About the role

Senior role responsible for development, validation, and release of PCB library assets and ensuring library data enables successful product execution across NVIDIA platforms. Acts as technical authority for PCB component implementation, footprint architecture, padstack development, and library quality, collaborating with multiple engineering and manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, validate, and release PCB footprints, padstacks, schematic symbols, panel definitions, and mechanical library content using Cadence Allegro and related design tools.
  • Review component package drawings, supplier specifications, and engineering requirements to create robust, manufacturable library data.
  • Act as a technical authority for component implementation strategies, package interpretation, and PCB design best practices.
  • Work with PCB Layout, Mechanical Engineering, Component Engineering, Manufacturing, SI/PI, and Operations to resolve technical issues and improve design quality.
  • Apply DFM, DFA, and DFT principles to all library deliverables.
  • Establish and maintain library standards, development procedures, and quality control methodologies.
  • Support advanced technologies (HDI, fine pitch devices, via-in-pad, high-speed interconnects, advanced packaging, next-gen PCB manufacturing).
  • Participate in root cause investigations related to component implementation, manufacturing issues, and library quality escapes.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives including automation, workflow enhancement, and library scalability.

Qualifications

  • BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 6+ years of experience in PCB library development, PCB layout, component engineering, manufacturing engineering, or related fields.
