תיאור משרה

supporting a LEO satellite constellation.


This role focuses on power electronics PCB layout, including DC-DC converters, power distribution, battery systems, motor drivers, and high-current switching circuits. The candidate will work closely with electrical engineers to translate schematics into robust, manufacturable layouts optimized for thermal performance, EMI control, reliability, and spaceflight environments.


The position requires deep experience with Cadence Allegro / OrCAD, library management, and high-reliability PCB design practices suitable for space applications.


Key Responsibilities


PCB Layout Design


Perform full PCB layout for high-power and high-current power electronics boards used in satellite avionics.

Translate OrCAD schematics into Allegro layouts while maintaining signal integrity and power integrity.

Design multilayer boards (6–20+ layers) including:

high current planes

power distribution networks

controlled impedance signals

thermal management structures.

Implement layout techniques for:

high current (>10–100A) paths

low inductance power loops

switching regulators

high di/dt circuits

power MOSFETs / GaN devices / motor drivers

Power Electronics Layout Optimization


Optimize layout for switch-mode power supplies and power distribution units.

Minimize parasitic inductance and loop areas in high-current switching nodes.

Implement Kelvin sensing, current shunts, and high-accuracy measurement routing.

Ensure adequate copper thickness, trace width, and via current capacity.

Design for thermal spreading, heat sinks, and copper balancing.

EMI / Signal Integrity


Apply layout techniques to minimize:

switching noise

EMI emissions

cross-coupling

Manage grounding strategies (split grounds, star grounds, analog/digital separation).

Implement shielding and filtering structures as required.

Library Development (Allegro)


Develop and maintain component libraries in Cadence Allegro including:

footprints

pad stacks

3D models

symbols

Ensure library parts comply with:

IPC standards

manufacturing constraints

space-qualified component packages.

Manufacturing & Documentation


Generate full manufacturing package:

Gerbers / ODB++

drill files

fabrication drawings

assembly drawings

Support DFM / DFA reviews with fabrication and assembly vendors.

Work with manufacturing to resolve layout-related build issues.

Cross-Functional Collaboration


Work closely with:

Power Electronics Engineers

RF Engineers

Mechanical Engineers

Manufacturing teams

Test engineers.

Required Qualifications


Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience).

5+ years PCB layout experience, with strong focus on power electronics.

Expert proficiency with:

Cadence Allegro PCB Designer

OrCAD Capture

Experience designing high current PCBs (10–100+ amps).

Experience with multilayer boards and complex power distribution.

Strong understanding of:

switching regulator layout

power integrity

EMI mitigation

thermal design.

Preferred Qualifications


Experience designing electronics for:

spacecraft

satellites

aerospace systems

defense electronics.

Experience with radiation-tolerant components.

Familiarity with IPC-2221, IPC-7351, and IPC-6012 standards.

Experience with high copper weight boards (2–6 oz).

Experience with power MOSFET, GaN, or motor driver layouts.

Familiarity with Allegro Constraint Manager and design rule automation.

Experience with thermal simulation tools.

Nice-to-Have Experience


Satellite avionics

Battery management systems

Reaction wheel / motor drivers
