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.
