PCB Electro-Mechanical Designer

PCB Electro-Mechanical Designer

The PCB Electro-Mechanical Designer is part of a team for product development of linear and switch-mode power supplies and has an integral role in creating high-density, mixed-technology printed circuit boards (PCBs) and their associated mechanical components.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical design, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet specifications using Design for Excellence principles

Verify PWB design through virtual modeling using CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks)

Participate in design reviews, implement design changes and resolve any issues during prototyping and production stages.

Contribute to the mechanical design and packaging (3D model) of linear and switch-mode power supplies (10W-30kW, 3V-10KV) used to power magnets, redundant processes, in applications requiring bidirectional and four quadrants, in analytical instrumentation, industrial test equipment, security and OEM power assemblies and supplies.

Adhere to standard PCB manufacturing processes to ensure quality, compliance, and reliability. Knowledge of IPC and UL standards, EMI / EMC as well as design provisions for automatic testing.

Generate Gerber files, assembly files and BOMs. Create detailed manufacturing instructions via 2D / 3D CAD drawings or MS Office.

Stay current with the latest PCB design trends and technologies through continuous learning, supporting both personal career growth and team capabilities.

Qualifications

Experience designing PCBs with CAD tools such as Altium, KiCAD, ORCAD or equivalent.

Experience in creating schematics and block diagrams using CAD / CAE

Knowledge of electronic circuit layout and electronic packaging principles.

Proficiency in PCB-related mechanical design and 3D packaging using AutoCAD, Inventor 3D, SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.

Ability to select the proper substrate, rigid, flexible, Cu weight, thru or blind vias and isolation techniques for analog and digital PWB design

Strong understanding of PCB assemblies’ fabrication processes and technologies

Knowledge of BOM and ERP systems.

Work with minimal supervision, able to multitask, excellent communication skills and ability to work in a team environment and productive with Office

Hands on abilities to assemble bread boards
