About the role

  • The PCB Designer / Hardware Engineer is responsible for the schematic design, PCB layout, and documentation of high‑reliability electronic hardware used in inverters, batteries, and energy storage systems. This role requires hands‑on experience across the full hardware design lifecycle, from schematic capture and component selection through layout, prototype bring‑up, and production release.
  • You will work closely with power electronics, firmware, FPGA, systems, and mechanical teams to deliver robust, certifiable, and manufacturable hardware for utility‑scale BESS applications.
  • The PCB Designer / Hardware Engineer is responsible for the schematic design, PCB layout, and documentation of high‑reliability electronic hardware used in inverters, batteries, and energy storage systems.

Responsibilities

  • Translate system‑level, functional, and regulatory requirements into complete and well‑documented schematic designs.
  • Design and develop electrical schematics for inverter control boards, power interface boards, sensing circuits, communication interfaces, and auxiliary hardware.
  • Perform component selection for digital, mixed‑signal, and power‑related circuits, considering performance, availability, reliability, and cost.
  • Design multilayer PCB layouts for energy storage and inverter applications.
  • Perform component placement and routing for high-speed signal, mixed‑signal, high‑power, and high‑voltage designs, ensuring optimal signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal performance.
  • Prepare and maintain complete manufacturing deliverables, including schematic packages, PCB layouts, stack‑ups, Gerbers, BOMs, pick‑and‑place files, and assembly drawings.
  • Support prototype bring‑up, board testing, debugging, and root‑cause analysis in the lab.
  • Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback to improve reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
  • Support ECOs, cost‑down activities, supplier coordination, and field issue investigations during the product lifecycle.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in schematic design and PCB layout for embedded systems, power electronics, or industrial equipment.

Skills

  • Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering Technology, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience designing hardware for power converters, or other high‑reliability electronic systems.
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, documentation, and technical communication skills.
  • Strong experience designing schematics for digital, mixed‑signal, and power electronics systems.
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity, EMI/EMC, creepage, and clearance requirements.
  • Experience with professional PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or equivalent.
  • Experience working in cross‑functional engineering teams across hardware, firmware, FPGA, and mechanical disciplines.
  • Familiarity with version control, ECO processes, and structured hardware release workflows.
  • Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail.
  • e-STORAGE is Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).
  • e-STORAGE uses AI-assisted tools during parts of the hiring process, including screening and workflow automation.
