What are the responsibilities and job description for the ECAD/MCAD Symbol Librarian position at Talently?
ECAD/MCAD Symbol Librarian
We are seeking an experienced ECAD/MCAD librarian to manage and maintain our symbol and component libraries, ensuring seamless integration between electrical and mechanical design workflows while supporting design for manufacturability (DFM).
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and organize both the ECAD library for Allegro Layout PCB footprints and the MCAD library for Siemens NX, ensuring alignment with design team requirements and project specifications.
- Create and validate complex schematic symbols and PCB footprints for Allegro Layout, ensuring compliance with IPC standards and company guidelines.
- Develop and maintain accurate 3D models and metadata for electronic components in Siemens NX, ensuring seamless integration into mechanical assemblies.
- Collaborate with the manufacturing team to adjust symbols and footprints as needed, ensuring compliance with design for manufacturability (DFM) requirements and alignment with JEDEC standards and industry guidelines.
- Partner with electrical and mechanical engineers to ensure accurate integration between ECAD and MCAD domains, minimizing errors in the design and manufacturing processes.
- Establish best practices for library version control, part approvals, and data integrity.
- Ensure ECAD and MCAD libraries are synchronized, consistent, and up-to-date to prevent discrepancies between electrical and mechanical designs.
- Collaborate with component suppliers to obtain accurate technical data and ensure compatibility with design requirements.
- Perform detailed quality checks on symbols, footprints, and models to guarantee design accuracy and reliability.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 5 years of experience in ECAD/MCAD library management, including creating Allegro Layout symbols and Siemens NX 3D models.
- Expertise in Allegro PCB Editor, Siemens NX, and related tools for symbol and model creation.
- Good understanding of Part Life Cycle, EOL parts, and RoHS, EU.
- Strong understanding of IPC standards for PCB footprint creation, JEDEC standards for manufacturability, and mechanical tolerances for component modeling.
- Experience working directly with manufacturing teams to adapt designs for optimal manufacturability and yield.
- Experience with version control systems for ECAD/MCAD libraries, such as Git or PLM software.
- Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage complex libraries with a focus on accuracy and efficiency.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.
- Experience with scripting languages (e.g., SKILL for Allegro or NX Open) to automate library management tasks.
- Knowledge of BOM management and integration with ECAD/MCAD libraries.
