About The Position

Humanoid is seeking an ECAD Librarian to manage and enhance its Altium Designer component library. This role is crucial for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and traceability of schematic symbols, footprints, and component data across the company's electrical engineering teams in Boston, Vancouver, and London. The ECAD Librarian will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the library, which directly impacts design velocity, quality, and reduces risks associated with incorrect components. This is a foundational position within a rapidly growing hardware organization, playing a key part in the transition from prototype to production for the HMND-01 Alpha humanoid robot platform.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with Altium Designer, including schematic library and PCB footprint creation.
Strong attention to detail for cross-referencing datasheets and verifying component specifications.
Familiarity with component lifecycle/PLM concepts (draft/preliminary/released states, where-used traceability).
Understanding of standard component conventions (reference designator schemes, tolerances, AEC-Q200 grading, approved manufacturer/supplier alternates).
Ability to work effectively with a distributed EE team and prioritize requests.

Nice To Haves

Altium 365 / Managed Components experience.
Experience with Teamcenter or another PLM system.
Prior exposure to integrating ECAD libraries with enterprise PLM/ERP.
Experience in a hardware startup or fast-scaling engineering organization building library hygiene from the ground up.

Responsibilities

Own the Altium component library, including creation, validation, and maintenance of schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models.
Enforce library standards for symbol sizing, footprint conventions, reference designator (REFDES) schemes, and naming conventions.
Manage the component lifecycle workflow in Altium (Draft → Preliminary → Production).
Ensure component data integrity, verifying manufacturer part numbers, approved alternates, and Part Choices.
Support where-used traceability for components, symbols, and footprints.
Collaborate with EE designers to add, retire, and validate components, and communicate library changes.
Integrate Altium component data with the broader PLM system (Teamcenter) and part numbering scheme.
Perform bulk library cleanup and standardization to reduce duplication and inconsistency.
Maintain library rules, statuses, and conventions documentation in Confluence.
