Senior PCB Design, Hardware Simulation Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Indonesia, +2 more countries.

📋 Description

• Convert product requirements into circuit architectures, hardware specifications, and validated electronic designs.

• Create and modify schematics and multilayer PCB layouts using KiCad, which includes component selection, routing, design-rule checks, BOM preparation, and documentation for manufacturing.

• Evaluate existing PCB layouts and simulation outputs to pinpoint signal integrity, EMC, and thermal challenges.

• Investigate root causes and establish measurable acceptance criteria for design enhancements.

• Revise PCB layouts to resolve identified issues while preserving the original schematic, netlist connectivity, and component choices.

• Conduct and analyze simulations related to impedance, signal reflections, crosstalk, return paths, temperature distribution, heat dissipation, and thermal hotspots.

• Assess simulation inputs, boundary conditions, material properties, modeling assumptions, and limitations.

• Record design decisions, corrective measures, simulation results, and verification outcomes.

• Assist in prototype bring-up, hardware debugging, and validation of designs.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of relevant engineering experience, with a significant hands-on background in electronic hardware and PCB design.

• At least 6 years of direct experience in electronics hardware and PCB design, specifically with multilayer PCB layouts.

• Practical experience with KiCad for schematic capture and PCB design.

• Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience in Signal Integrity (SI) / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) simulation and/or thermal simulation and analysis.

• Strong grasp of circuit analysis, component selection, and electronic component datasheets.

• In-depth knowledge of grounding, power distribution, signal integrity, thermal management, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) / Design for Test (DFT).

• Capability to independently establish, execute, interpret, and validate pertinent engineering simulations.

• Experience correlating simulation results with actual PCB layout characteristics and identifying design-level causes of performance challenges.

• Ability to evaluate model inputs, boundary conditions, material properties, and simulation constraints.

• Strong skills in technical documentation and problem-solving.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
