• Designing and debugging high-speed interfaces like HDMI, LVDS, DDR, PCIe, and USB.
• Familiarity with high-speed PCB routing techniques, including differential pair routing and controlled impedance.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware requirements, microcontrollers, and processors.
• Strong troubleshooting skills to resolve PCB design issues.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) for design failures.
• Understanding of IPC standards for PCB design.
• Hands-on soldering and resoldering of components.
• Proficiency in preparing test formats and procedures for Prototype testing.
• Experience in BOM preparation and component selection.

Responsibilities -

• Create and develop multilayer PCB layouts using Altium Designer and Cadence Allegro
• Design high-speed and analog PCBs with consideration for signal integrity, impedance control, and thermal management.
• Optimize PCB designs for manufacturability (DFM) and testability (DFT).
• Collaborate with hardware teams to convert schematics into PCB layouts.
• Ensure proper component placement, trace routing, and adherence to design specifications.
• Implement design rules checks (DRC) and resolve any layout violations.
• Design PCBs for high-speed interfaces (e.g., HDMI, USB, Ethernet, LVDS, DDR memory).
• Work on mixed-signal circuits, integrating analog and digital components effectively.
• Ensure designs meet EMI/EMC compliance standards by applying grounding, shielding, and filtering techniques.
• Conduct PCB reviews for potential electromagnetic interference issues and mitigate risks.
• Create prototypes and validate designs through extensive testing.
• Use lab equipment like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers for debugging and troubleshooting.
• Assist in the assembly and testing of first prototypes for design validation.
• Collaborate with procurement teams to select components for the design.
• Prepare and maintain Bills of Materials (BOM) with proper documentation.
• Generate detailed documentation, including design files, test plans, and user manuals.
• Update and maintain design revisions in ERP systems or central locations.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers, to ensure seamless integration of designs.
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders regarding project progress and challenges.
• Design PCBs following IPC standards, ISO 9001:2015, and other relevant industry guidelines.
• Continuously improve design techniques and implement best practices for PCB development.
• Stay updated with the latest tools, technologies, and industry trends to enhance design efficiency.
• Perform failure analysis for field returns and implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Support Production and test engineers during pilot runs and troubleshooting.
• Train and mentor junior engineers on best practices in PCB design and development.
• Review and approve designs created by junior team members.
• Providing technical support to PCB manufacturers and EMS vendors
