Senior ECAD PCB Librarian / ECAD Component Specialist

Job Title:

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Expertise:

  Develop and manage ECAD library smart” symbols, defining pin types, pin properties, and component types accurately.

• Design and Development:

  Analyze component datasheets and input metadata to enable automated schematic validation against design criteria.

• Quality Assurance:

  Ensure ECAD symbols and library components meet internal quality standards, IPC standards, JEDEC, and industry best practices (DFM/DFA).

• Problem Solving:

  Troubleshoot and resolve ECAD component issues, including those related to Cadence EDM/Pulse databases and related tools.

• Documentation:

  Maintain accurate documentation of ECAD library parts within the Cadence EDM/Pulse environment. Update process documents as required.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  Collaborate with hardware engineers, SI/PI teams, mechanical engineers, and component engineers to ensure accurate ECAD representation in system designs.

• Continuous Improvement:

  Actively participate in DFM/DFA reviews and propose enhancements to standards, methodologies, and ECAD processes.

Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain ECAD “smart” symbols using Cadence tools, ensuring accurate pin/property definitions and metadata.
  
• Analyze component datasheets and accurately transfer data into ECAD logical symbols.
  
• Perform automated schematic audits using

  Cadence Schematic Audit

  .
• Maintain detailed documentation of library parts and ECAD processes.
  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of ECAD symbols in hardware designs.
  
• Identify and implement improvements in ECAD library development processes.
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  
• 5+ years of proven experience in ECAD library symbol creation and Cadence library management.
  
• Proficiency in

  Cadence PCB design tools

  : Allegro, EDM/Pulse, Part Developer, System Capture (or DE HDL).
• Strong knowledge of ECAD symbol structure, pin definitions, schematic audit techniques, and datasheet interpretation.
  
• Understanding of

  DFM/DFA constraints

  and compliance with IPC, JEDEC, and internal quality standards.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.
  
• High attention to detail for precision in data entry and compliance.
  

Mandatory Skills / Must-Have Requirements:

1. Strong experience in ECAD symbol creation (Logical & Physical) using

   Cadence/Allegro tools

   .
2. Deep knowledge of

   DFM/DFA constraints

   .
3. Familiarity with internal quality processes,

   IPC standards

   , and

   JEDEC

   compliance for part creation.
4. Proficiency in:
   

• Cadence Allegro
