In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Create and maintain PCB component libraries, including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and related design attributes in accordance with industry standards and company guidelines.
Extract mechanical, electrical, thermal, and assembly-related information from component datasheets to develop accurate library parts and design constraints.
Validate component footprints and land patterns against manufacturer recommendations and applicable IPC standards.
Design and develop high-density multilayer PCB layouts (6-22 layers) for analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics designs.
Define PCB stack-ups, component placement, routing strategies, and design constraints.
Apply EMI/EMC design practices to ensure robust product performance and regulatory compliance.
Implement clearance, creepage, and safety requirements to support UL and related certifications.
Generate manufacturing-ready PCB documentation and release packages.
Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, manufacturing, and sourcing teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
Ensure designs meet DFM, DFA, and DFT requirements for efficient assembly, testability, and production.
Support prototype builds, design reviews, and resolution of fabrication and assembly issues.
Periodically review, update and develop Check lists, Process documents, PCB specs, Knowledge base and Quality documents in line with latest technology trends.
