ECAD/MCAD Symbol Librarian

Etched AI • Cupertino, CA

286d

About The Position

Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep chain-of-thought reasoning. 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).

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

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 and enforce the 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

Benefits

• Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with 100% of premium covered, 90% for dependents
• Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office
• Daily lunch and dinner in our office
• Relocation support for those moving to Cupertino
