We’re working on a series of advanced electronic products that require exceptionally high-quality, high-density PCB layout , and we’re looking to engage an experienced pure PCB layout specialist to support this work. These designs are not suitable for general electronics engineers who “also do layout.” The complexity demands someone whose primary focus is PCB layout and routing , and who is comfortable working at the sharp end of dense, multi-layer boards.
What you’ll be working on:
- Very dense, multi-layer PCBs
- High pin-count interfaces
- Fine-pitch components and tight routing constraints
- Challenging HDI / high-density layouts
- Layout work completed in Altium
What’s on offer:
- Fully remote contract work
- Highly competitive day rates
- Technically demanding, interesting designs
- Fast start for the right person (with flexibility to wait for exceptional candidates)
We’re looking for engineers who can work independently , make confident layout decisions, and consistently deliver production-ready designs with minimal oversight . CVs are being reviewed this Wednesday . An ASAP start is ideal, however the client is happy to wait for the right person, recognising that this is a rare and highly sought-after skillset . If this sounds like the kind of work you’d enjoy, apply or get in touch to discuss further details. The position has been QDOS assessed as outside IR35.
