Layout Engineer

Job Description
To pursue our ambitious vision, we are looking for a Layout Engineer. In this role, you will turn power electronics designs into flight-ready PCBs — owning the layout from component placement to fabrication outputs. Your Mission Will Be To
• Design power PCBs: high-current layout, heavy copper, busbars, creepage/clearance, and EMC-driven layout practices.
• Lay out mixed-signal boards: gate drive circuits, analog sensing chains, and MCU/digital sections with clean grounding and partitioning.
• Own the layout flow: library and footprint management, stackup definition, design rules, and fabrication outputs (Gerbers, drawings, assembly data).
• Work with PCB manufacturers and assemblers: DFM/DFA reviews, and support during fabrication and assembly.
• Support prototype bring-up and EMC testing, feeding lessons learned back into layout practices. Requirements
• Professional engineering education (MSc or equivalent) in electrical engineering or equivalent experience, with 5+ years of hands-on PCB layout experience across power and mixed-signal boards.
• Proficiency in KiCad, or solid experience with Altium/other tools and a willingness to learn.
• Understanding of power electronics layout constraints: switching loops, parasitics, thermal management, creepage/clearance.
• Knowledge of EMC-driven layout: grounding strategies, return paths, filter placement, shielding.
• Knowledge with PCB fabrication and assembly processes: stackups, heavy copper, via technologies.
• Strong analytical skills, a proactive attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and unbounded curiosity.
• You enjoy owning your scope end-to-end.
• Professional level English — further languages welcome. Nice To Have
• Experience in space, aerospace, energy sector, downhole equipment, oceanographic, or other high-reliability industries.
• Experience with high-voltage or high-current board design.
• Familiarity with thermal simulation or signal/power integrity analysis.
• Schematic capture experience and good circuit-level understanding.
