Job description

Senior PCB Design & Layout Engineer, Power-Voltage-Stepping Apps

Bleeding Edge Ohio Based Technology Firm, Newly Created Role, Tremendous Growth Potential.

We're seeking a Senior PCB Design & Layout Engineer with a focus on Power Management Applications: Drive the full lifecycle (requirements to release) of advanced, small-form-factor PCBs for high-voltage, power management, and power-conversion systems. You will work in a fast-paced, small-team environment owning complex designs, executing LTSpice simulations, writing light bring-up code, and collaborating with mechanical and ASIC teams.

Key Responsibilities

• PCB Lifecycle & Layout: Lead schematic capture, layout, stackup design, and DFM/DFT for space-constrained, high-density PCBs.
• Power & Thermal Design: Optimize step-up/step-down converters, high-voltage switching, isolation, creepage/clearance, and thermal dissipation.
• Simulation & Bring-Up: Conduct LTSpice power circuit simulations; write basic test scripts (C/C++/Python/Arduino) for bench testing and board bring-up.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with ASIC, firmware, and mechanical engineers to integrate custom blocks and ensure system reliability.

Qualifications

• Education & Experience: BS in EE, CE, Physics, or related field + 7–10+ years of PCB design experience.
• Core Technical Skills: Expertise in power management (buck/boost, high-voltage, discrete power, battery systems) and micro/irregular PCB footprints.
• EDA & Tooling: Proficiency in Altium Designer is a plus; LTSpice experience preferred.
• Testing & Hardware: Hands-on experience with bench test equipment, power testing-voltage and basic embedded programming for validation.

Preferred Experience

• Integrating ASIC-based power/analog ICs, HDI layouts, and thermal modeling.
• Ruggedized electronics and deep knowledge of PCB fabrication constraints.
• Experience with small-discreet-miniature type PCB's; PCB’s for wearable devices and/or experience with odd-shaped PCB sizing is also a plus.
