Senior ECAD PCB Auditor

Role Overview This is a highly technical, detail-oriented position cantered on creating and managing ECAD libraries, particularly smart symbols , using Cadence toolsets . The candidate is expected to have deep domain expertise in electronics component design, symbol creation, and DFM/DFA practices. This role is crucial in maintaining the integrity, automation, and accuracy of schematic validation processes and supporting efficient hardware design cycles. Key Skill Areas & Responsibilities 1. ECAD Symbol Creation & Management Primary focus is the creation of logical and physical symbols using Cadence Allegro, EDM/Pulse, and Part Developer . Includes accurate definition of pin types, pin properties, and data attributes . Requires reading and interpreting datasheets to extract relevant data for symbol creation. 2. Schematic Audit & Validation Automation-centric role with emphasis on performing automated schematic audits . Experience with Cadence System Capture/DEHDL Schematic Audit (Checkplus) is essential. 3. Quality Assurance Adherence to internal quality standards, IPC, and JEDEC standards is expected. Proficiency in ensuring that library components meet DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) constraints. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration Requires regular coordination with: Hardware design teams Simulation engineers (SI/PI) Mechanical and Component Engineers 5. Documentation & Process Improvement Maintain detailed and organized documentation. Constantly look for process enhancements and improvements in symbol/library quality .
