Job Title: Senior PCB Engineer – Power Supplies

Location: Horsham
Job Type: Permanent
Industry: Power Electronics

About the Role:
We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Senior PCB Engineer on behalf of our client, focusing on the design and layout of printed circuit boards for power supply applications. You will play a key role in the development of compact, high-efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC converters, supporting the entire product lifecycle from concept to production.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and layout multi-layer PCBs for power supply circuits, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and isolated/non-isolated topologies.
• Collaborate with power electronics, mechanical, and thermal engineers to optimise PCB layout for electrical performance, thermal management, and manufacturability.
• Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers, BOMs, pick-and-place files, etc.).
• Perform design rule checks (DRC) and electrical rule checks (ERC) to ensure compliance with manufacturing and safety standards.
• Implement creepage and clearance guidelines in accordance with relevant safety standards (IEC, UL).
• Work closely with suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM/DFT issues.
• Assist in prototype bring-up, testing, and validation.

Essential Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience in PCB layout for power electronics, ideally in high-voltage and high-current designs.
• Proficiency in industry-standard ECAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Mentor Graphics, Cadence).
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC considerations, signal integrity, and thermal design.
• Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes and constraints.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and component datasheets.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of embedded systems and mixed-signal PCB layout.
• Understanding of safety and regulatory standards for power electronics (EN, UL, IEC).
