Circuit Board Design Specialist

Job Description : Remote PCB Designer

Location : Fully Remote

Position Type : 6-Month Contract (with possibility of extension)

Position Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated PCB Designer to join our engineering team on a contract basis. This is a fully remote, offshore position. As a key contributor to our product development lifecycle, you will be responsible for translating schematic designs into robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. You will work on a variety of exciting projects, including new power supplies, advanced LED light engines, and other proprietary electronic products that are core to companies success.

The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in PCB design principles, a keen eye for detail, and a practical understanding of real-world design considerations for power electronics, including noise reduction and thermal management.

Key Responsibilities

• PCB Layout & Design : Transform electrical schematics into high-quality, multi-layer PCB layouts using Autodesk Eagle as the primary design tool.
• Design for Excellence : Implement best practices for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management to ensure product performance and reliability.
• EMC / EMI Mitigation : Proactively apply design techniques to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), including proper grounding, component placement, trace routing, and shielding.
• Component & Library Management : Create and maintain schematic symbols and PCB footprints for new components, ensuring they adhere to IPC standards and internal guidelines.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM / DFA) : Collaborate with the engineering team and potential manufacturing partners to ensure layouts are optimized for efficient fabrication, assembly, and testing.
• Documentation : Generate and manage comprehensive manufacturing data packages, including Gerbers, drill files, bill of materials (BOMs), pick-and-place files, and detailed assembly drawings.
• Collaboration & Review : Work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to resolve design challenges, meet physical constraints, and participate in formal design reviews to ensure all requirements are met.
• Prototyping Support : Assist the engineering team during the prototype bring-up and testing phase by providing design insights and making necessary revisions.

Required Qualifications & Skills

however, candidates with strong experience in other industry-standard tools like Altium Designer, KiCad, or OrCAD will be considered as well.
