Toolchain Integrator Librarian – PCB Design & EDA

The Role:

We are hiring a Toolchain Integrator / Librarian to own and streamline the EDA/PCB design tool ecosystem that powers our accelerator board development. You will be responsible for maintaining our schematic/PCB tool flows managing libraries and PDKs and enabling a smooth consistent environment for our hardware engineers.

This role sits at the intersection of CAD/EDA infrastructure and hardware design and is critical to scaling our engineering productivity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the PCB/EDA toolchain across schematic capture PCB layout SI/PI/thermal simulation and MCAD collaboration.
• Manage and maintain component libraries:
• Symbols footprints 3D models parameters lifecycle and compliance data
• Ensure alignment between ECAD and MCAD representations
• Define and enforce library and design standards naming conventions and version control best practices.
• Integrate EDA tools with PLM revision control (e.g. Git/Perforce) and build systems as needed.
• Work with IT/infrastructure teams to manage licenses installations and upgrades for EDA tools.
• Support engineers with tool flows scripts and automation to improve productivity (e.g. BoM generation DRC checks documentation).
• Assist in design data management:
• Project templates release checklists DFM/DFT rule decks fabrication/assembly outputs
• Coordinate with vendors and internal stakeholders to evaluate and deploy new EDA capabilities.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or related fieldor equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience working with PCB/EDA tools in a hardware design environment.
• Handson experience with at least one major EDA suite (e.g. Siemens Xpedition (preferred) Cadence Allegro/OrCAD Siemens PADS Altium Designer or similar).
• Familiarity with symbol/footprint creation padstack definitions and 3D models.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git SVN Perforce).
• Strong scripting or programming skills (e.g. Python TCL shell) for tool integration and automation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in a data center networking or semiconductor hardware company.
• Familiarity with SI/PI thermal and mechanical codesign flows.
• Basic knowledge in integrating simulation tools (SI/PI/thermal).
• Background with PLM systems and release management processes.
• Experience defining and maintaining corporate design standards and checklists.
• Strong communication skills and a serviceoriented mindset towards enabling hardware design teams.
