Senior PCB Design Engineer, Power Electronics Lead

RiseMe; Burnsville (MN); On-site; USD 110,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Trystar is seeking a Staff PCB Design Engineer – Power Electronics to lead PCB design for high-power conversion systems across multiple sites. The role requires close collaboration with electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and compliance teams to translate requirements into robust PCB assemblies from concept through production release.

You will own layouts for high-voltage/high-current power electronics, develop standards, mentor junior designers, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field with 7+ years of relevant PCB design experience.
• Experience with complex PCB layout using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor / OrCAD or comparable tools.
• Demonstrated ability to take complex PCB designs from schematic to production-ready documentation.
• Experience designing mixed high-voltage, high-current, analog/digital, high-speed PCBs, including 100+ A paths.
• Strong understanding of stackups, impedance, vias, coatings, and manufacturing capabilities.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB safety/regulatory requirements.
• Ability to lead PCB design reviews and mentor junior designers.

Responsibilities

• Lead PCB placement and routing for complex power electronics including gate-driver, control, sensing, communications, and I/O.
• Own PCB designs from floorplanning through layout, fabrication docs, and production release.
• Develop layouts for high-voltage/high-current power conversion systems up to 2000 VDC / 600 VAC.
• Apply creepage/clearance, insulation coordination, grounding, thermal, EMI/EMC, and signal/power integrity best practices.
• Define stackups, controlled impedance, routing constraints, copper requirements, vias, and fabrication specs.
• Collaborate with electrical/mechanical engineers on schematic, floorplanning, packaging, and ECAD/MCAD integration.
• Coordinate with PCB fabricators/CMs to resolve DFM/DFA, testability, and production issues.
• Create/maintain footprints, padstacks, symbols, constraints; lead design reviews; mentor others.
• Support environmental and regulatory requirements including UL, IEC, IEEE, IPC standards.
• Design PCB-based test hardware including interface boards, fixtures, and test jigs.
