PCB Design – Create and validate multilayer PCB layouts for high-voltage systems, primarily for automotive power modules (e.g., OBC, DCDC, CCON, and other charger/converter topologies).
Schematic & Layout Design – Generate schematics and execute complex component placement and routing, ensuring compliance with high-voltage isolation, creepage/clearance requirements, impedance control, and power‑module‑specific layout rules.
Signal & Power Integrity – Analyze and simulate layout characteristics to ensure signal integrity, optimize power distribution network (PDN), minimize loop area, control switching noise, and mitigate EMI/EMC issues.
Magnetics Integration – Manage PCB layout and routing for magnetic components (transformers, inductors), optimize trace routing between magnetics and power switches, and reduce leakage inductance and power losses.
Manufacturing Support – Generate manufacturing and assembly data packages (e.g., Gerber files), collaborate with fabrication and assembly partners to ensure Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Testing (DFT). Create and maintain component footprints.
Team Collaboration – Work closely with electrical engineers (hardware) and mechanical engineers to translate requirements into final PCB designs, with special attention to thermal management, housing integration, and board outline/shape.
Verification & Review – Lead and participate in design reviews to ensure compliance with specifications, safety standards (e.g., IEC 60664), industry standards (e.g., IPC), and internal best practices.
