Senior Electrical CAD Engineer

Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead the strategy for high-density interconnect (HDI) stack-up design, via technology selection, and critical component floor-planning for flagship products.
• Execute complex hierarchical schematic captures and perform deep-dive circuit analysis to translate abstract system requirements into high-performance functional designs.
• Oversee comprehensive Design Rule Checks (DRC) and lead cross-functional efforts in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis to ensure first-pass success.
• Set the standards for centralized component libraries, ensuring seamless PLM integration and maximum design re-use across the ADC department.
• Architect and deploy Python-based automation tools and AI-driven workflows to optimize schematic generation and routing feasibility.
• Act as the primary liaison between Hardware, Mechanical, Antenna, and Firmware teams to solve complex EMI and physical integration challenges.
• Define and enforce rigorous DFM, DFA, and DFT guidelines to minimize cost and maximize yield during the transition to high-volume production.

Requirements and Qualifications

• 6+ years of proven experience in high-complexity PCB design and electrical engineering (Advanced from 3+ years).
• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Mastery of Cadence Allegro/OrCAD and experience with enterprise PLM systems.
• Deep expertise in high-speed digital design, RF signal routing, and high-power switching.
• Expert-level knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation strategies and low-cost fabrication parameters.
• Strong proficiency in Python for engineering-specific automation.
• Prominent ability to mentor junior staff and articulate complex technical requirements to executive stakeholders and external vendors.
• Proficiency in MS Office and Google Suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to demonstrate initiative and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Experience with software for DFM analysis.
• Experience or strong interest in applying AI/Machine Learning workflows to hardware design.
• Proficiency in Python for engineering automation.
• Analytical mindset with a focus on improving design rules and testing guidelines.
• Experience with other CAD software such as Altium, Siemens Xpedition, or KiCAD.
