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:
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.
Engineer for signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, manufacturability and thermal management, using thermal vias, heavy-copper and metal-clad constructions.
Produce complete fabrication and assembly data packages: Gerbers, ODB++/IPC-2581, drill files, BOMs, pick-and-place and assembly drawings.
Your Profile:
Proven proficiency with a professional ECAD tool such as Altium Designer (preferred), OrCAD/Allegro, Zuken, Eagle, KiCad or similar.
Solid understanding of multilayer stack-up design, controlled impedance and PCB manufacturing technologies (rigid, flex, rigid-flex, hybrid, thick-copper, metal-clad).
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.
We recognize that women and other under-represented groups are often overlooked in our industry. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every listed qualification, we still encourage you to apply. Talent and potential can’t always be captured in a checklist.
