PCB Design Engineer - Outside IR35 - Competitive Rate - 6 Months - Oxfordshire (Hybrid)
Electric Propulsion | Aerospace | High-Power Electronics
An aerospace electrification company developing axial-flux motors and high-power motor controllers is urgently seeking a Contract PCB Design Engineer to support the next phase of development.
You'll take ownership of high-density, multi-layer PCB layouts for safety-critical motor controller units, working closely with electronics and control engineers to move designs from concept through to fabrication release.
The Contract
*6 months initial term
*Outside IR35
*Competitive day rate
*Hybrid: 3 days onsite in Oxfordshire (flexible for the right contractor)
What You'll Be Doing
*Full lifecycle PCB design (schematic capture → layout → fabrication outputs)
*High-density, multi-layer PCB layout (power + control electronics)
*Working on compact, high-current motor controller designs
*Generating fabrication and assembly documentation
*Ensuring DFM/DFT and manufacturability compliance
What We're Looking For
*Strong Altium Designer experience (layout + libraries)
*Experience with high-power / high-current PCB design
*Background in aerospace, automotive or industrial electronics
*Confident working autonomously in a fast-paced engineering team
*Solid understanding of PCB fabrication and assembly processes
*This is an opportunity to contribute to next-generation electric propulsion systems in a fast-growing aerospace programme.
