Job summary

Siemens Energy is seeking a skilled design engineer to develop advanced PCB solutions for demanding power electronic applications. You will lead schematic and layout activities, optimize high-voltage and thermal performance, and collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to ensure robust product deployment.

The role requires a Master’s in Electrical Engineering or Power Electronics, strong PCB development experience, and hands-on lab measurement expertise.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.
• Experience in development and production of PCB-based power electronic components/systems.
• Experience with PCB development standards, guidelines, and procedures.
• Knowledge of boundary conditions for PCB: power, voltage, current, temperature; future technologies like embedding and high-power integration.
• Experience with lab measurement equipment (function generator, oscilloscope, high-performance probes, impedance analyzer).
• Understanding of Power Loop design and accurate measurements in harsh environments.

Responsibilities

• Develop PCBs in Schematic and Layout (placement, routing, stack, manufacturability).
• Define and implement PCB design guidelines for HV, high-current, thermally demanding, and EMC-critical applications.
• Integrate high-performance PCB elements such as Inlay-board, heavy copper, multilayer.
• Select electrical components and maintain component libraries.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders throughout the development process.
• Manage testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, performance evaluation, and produce technical docs and training materials.

Job description

Siemens Energy and Siemens Gamesa are becoming Omterra. \"We energize society\" by supporting our customers to make the transition to a more sustainable world, based on innovative technologies and our ability to turn ideas into reality. With nearly 100,000 employees around the world, we shape the energy systems of today and tomorrow.

In this role, you will design and develop advanced PCB solutions for demanding power electronic applications, from schematic and layout creation through testing and validation. You will work closely with engineering teams, suppliers, and technology partners to optimize performance in areas such as high voltage, thermal management, and EMC. Your day will also involve hands‑on laboratory work, troubleshooting, and creating the technical documentation needed to support successful product deployment.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Develop PCBs in Schematic and Layout (placement, routing, stack, manufacturability)
• Define and implement PCB design guidelines for high-voltage, high-current, thermally demanding, and EMC‑critical applications
• Integrate high performance PCB elements as Inlay-board, heavy copper, Multilayer
• Select electrical components and build and maintain component libraries
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders throughout the development process
• Manage testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation, and create technical documentation and training materials

What You Bring

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
• Professional experience in development and production of PCB based (power) electronic components / systems
• Experience in standards, guidelines and procedures in respect to PCB Development
• Special knowledge: Boundary conditions for PCB (power, voltage, current, temperature); future technologies (e.g. embedding, high-power integration); connection technology (high power, manufacturability, multi‑layer PCB stack)
• Experience with laboratory measurement equipment (function generator, Oscilloscope, high performance probes, Impedance analyzer)
• Know how for: Power Loop design, accurate measurement in harsh environments (close to power loop)
