Next Steps: Interim PCB Design Engineer (Autumn batch 2026)

Join the team pushing the boundaries of wireless technology and semiconductor innovation. As an Interim PCB Design Engineer , you will work closely with hardware engineers to transform complex schematic designs into high-performance physical layouts. You will be responsible for ensuring that our boards are not only functional but also optimised for high-volume manufacturing and signal integrity.

Duration: 3 Months (Eligible for a PPO based on performance evaluation)

Monthly Compensation

Salary Range : ₹60k - ₹80k

Key Responsibilities

• High-Density Layout: Execute complex, multi-layer PCB layouts using Altium Designer or KiCad, focusing on space-constrained environments.

• Library Management: Maintain and create schematic symbols and PCB footprints in accordance with IPC-7351 standards.

• Manufacturing Optimization: Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturing), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test) principles to ensure seamless production cycles.

• Bring-up & Debug: Assist in the physical assembly, bring-up, and hardware debugging of breakout boards and prototypes.

• Version Control: Utilise Git for hardware design versioning and collaborative workflows.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Communication, or Computer Science.

• 9+ CGPA in core electronics and circuit design coursework.

• Experience: At least 6 months of hands-on experience with Altium or KiCad.

• Technical Knowledge: Basic understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) concepts.

• Hands-on: Proficiency in using lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Multimeters) for board-level debugging.

• Attention to Detail: A disciplined approach to library management and documentation.

What We Look For

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about hardware "bring up" those who don't just design the board but stay until the first LED blinks and the signals are clean. If you have a portfolio of breakout boards or hobbyist projects, we want to see them.
