About the role

  • 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.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field—or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of experience working with PCB/EDA tools in a hardware design environment.
  • Hands‑on experience with at least one major EDA suite (e.g., Siemens Xpedition, 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.
Benefits
  • A chance to work on one of the most transformative AI and silicon engineering companies in Europe with cutting-edge technology and industry leaders.
  • We offer a remuneration package that values your experience.
  • We believe in investing in our employees and providing them with opportunities for growth and career development.
  • Work in a hybrid environment with flexible scheduling.
  • Join an innovative team and experience company growth.
  • Opportunity to travel to other countries in Europe to meet the teams, collaborate and drive solutions.
