This is an opportunity to work on complex, high-speed, multi-layer PCB designs using the latest technologies, collaborating closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and test engineers throughout the entire product development lifecycle.

If you enjoy solving challenging layout problems, working with advanced technologies, and seeing your designs deployed in real-world applications, we'd like to hear from you.

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and delivery of complex printed circuit boards used in advanced embedded computing platforms.

include:

Designing high-performance multilayer PCBs for aerospace, defence and industrial applications
Translating electrical and mechanical requirements into robust, manufacturable PCB layouts
Performing component placement, constraint definition, routing and design optimisation
Supporting signal integrity and power integrity considerations throughout the design process
Working closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and test engineers to achieve optimum product performance
Participating in design reviews and contributing technical input to architecture and implementation decisions
Creating fabrication, assembly and manufacturing documentation
Supporting Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Test (DFT) activities
Ensuring designs meet quality, reliability and compliance requirements

Our products incorporate a broad range of advanced technologies, including:

High-speed digital interfaces

Gigabit Ethernet
HDI and sequential build PCB technologies
Complex multilayer architectures
High-speed signal routing and constraint-driven design

We're interested in engineers who combine strong technical PCB design skills with a practical engineering mindset and a passion for delivering high-quality products.

Extensive experience designing complex PCBs in a commercial engineering environment
Strong understanding of PCB design principles and best practices
Experience with high-speed digital design and layout techniques
Knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly and test requirements
Familiarity with HDI technologies and multilayer PCB construction
Experience working within cross-functional engineering teams

Experience using Siemens EDA Xpedition tools, including:
Xpedition Layout
Xpedition Designer
CES
EDM
Fablink
Experience supporting signal integrity and power integrity analysis
Experience working in aerospace, defence, embedded computing or other high-reliability industries

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent industry experience
Typically 10+ years of PCB design experience involving complex, high-speed electronic products
Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs

Work on technically challenging, market-leading products
Be part of a highly experienced PCB engineering team
Collaborate with engineers across hardware, mechanical, manufacturing and systems disciplines
Contribute to products deployed in mission-critical applications around the world
