ADDISON, TX

Contract

Duration: 03+ Months

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced PCB design contractor to support board design schematic capture for an upcoming project. This is a 3-month contract engagement for a hands-on engineer proficient in System Capture, responsible for producing accurate, well-documented schematics that feed downstream layout and manufacturing. Onsite work is preferred, but we will consider offsite/remote candidates based on relevant experience and skill level

Key Responsibilities

• Create and maintain board-level schematics using System Capture, following established design standards and libraries.

• Translate design requirements, reference designs, and block diagrams into complete, accurate schematic sheets.

• Perform design rule checks (DRC) and electrical rule checks (ERC) to catch connectivity and annotation errors prior to release.

• Collaborate with hardware engineers, PCB layout designers, and component engineering to resolve design issues and part-sourcing questions.

• Generate and maintain schematic-related deliverables, including netlists, bill of materials (BOM) inputs, and design documentation.

• Support design reviews and incorporate engineering change requests (ECRs/ECOs) into schematic revisions.

• Maintain version control and documentation of schematic revisions throughout the project lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience using Cadence “System Capture” for schematic capture.

• Solid understanding of schematic design fundamentals, including component symbol creation, net naming conventions, and hierarchical/multi-sheet schematic structures.

• Experience performing ERC/DRC checks and resolving connectivity or annotation errors.

• Familiarity with generating netlists and BOM data from schematic capture tools.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently against project timelines.

• Effective communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional hardware and layout teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in board design AI hardware development.

• Familiarity with PCB layout tools and the schematic-to-layout handoff process.
