About The Role
In this role, you will contribute to the development of highquality printed circuit board designs that enable reliable and efficient embedded electronic products. You will collaborate closely with crossfunctional teams to deliver PCB layouts that meet performance, manufacturability, compliance, and cost objectives. You will be accountable for endtoend PCB design activities and ensuring that deliverables align with Schneider Electric's quality and operationalexcellence standards.
What Will You Do
- Partner with Hardware, Firmware, Mechanical, Industrialization, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to define PCB design requirements and ensure alignment with overall product architecture.
- Execute PCB layout activities including component placement, routing, layer stackup definition, and constraintdriven design using industrystandard EDA tools.
- Apply advanced constraintmanagement techniques, including differentialpair rules, highspeed timing constraints, impedancecontrolled routing, and classbased constraints for complex designs.
- Perform traceimpedance planning and verification, working with vendors on stackup proposals and impedance coupons to ensure proper SI/PI performance.
- Execute highfrequency routing techniques, including differential pairs, matchedlength buses, skew control, and timingdriven routing for highspeed digital interfaces.
- Generate complete and accurate documentation packages, including fabrication files (Gerber/ODB++), assembly drawings, PCB specifications, and IPCaligned documentation.
- Apply design rules and industry standards (IPC2221/2222, creepage/clearance requirements, EMC/EMI practices) to ensure electrical performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
- Collaborate with schematic owners to provide placement guidance, routing recommendations, and feedback on component selection from a layout, manufacturability, and lifecycle perspective.
- Drive DFM, DFA, and DFT improvements through proactive engagement with Industrialization and external manufacturing partners.
- Interface directly with PCB vendors to address stackup questions, material selection, impedance modeling, manufacturability concerns, and fabricationrelated inquiries.
- Participate in formal design reviews, ensuring that all PCBrelated risks are identified, communicated, and mitigated.
- Support prototype development and assist with debug activities, including analysis of layoutrelated issues (signal integrity, power integrity, thermal concerns, or manufacturability problems).
- Perform sustainingengineering tasks such as redesigning layouts for alternate components, addressing obsolescence, or supporting productenhancement initiatives.
- Maintain design libraries, adhere to configurationmanagement practices, and support continuous improvement across PCB design processes and tools.
- Perform additional responsibilities as assigned to support project or departmental objectives.
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, or a related technical field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- 10+ years of experience in PCB design for embedded electronic systems, including multilayer boards and mixedsignal or highspeed circuits.
- Strong knowledge of PCB layout principles, stackup design, routing constraints, and the endtoend fabrication/assembly process.
- Experience with complex Constraint Manager environments (e.g., Cadence Allegro/OrCAD), including impedance rules, differentialpair constraints, lengthmatching, and highspeed timing rules.
- Handson powersupply layout experience (DCDC converters, highcurrent paths, thermal and noisesensitive placement) is a strong plus.
- Experience with industrystandard EDA tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Xpedition, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with safety, EMC/EMI, and IPC standards relevant to PCB design.
- Experience working directly with PCB fabricators to resolve technical questions, review stackups, and validate impedance requirements is preferred.
Skills & Attributes
- Demonstrated ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a crossfunctional environment.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
- Detailoriented mindset with proven problemsolving abilities.
- Willingness to learn new technologies, tools, and processes.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining high quality and meeting schedule commitments.
