Your Mission: Join VÆRIDION on our journey to develop the world's first electric nine-seater aircraft. As a PCB Layout Engineer (all genders) in our Technology division, you will own the physical design of the printed circuit boards at the heart of our high-voltage propulsion battery and power-distribution systems, turning engineering intent into flight-ready, manufacturable and certifiable hardware. Partnering closely with our electronics, hardware and manufacturing engineers from schematic to fabrication, you will apply IPC standards and aerospace-grade design discipline to hardware that must be safe, reliable and light enough to fly - work that directly underpins the propulsion battery system at the core of our mission to bring electric flight to regional aviation.   Your Day-to-Day: - Design, route and iterate multilayer PCB layouts from schematics, netlists and engineering requirements. - Define and document PCB stack-ups, controlled-impedance geometries and reference-plane strategies together with the hardware engineers. - Perform ECAD–MCAD co-design with the mechanical team, including STEP exchange, board-outline and keep-out definition, and connector and component placement against enclosure and thermal constraints. - Apply high-voltage layout discipline - creepage and clearance, isolation barriers and 3W spacing - in line with IPC-2221 and the demands of aerospace high-voltage battery systems. - Engineer for signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, manufacturability and thermal management, using thermal vias, heavy-copper and metal-clad constructions. - Create and govern the PCB component library — schematic symbols, footprints and 3D models - in accordance with IPC standards. - Ensure designs comply with IPC-2221, IPC-7351 and IPC-6012 (including Class 3 expectations for high-reliability hardware) and other relevant IPC standards. - Produce complete fabrication and assembly data packages: Gerbers, ODB++/IPC-2581, drill files, BOMs, pick-and-place and assembly drawings. - Perform design rule checks (DRC), electrical rule checks and layout-versus-schematic verification, and support design and readiness reviews. - Collaborate with electronics and hardware engineers to implement design changes and resolve layout issues. - Partner with PCB fabricators and assemblers to resolve DFM/DFA feedback and manufacturing topics, and to qualify new suppliers and processes. - Maintain rigorous revision control, configuration management and technical documentation across the hardware baseline.   Your Profile: - Diploma, associate degree or vocational qualification in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology or a related field. - Minimum of five years of hands-on experience in PCB layout or electronics design support. - Proven proficiency with a professional ECAD tool such as Altium Designer (preferred), OrCAD/Allegro, Zuken, Eagle, KiCad or similar. - Strong working knowledge of IPC PCB design, fabrication and assembly standards, and the ability to read and interpret electrical schematics. - Solid understanding of multilayer stack-up design, controlled impedance and PCB manufacturing technologies (rigid, flex, rigid-flex, hybrid, thick-copper, metal-clad). - High attention to detail, disciplined documentation and configuration-control habits, and the ability to manage several boards and deadlines in parallel. - Effective communication and teamwork skills in an English-speaking, cross-functional engineering environment. - IPC certification such as IPC CID or CID+ is a plus. - Experience with high-voltage, high-power, high-speed, HDI (microvias, blind/buried vias) or mixed-signal PCBs is a plus. - Experience designing to high-reliability or Class 3 requirements, and familiarity with aerospace standards such as RTCA DO-160 (environmental) and RTCA DO-254 (airborne electronic hardware), are a plus. - Exposure to signal-integrity / power-integrity simulation and close colla
