Job description

At Abaco Systems, an AMETEK business, we design mission-critical embedded computing solutions that operate in some of the world's most demanding environments. Our products support military, aerospace, industrial and commercial applications where performance, reliability and ruggedisation are essential.
We are looking for an experienced PCB Design Engineer to join our engineering team and help develop next-generation high-performance electronic products.
This is an opportunity to work on complex, high-speed, multi-layer PCB designs using the latest technologies, collaborating closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and test engineers throughout the entire product development lifecycle.
If you enjoy solving challenging layout problems, working with advanced technologies, and seeing your designs deployed in real-world applications, we'd like to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing:
As a PCB Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and delivery of complex printed circuit boards used in advanced embedded computing platforms.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Designing high-performance multilayer PCBs for aerospace, defence and industrial applications
  • Translating electrical and mechanical requirements into robust, manufacturable PCB layouts
  • Performing component placement, constraint definition, routing and design optimisation
  • Supporting signal integrity and power integrity considerations throughout the design process
  • Working closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing and test engineers to achieve optimum product performance
  • Participating in design reviews and contributing technical input to architecture and implementation decisions
  • Creating fabrication, assembly and manufacturing documentation
  • Supporting Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Test (DFT) activities
  • Ensuring designs meet quality, reliability and compliance requirements
  • Identifying opportunities for process improvement and engineering best practice

Technologies You'll Work With:
Our products incorporate a broad range of advanced technologies, including:
  • High-speed digital interfaces
    • DDR4 / DDR5
    • GDDR6
    • PCI Express Gen3 / Gen4
    • Gigabit Ethernet
  • HDI and sequential build PCB technologies
  • Complex multilayer architectures
  • High-speed signal routing and constraint-driven design

What We're Looking For:
We're interested in engineers who combine strong technical PCB design skills with a practical engineering mindset and a passion for delivering high-quality products.
Essential:
  • Extensive experience designing complex PCBs in a commercial engineering environment
  • Strong understanding of PCB design principles and best practices
  • Experience with high-speed digital design and layout techniques
  • Knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly and test requirements
  • Familiarity with HDI technologies and multilayer PCB construction
  • Experience working within cross-functional engineering teams
  • Ability to communicate technical information effectively

Preferred:
  • Experience using Siemens EDA Xpedition tools, including:
    • Xpedition Layout
    • Xpedition Designer
    • CES
    • EDM
    • Fablink
  • Experience supporting signal integrity and power integrity analysis
  • Experience working in aerospace, defence, embedded computing or other high-reliability industries

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent industry experience
  • Typically 10+ years of PCB design experience involving complex, high-speed electronic products
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs

Why Join Abaco?
  • Work on technically challenging, market-leading products
  • Be part of a highly experienced PCB engineering team
  • Collaborate with engineers across hardware, mechanical, manufacturing and systems disciplines
  • Contribute to products deployed in mission-critical applications around the world
  • Access opportunities for professional growth and technical development within AMETEK's global organization
