• 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
