Job Overview

The PCB Layout Engineer role requires deep expertise in Altium Designer to create and deliver complex, multi-layer PCB layouts integrating RF, high-speed digital, and precision analog circuits. This technical role involves close collaboration with RF, digital, and analog engineers to meet performance, manufacturability, and reliability standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop complex PCB layouts from schematic capture to manufacturing release.
• Collaborate with RF, digital, and analog engineers to set layout strategies.
• Apply RF and analog techniques including controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, and isolation.
• Execute high-speed routing (DDR, Ethernet, SerDes, CAN, LVDS) with impedance control and length-matching.
• Define and optimise PCB stack-ups balancing electrical, thermal, and mechanical needs.
• Generate fabrication outputs including Gerbers, ODB++, drawings, and BOMs.
• Conduct DFM and DFT checks with fabrication/assembly partners.
• Support signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Perform 3D clearance and mechanical integration checks using MCAD collaboration tools.
• Participate in cross-functional design reviews with expert layout feedback.

Qualifications & Skills

Bachelor’s, Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related fields. Proven track record in complex PCB projects involving RF, digital, and analog subsystems. Advanced proficiency in Altium Designer is essential.

• Expertise in RF layout methods and high-speed design techniques.
• Thorough knowledge of PCB stack-up design, fabrication materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with IPC design standards (IPC-2221, IPC-6012, IPC-7351, etc.).
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Desired Skills

• Experience with HDI PCB designs in Altium Designer.
• Knowledge of thermal management for dense boards.
• Exposure to signal/power integrity and EMC simulation tools.
• Hands-on prototype bring-up, rework, and hardware debugging experience.
• Industry experience in aerospace or Satcom sectors is a plus.

Benefits

• Generous salary and annual bonus
• Stock options
• Contributory pension scheme
• 25 days annual leave plus public holidays
• Cycle-to-work scheme and car scheme (salary sacrifice)
• Free on-site gym and employee assistance programs
• Discounts platform
