.

Requirements

• Develop and iterate PCB layouts using Altium Designer for both low‑ and high‑speed applications.
• Perform signal integrity analysis, impedance control, and power integrity optimization on high‑speed interfaces.
• Collaborate with component vendors to evaluate libraries, footprints, and performance data for selected parts.
• Create and maintain Design Rules, Manufacturing Data, and Board Support Packages (BSP) for efficient production.
• Evaluate prototypes, analyze test data, and implement design corrections to achieve performance goals.
• Lead design reviews, capture defects, and coordinate fixes across multidisciplinary teams.
• Prepare RF and EMI compliance drawings as part of the validation process.
• Document design decisions, revisions, and version control in a clear, traceable manner.
• Mentor junior PCB designers and share best practices for layout, simulation, and documentation.
• Keep abreast of new high‑speed interface standards (PCIe, DDR, USB 3.x, Ethernet) and integrate them into design workflows.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• Minimum 3+ years of hands‑on experience designing high‑speed PCBs for consumer or embedded systems.
• Proficient in Altium Designer, with a strong track record of delivering production‑ready designs.
• Solid knowledge of high‑speed interface standards such as PCIe, DDR, USB 3.x, and Ethernet.
• Skilled in signal integrity simulation tools (ADS, HyperLynx, SIwave) and power integrity analysis.
• Experience with component evaluation, PCB fabrication, and assembly processes.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem‑solving abilities.
• Excellent communication skills in both written and verbal English.
• Ability to work autonomously and collaborate effectively in cross‑functional teams.
• A proactive mindset, staying current with industry trends and continuously improving design methodologies.
