Job Description

About Copperhead

Copperhead is building the AI engineering agent for PCB design.

It works directly with native KiCad projects to design, document and verify real circuit boards, from requirements and datasheets to schematics, layout, ERC/DRC and manufacturing documentation.

The role

We are looking for an advanced PCB engineer who can own complex customer hardware projects from requirements through manufacturing and board bring-up.

You will work directly with customers, design production-grade boards in KiCad and use Copperhead throughout the engineering workflow. Your experience on real hardware projects will also directly shape the product.

This is a senior, execution-heavy role. It is not suitable for beginners or engineers whose experience is limited to basic microcontroller boards.

What you will do
Work directly with customers to understand product requirements, constraints and existing designs
Own system architecture, component selection, schematic design and PCB layout
Design and modify complex multilayer boards natively in KiCad




Use Copperhead to design, document and verify customer projects
Define stack-ups, impedance requirements, routing constraints and length-matching rules
Conduct schematic, layout, ERC, DRC, DFM and design reviews
Prepare BOMs, fabrication files, assembly files and production documentation
Coordinate prototype fabrication and assembly
Lead board bring-up, validation, debugging and design revisions
Translate field learnings into improvements for Copperhead’s tools and verification systems

Hard requirements
5+ years of qualified electronics or PCB engineering experience
Advanced, production-level KiCad experience
Experience personally designing at least one Raspberry Pi CM4 or CM5 carrier board
Ability to share evidence of that carrier-board work, with confidential details removed
Experience taking multilayer boards from requirements through fabrication, assembly and bring-up
