PCB Design Engineer (Flex/Rigid-Flex)
Location: Mansfield
Salary: £50,000
Contract: Permanent

A long-established engineering business in Mansfield, supplying electronics solutions into aerospace, space and defence applications, is seeking an experienced PCB Design Engineer to join their growing UK engineering team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced PCB specialist to work on advanced multi-layer board layouts for mission-critical systems, supporting a wide variety of high-reliability applications.

The Role
You’ll be responsible for the design, development and documentation of complex printed circuit boards (Flex and Rigid-Flex). Working alongside electrical engineers and internal manufacturing teams, you will ensure designs meet industry standards, regulatory expectations and performance requirements across multiple signal types and environments.

Key Responsibilities
PCB Layout & Design

• Design and develop PCB layouts (Flex/Rigid-Flex) to established standards
• Produce multi-layer PCB designs for Analog, Power, Digital, High-Speed, Impedance-Controlled and RF applications
• Complete full layout activities including schematic review, part library creation, placement, routing and Gerber generation
• Use Altium Designer for all PCB layout work

Documentation & CAD

• Produce and maintain technical documentation, drawings, test procedures and design specifications
• Prepare fabrication and assembly documentation using CAD tools (SolidWorks)
• Support internal engineering and manufacturing teams with design queries

Problem Solving & Collaboration

• Identify and resolve issues throughout the PCB design cycle
• Work closely with electrical engineers to refine and define PCB requirements
• Provide input relating to manufacturability, stack-up, materials, DFM/DFX and design constraints

Ideal Experience & Background

• Proven experience as a PCB Design Engineer
• Strong background in Flex/Rigid-Flex layout design
• High proficiency with Altium Designer
• Knowledge of high-density PCB design, impedance control, high-speed signals and RF layouts
• Understanding of PCB layer stack-up, EMI/EMC, thermal integrity, signal integrity and power plane design
• Familiarity with Polar Instruments, SolidWorks
• Strong understanding of electronic components, circuitry and IPC standards
• Experience with PCB fabrication processes, materials, stack-ups and assembly/testing (DFM/DFX)
• Ability to interpret and produce technical drawings and schematics
• Experience integrating mechanical and electrical design in 3D environments

Why apply?

• Work on cutting-edge, high-reliability electronics projects
• High autonomy and influence within the design function
• Stable organisation with a strong engineering culture
• Permanent role offering up to £50,000
