Hardware Engineer – PCB Design

About the role

As a Hardware Engineer you will be responsible for PCB layout and component placement within our engineering projects. You will ensure signal integrity, thermal performance and compliance with manufacturing constraints while collaborating with cross‑functional teams.

Key responsibilities

• Place electronic components (ICs, resistors, capacitors, connectors, etc.) on PCB layouts.
• Route signal, power, and ground traces to meet design specifications.
• Manage multilayer stack‑ups and define layer structures.
• Ensure signal integrity, EMC/EMI compliance, thermal performance and overall reliability.
• Apply design rules and manufacturing constraints such as DFM, DFA and DFT.
• Prepare manufacturing files including Gerbers, ODB++, pick‑and‑place files and Bill of Materials.

Required profile

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

Required skills

• PCB layout and component placement.
• Signal, power and ground routing.
• Multilayer stack‑up management.
• Signal integrity and EMC/EMI analysis.
• Thermal performance assessment.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Assembly (DFA) and Testing (DFT).
• Generation of Gerber, ODB++ and pick‑and‑place files.
• Bill of Materials (BOM) preparation.
• Familiarity with IPC‑2221, IPC‑7351, IPC‑A‑610 standards.
