Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Lead schematic capture and PCB design for mixed‑signal systems (analogue, digital, and power).
- Design and validate power systems: switching regulators, buck converters, DC‑DC converters, power sequencing and thermal design.
- Perform circuit simulation and analysis using PSpice, LTspice (and similar tools); validate stability, transient and thermal behavior.
- Implement and validate high‑speed digital interfaces and signal‑integrity best practices (impedance control, routing, termination).
- Design and integrate FPGAs and digital peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.); support FPGA‑to‑PCB interfaces and constraints.
- Use Mentor Graphics tools (Xpedition/Expedition, HyperLynx where applicable) for schematic, layout, DRC, and signal‑integrity checks.
- Prototype bring‑up, debug boards in lab (oscilloscope, logic analyzers, power analyzers) and support failure analysis.
- Produce clear documentation: schematics, BOMs, layout notes, test plans, and design reviews.
- Mentor and tutor junior/mid‑level engineers: teach schematic capture, simulation workflows, PCB layout principles, debugging methods and design tradeoffs.
- Provide design reviews and actionable guidance to accelerate problem solving and reduce iteration cycles.
Requirements:
- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or equivalent).
- 7+ years practical experience in PCB schematic and layout for mixed‑signal systems (analogue + digital + power).
- Proven experience with switching regulators and buck converters (topology selection, loop compensation, layout considerations).
- Proficiency with PSpice and/or LTspice for circuit simulation and analysis.
- Strong knowledge of high‑speed design practices and signal integrity fundamentals.
- Hands‑on experience with FPGA integration and common digital buses (I2C, SPI, UART).
- Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition (schematic and PCB layout workflows).
- Practical lab skills: board bring‑up, measurement equipment, debugging methodologies.
- Experience mentoring or teaching engineers, with clear communication and documentation skills.
Nice‑to‑have:
- Experience with HyperLynx or other SI/PI tools.
- Familiarity with power system thermal and EMC/EMI mitigation techniques.
- Experience with production support, DFM/DFX and vendor interaction.
- Prior experience developing internal training materials or running workshops.
Personal attributes
Patient, clear teacher who can explain complex concepts in simple terms.
Strong problem‑solving mindset and pragmatic approach to tradeoffs.
Good verbal and written communication; able to lead design reviews and present technical findings.
Collaborative, comfortable working across hardware, firmware and manufacturing teams.
Tools & environments
EDA: Mentor Graphics Xpedition/Expedition, Altium or Cadence knowledge a plus.
Simulation: PSpice, LTspice.
Lab: oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzer (preferable).
Version control and issue tracking tools.
Deliverables / success metrics (examples)
Robust schematics and PCB layouts delivered on schedule with minimal rework.
Stable power supplies meeting electrical and thermal specs in first prototype iterations.
Reduction in recurring design errors through mentoring and shared best practices.
Documented training materials and improved junior engineer performance.
