Responsible for all aspects of mechanical design and PCB layout for new product developments from early concept to full production release. Utilising CAD software 3D modelling of designs will be undertaken to ensure designs and details can be manufactured using latest technologies and will be cost effective. Working closely with the rest of the product development team to ensure development costs and timescale are met.
Key Objectives
1. Schematic capture from design engineer drawings and detailed layout of PCB designs incorporating the following technologies: Small signal control multilayer mixed technology (surface mount and through hole) Power electronics, both control IC and high current layout High voltage (1kV~100kV)
2. Detailed mechanical design of high voltage power supply units including 3D modelling of the whole product, incorporating: PCB models Windings Wiring Mechanical elements, brackets, fixes etc Overal enclosure
3. Innovate and incorporate latest technology developments into new designs
4. Ensure best practices are ahered to for manufacturability and testability
5. Create fully detailed documentation pack for new designs
6. Work closely with project team to ensure relevant standards are adhered to
7. Support changes in product design via the ECO process during the life cycle of a product
8. Working closely with the NPI team on product release from engineering to production
9. Checking and approval of CAD drawings created by peers
