Lead Electrical & Electronics Engineer

THE ROLE

• We are looking for an Electrical & Electronics Engineer who combines strong PCBA design skills with a solid understanding of electrical cabinet integration.
• You will take ownership of PCBA redesign and development projects — often triggered by a customer's redesign of a complex board — and carry that work through to a fully integrated solution, including the cabling and interfaces that connect the board to the wider electrical cabinet. You will work across the full electronics stack: schematic capture and layout, analogue signal chains, component selection, and — where a project calls for it — digital logic and FPGA-based design.
• A strong background in semiconductor capital equipment or a closely related high precision industry is desired.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Redesign, develop, and requalify complex PCBAs for existing or new machine platforms, working from customer requirements, legacy designs, or reverse-engineered boards.

• Design and validate analogue signal chains: sensor interfacing, signal conditioning, filtering, amplification, and precision ADC/DAC circuitry.

• Define and design the cabling, connectors, and interfaces between the PCBA and the electrical cabinet, ensuring signal integrity, EMC compliance, and serviceability.

• Own schematic capture, PCB layout, and BOM management using electrical CAD/ECAD tools (Altium Designer, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, KiCad, or similar).

• Select and specify components for power distribution, protection circuits, sensors, and I/O, balancing performance, cost, and availability.

• Support prototype build, bring-up, and debugging of new PCBA revisions, including root cause analysis of design or manufacturing issues.

• Collaborate with mechanical, mechatronics, and software engineers to ensure designs are buildable, testable, and compliant with design-for-manufacturability and design-for serviceability principles.

• Produce and maintain release-ready design documentation, including schematics, layout files, BOMs, and test/validation reports.

REQUIREMENTS (Must-have)

• Master's degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering

• 8–14 years of experience in PCBA design for industrial or high-tech machinery environments

• Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout using an ECAD tool such as Altium Designer, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, KiCad, or similar

• Strong analogue circuit design experience: signal conditioning, filtering, sensor interfacing, and power supply design

• Experience defining cabling, connectors, and interfaces between a PCBA and an electrical cabinet • Understanding of EMC, grounding, and shielding principles for mixed analogue/digital designs

• Component selection and BOM management, including sourcing and obsolescence considerations Nice to have

• Digital logic and FPGA design experience (VHDL/Verilog)

• Familiarity with embedded firmware and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, EtherCAT)

• Semiconductor domain knowledge and hands-on experience with semiconductor capital equipment or analytical instruments

• Knowledge of relevant standards (IPC-2221/2222, IEC 60204-1)
