Company Description:

Curvia AI is a London, UK-based technology and AI solutions company that transforms complexity into chance through enterprise solutions, AI-powered automation, and data-driven insights. We build practical, scalable, and human-centered technology grounded in integrity, security, and responsible innovation.

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior Hardware Design Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, redesigning, simulating, and validating electronic hardware. The role focuses on KiCad-based PCB design and simulation-led redesign, with specialization in Signal Integrity (SI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), thermal simulation, or both.

Offer Details:

- Commitments Required: Full-time 40h per week with 4 hours PST overlap.
- Employment type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)
- Contract Length: 13 weeks (with potential chances of extension)
- Experience: 4+ years in the relevant simulation specialization and 6+ years of hands-on electronics hardware and PCB design experience

Required Skills

- 6+ years of hands-on electronics hardware and PCB design experience, including multilayer layouts and KiCad.
- Strong circuit analysis, component selection, datasheet interpretation, grounding, power distribution, signal integrity, thermal management, and DFM/DFT knowledge.
- At least 4 years of practical experience in SI/EMC simulation, thermal simulation, or both, including setup, execution,



and interpretation.
- Ability to correlate simulation results with PCB layout characteristics and assess model inputs, boundary conditions, material properties, and limitations.
- Experience with relevant tools such as Ansys SIwave, HFSS, Cadence Sigrity, Keysight ADS, Ansys Icepak, FloTHERM, COMSOL Multiphysics, OpenFOAM, or equivalent.

Key Responsibilities

- Translate product requirements into circuit architectures, hardware specifications, and validated designs across digital, high-speed, power, analog, mixed-signal, sensor, communication, or RF applications.
- Use KiCad for schematic capture, component selection, multilayer PCB layout, routing, design-rule checks, BOM preparation, and manufacturing documentation.
- Analyse existing PCB layouts and simulation results to identify SI/EMC or thermal issues, determine root causes, and define measurable acceptance criteria.
- Redesign PCB layouts to resolve identified issues while preserving the original schematic, netlist connectivity, and component selection.
- Simulate and assess relevant design factors, including impedance, reflections, crosstalk, return paths, temperature distribution, heat dissipation, and hotspots.
- Document design decisions, corrective actions, simulation results, and verification findings; support prototype bring-up, debugging, and validation.
