Job Title: PCB Designer IoT & Battery-Powered Devices
Job Description:
WCO Global is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented PCB Designer with experience in designing hardware for IoT-based and battery-operated devices. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in electronics design, PCB layout, and an understanding of low-power embedded systems. This role involves close collaboration with the hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineering teams to create reliable and manufacturable PCB designs that meet product and performance specifications.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop PCB layouts and schematics for IoT and battery-powered devices.
- Develop and maintain component libraries including footprints and symbols.
- Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to finalize board dimensions, mounting, and placement.
- Perform design rule checks (DRC), electrical rule checks (ERC), and ensure compliance with IPC standards.
- Optimize PCB layouts for low power consumption, thermal performance, signal integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Generate Gerber files, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly files for prototype and production.
- Coordinate with fabrication and assembly vendors to ensure designs meet manufacturing requirements.
- Participate in design reviews and implement feedback.
Required Skills:
- Proficiency in PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCad.
- Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design.
- Experience in designing for battery-powered, low-power devices.
- Familiarity with IoT technologies and wireless protocols such as BLE, Wi-Fi, or LoRa.
- Good understanding of power management techniques and considerations.
- Knowledge of high-speed layout techniques, impedance control, and EMI/EMC best practices.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 13 years of relevant experience in PCB design, preferably in the IoT or embedded systems domain.
- Experience working on end-to-end product development cycles is a plus.
