Junior Hardware Engineer – Automotive

About the role

Join ALTEN Delivery Center Morocco as a Junior Hardware Engineer working on automotive projects. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team delivering PCB designs for embedded systems.

Key responsibilities

• Place electronic components such as ICs, resistors, capacitors and connectors on PCB layouts.
• Route signal, power and ground traces while managing multilayer stack‑ups.
• Ensure signal integrity, EMC/EMI compliance, thermal performance and overall reliability.
• Apply design rules and manufacturing constraints (DFM, DFA, DFT).
• Prepare manufacturing files including Gerbers, ODB++, pick‑and‑place data and BOM.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to resolve layout issues.

Required profile

• Master’s degree (BAC+5) in embedded systems or related engineering field.
• At least one year of successful experience in electronics, hardware engineering or PCB physical layout.
• Strong understanding of electronics schematics and component datasheets.
• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes and IPC standards (IPC‑2221, IPC‑7351, IPC‑A‑610 a plus).
• Basic knowledge of signal and power integrity concepts.
• Attention to detail, problem‑solving ability and effective cross‑team communication.

Required skills

• PCB layout and component placement.
• Signal routing, power and ground trace design.
• Multilayer stack‑up management.
• Signal integrity and EMC/EMI analysis.
• Design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA/DFT).
• Generation of Gerber, ODB++ and pick‑and‑place files.
• Familiarity with IPC standards.
• Reading and interpreting component datasheets and application notes.

What we offer

• Diverse career paths with internal, sectoral, geographic and functional mobility.
• Certified and diploma‑granting training programs.
• Regular events designed to foster well‑being and high performance.
