PCB Design Engineer

Project overview

This is a contract PCB Design Engineer role in Pune focused on developing high-performance multilayer PCB layouts for power-electronic and high-speed applications. The core requirement is expert Altium Designer capability, with at least 5 years in Altium and hands-on PCB design experience; the description also specifies power, mixed-signal, high-voltage/high-current, and multilayer layout work. CAM350 or Gerber-viewer knowledge and familiarity with IPC standards are relevant, while Cadence Allegro or Xpedition is an added advantage.

The structured experience band is 7–11 years, compared with the description’s minimum of 6 years, and only immediate joiners are requested. Work mode is not specified; the role is located in Pune and is listed as contract.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop 2-layer to 16-layer PCB layouts using Altium Designer and Xpedition at Pune location.
• Create and maintain PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and component libraries following IPC standards.
• Perform component placement considering thermal, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability requirements.
• Design high-current and high-voltage PCBs with proper creepage and clearance requirements.
• Layout power electronics circuits such as: AC/DC Power Supplies, DC/DC Converters, Motor Drives, Battery Charging Systems, LED Drivers and Inverters and Power Control Boards
• Implement EMI/EMC design practices during placement and routing.
• Perform controlled impedance routing and differential pair routing where required.
• Multilayer PCB Design, High Current & High Voltage Layouts, Mixed Signal PCB Design, Thermal Management Techniques, Copper Pour Optimization and HDI, Blind/Buried Vias
• Generate manufacturing outputs including: ODB++, IPC-2581, Assembly Drawings, Fabrication Drawings, Pick & Place Files, BOM Documentation.
• Conduct design reviews and resolve DFM, DFA, and DFT issues.
• Work with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors for successful product realization.
• Manage ECOs and design revisions throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Expert Altium Designer proficiency, with 5+ years of experience
• Hands-on PCB design and layout experience, with 6+ years of experience
• Multilayer PCB layout design, including 2- to 16-layer boards
• PCB layout for power-electronics applications
• High-speed and mixed-signal PCB layout
• High-current and high-voltage PCB layout, including creepage and clearance considerations
• CAM350 or Gerber viewer tools
• PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and component libraries using IPC standards
• B.E./B.Tech in Electronics and Communication, Electrical and Electronics, Instrumentation, or a related discipline
