ECAD Librarian PCB Designer / ECAD Technician

To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale-faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology. Group/DivisionThe Semiconductor Products and Customers (Semi PC) business unit designs, builds and sells KLA's product portfolio to help chip manufacturers meet high-quality standards for technologies like AI, data centers, automotive and electronic devices. Our inspection, metrology, and analytics systems detect and monitor defects across logic and memory chips, specialty semiconductors, wafers, reticles, advanced packaging, process equipment and materials. We also develop technologies for specialty processes, IC substrates, and PCB manufacturing, including etch and deposition, component inspection, and imaging and analytics. KLA's Central Engineering organization is made up of nine Centers of Excellence (CoEs) spanning disciplines like automation, motion control, sensors, platform design, and packaging. Each CoE contributes not only technical deliverables but also deep expertise, best practices, and advanced tools that elevate both what we build-and how we build it. What You'll Do In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. An ECAD Librarian is responsible for creating, maintaining, and managing electroniccomponent libraries, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and collaborating with engineering teams to support PCB design processes. Key Responsibilities Library Management: The primary role of an ECAD Librarian involves creating, updating,and maintaining accurate electronic component libraries within ECAD software platforms. This includes managing the lifecycle of components and ensuring that all parts arecorrectly represented. Collaboration with Engineers: ECAD Librarians work closely with hardware engineers and other stakeholders to ensure that the components meet design standards andrequirements. They may also handle library audits and resolve discrepancies as they arise. Compliance and Standards: They ensure that the libraries comply with industrystandards such as JEDEC and IPC. This involves staying updated on regulatory requirements and implementing best practices in library management. Research and Development: ECAD Librarians are responsible for researching new components and technologies, integrating them into the library, and ensuring that the library remains current and relevant to the design needs. Training and Support: They may also provide training to other team members onlibrary management practices and assist in the development of design tools and processes.
