Montreal, Quebec, Canada Hikinex Full time

Role Overview:

As a Senior PCB Design Engineer, you will take on a leadership position within our hardware design group. Your key duties will revolve around crafting, executing, and validating mixed-signal (Digital & RF) Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) customized for application in satellite and other orbital systems. These applications encompass a diverse spectrum, encompassing digital control/processing, motor drive units, onboard processors, and mass-storage units, all of which utilize cutting-edge space technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the digital/analog PCB design for space environments.
  • Mentor and oversee junior team members and interns in PCB design.
  • Translate board-level requirements into a comprehensive design concept (incorporating architecture, I/Os, key components, power dissipation estimates, FPGA integration, software integration, etc.).
  • Collaborate closely with FPGA, software, and test designers to finalize functional concepts and streamline integration.
  • Complete or review the schematic capture level design.
  • Identify and manage technology and design risks.
  • Provide guidance to ensure Design for Manufacture/Test in space environments.
  • Supervise and review design layout constraints, parts placement, manufacturing, and assembly drawings.
  • Prepare or review lists of long lead items, bills of materials, and ensure parts qualifications for space.
  • Conduct and review circuit simulations (using tools like SPICE, Hyperlynx, ADS, etc.) and various design analyses (e.g., worst-case scenarios, FMECA).
  • Coordinate with various specialized teams (structural, thermal, packaging, manufacturing, quality assurance, etc.) to conduct necessary reviews for PCB component placement and layout.
  • Oversee board assembly and manufacturing tests.
  • Prepare and review various documents, including review presentations, test plans, test procedures, etc.
  • Lead and guide junior team members in testing, troubleshooting, and debugging complex mixed-signal boards.
  • Provide support for environmental and functional tests and validation for space missions.
  • Report progress and address issues to the program lead or manager.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent field.
  • Minimum of seven (7) years of experience in designing processor, digital, analog, high-speed, or mixed-signal PCBs.
  • Demonstrated expertise in at least one of these areas of competence.
  • Proficiency in coaching and supervising junior team members and interns.
  • Experience in design architecture and handling multidisciplinary specifications and reviews (FPGA, software, mechanical, etc.).
  • Proficiency in tools/software languages such as Excel spreadsheets, Python, MathCAD, Spice, Matlab, JIRA, etc.
  • Strong understanding of electronic circuits and communication protocols, coupled with extensive PCB design experience.
  • Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes.
  • Exposure to mechanical packaging is a valuable asset.
  • Experience conducting analyses (FMECA, WCA, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.) using various tools like SPICE, ADS SiPro, Hyperlynx, etc.
