We’re looking for a talented and detail-focused Senior PCB Designer to join our Devices Team. You’ll develop, review, and maintain schematic and PCB designs for Gallagher’s security products, supporting everything from early prototypes through to production and the ongoing maintenance of existing products.

You will work closely with Electronics Engineers, production specialists, and suppliers to develop, review, and refine PCB layouts that meet stringent standards for signal integrity, EMC, thermal management, and more.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Designing multilayer, mixed-domain PCBs in Altium Designer, with careful attention to signal integrity, EMC/EMI mitigation, mechanical constraints, and international standards.

• Leading design reviews, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and creating complete fabrication and assembly documentation.

• Managing PCB CAD systems, including creation and maintenance of component libraries and footprints

• Evaluating and improving PCB CAD workflows, processes, and design practices.

• Supporting engineers with troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of PCB design and manufacturing challenges.

• Providing technical leadership across development projects and mentoring junior engineers.

• Liaising with suppliers to evaluate fabrication capabilities and ensure timely procurement

The Fit

You’re an experienced PCB designer with at least 5 years’ experience in electronics hardware design and PCB development. You bring strong technical expertise, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for delivering high-quality products from concept through to manufacture.

What you’ll need:

• NZQA Level 6 certificate, diploma in electronics or equivalent PCB design experience

• Proficiency in designing mixed-domain PCBs that contain digital, analog, power, and RF circuits using Altium Designer (preferred tool).

• Expertise in mixed-signal and power supply circuits, including HDI technologies like microvias and stacked vias

• Solid knowledge of impedance control, power distribution, signal integrity, EMC best practices, and DFM/DFT principles

• Experience working within product development and manufacturing environments

• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to communicate clearly

• Leadership skills with a passion for mentoring and supporting team growth
