PCB Design Engineer (High-Voltage Power Electronics)

Location: Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil

Company

Developing integrated clean energy technology combining structural, electrical, and digital solutions for utility-scale solar power plants.

What you will do

• Design and lay out multilayer PCBs in Altium Designer for high-voltage, high-current applications exceeding 50A and power converters.
• Perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis, including impedance control, decoupling, grounding, return paths, and PDN design.
• Optimize component placement, routing, thermal management, and enclosure integration with electrical and mechanical engineers.
• Prepare Gerber/ODB++ files, BOMs, assembly drawings, and other manufacturing documentation.
• Validate designs through DRC/ERC checks and IPC, UL, and IEC safety standards; support prototype builds, bring-up, and debugging.
• Maintain the central Altium library, create components from datasheets, and define rules and templates for new library components.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• 7+ years of PCB design experience with strong hands-on expertise in Altium Designer.
• Experience designing high-voltage PCBs above 1500V and high-current PCBs above 50A, including thermal and mechanical considerations, for designs up to 8 or more layers.
• Experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal PCB design, PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, DFM/DFA, and production manufacturing constraints.
• Knowledge of thermal management, creepage and clearance, insulation coordination, controlled impedance, EMI/EMC mitigation, and safety compliance.
• Ability to interpret schematics, mechanical drawings, engineering specifications, and component datasheets, with strong problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with power conversion systems, motor drives, industrial controls, renewable energy, or similar applications.
• Experience with medium- and high-speed digital interfaces or advanced PCB technologies such as rigid-flex, HDI, heavy copper, and specialized stack-ups.
• Familiarity with SI/PI tools including Altium PDN Analyzer, HyperLynx, Sigrity, or ANSYS SIwave.
• Experience with Altium 365 and PLM/PDM environments.
• Knowledge of IPC, UL, and IEC standards for PCB design and power electronics products.

Culture & Benefits
