Senior PCB Designer

About Us

We're building deeply intelligent UAVs for defense forces - designed to out-think, outmaneuver, and dominate even in contested environments. Our mission is to give the armed forces an undeniable edge and help safeguard peace across borders. We move fast, challenge limits, and obsess over building technology that redefines whats possible. If you are driven to build something truly transformational then this is it.

Location: Bengaluru-562149 | KIADB Aerospace park, near BLR International Airport.

Experience: 5+ years

Type: Full-time

Job brief

We're seeking exceptional PCB Design Engineer to revolutionize Defence technology! Bring your creativity and expertise to the table as you design innovative printed circuit boards that power our next-generation drones with our collaborative team.

Required Skills

• Well versed with PCB layout and routing in one or all of the following areas: modern passive and active electronics components, surface-mount, RF components, fine pitch and high pin density components
• Insight into PCB fabrication, design for manufacturing techniques for high volume designs, assembly, and tests
• Experience with Altium Designer
• Experience with layout of mixed, analog and digital designs, high speed buses, power supplies, DC-DC converters, transmission lines, impedance-controlled traces, and power traces
• Experience with reading schematics, placing for low parasitic capacitance, inductance, and PCB layout techniques for power electronics circuits
• Extensive experience with Altium net classes, high voltage rules, variants, and rooms
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with others
• A good understanding of MIL-STD, commercial and IPC standards and design
• Experience in monitoring industry-wide parts

Desired Skills

• Experience with electronic circuit designing and testing, microcontroller-based designs, sensor interfacing, communication buses SPI, I2C, UART, CAN etc.
• Experience of designing power electronic boards like SMPS, DC-DC converters, filter circuitry.
• Experience with designing multilayer PCBs with proficiency in industry-standard PCB designing tools like Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, etc.
• Strong understanding of high-speed design principles, impedance control, and differential pair routing.
• Experience in RF design, signal routing and hands-on testing using sophisticated lab equipment like spectrum analyzer.
• Knowledge of signal integrity simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx) is a plus.
• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and environmental robustness (vibration, temperature).
• Ability to debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools.
• Good soldering skills even with small pitch components.
• Familiarity with taking PCB layout through to completion of board files, generation of BOMs, and upload to PLM
• Familiarity with PCB track widths and copper weights needed when considering current and temperature of operation of the PCB
• Familiarity of the requirements for PCBs operating at frequencies as high as 6GHz.

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will:

• Determine layer stack up, perform component package selection, component placement, routing feasibility studies, and signal routing of digital, analog, RF, and power conversion of printed circuit boards (PCB)
• Work on library creation and maintenance.
• Create and release documentation for fabrication of PCBs.
• Collaborate with internal teams and PCB vendors to continually improve design rules and constraints.
• Utilize PCB design tools, maintain and evaluate new tools, and train team members to use the tools.

Degree and Experience:

• 5 years of related work experience in PCB Layout and Design.
• Education in electrical/electronics engineering or related discipline, specialization preferred.
