Manage the electrical part creation and release process - intake requests from design engineers, validate manufacturer data, assign internal part numbers, and drive parts through review to release. Production experience administering a PLM system - Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA strongly preferred - including workflows, change management, and configuration.

Description
Our Client, an AV Manufacturing company, is looking for an ECAD Library & PLM Engineer for their Foster City, CA location.
Responsibilities:
Own the Altium component library end to end: schematic symbols, PCB footprints, models, and parametric metadata
Administer and evolve the Altium-to-3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) integration, ensuring electrical part masters, revisions, and BOM structures stay synchronized between ECAD and PLM.
Manage the electrical part creation and release process - intake requests from design engineers, validate manufacturer data, assign internal part numbers, and drive parts through review to release.
Configure and maintain 3DX (ENOVIA) workflows, change management, classification schemas, and attribute structures supporting electrical and electromechanical content.
Partner with mechanical engineering on CATIA/3DX interoperability for PCB 3D models, connector geometry, harness routing data, and enclosure fit checks.
Drive library data quality initiatives: duplicate detection, obsolescence and EOL flagging, and alternate/equivalent part management
Support release engineering and NPI: verify manufacturing data packages, fabrication and assembly outputs, and BOM accuracy ahead of design releases.
Collaborate with electrical engineers to jointly make schematic, BOM and layout changes, including component placement and trace routing
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
6+ years of experience in ECAD library management, PLM administration, or electrical design data management in a hardware product environment.
Deep hands-on expertise with Altium Designer, including Altium 365, vaults, managed components, and library management workflows.
Production experience administering a PLM system - Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA strongly preferred - including workflows, change management, and configuration.
Working knowledge of CATIA and MCAD-ECAD collaborative design data exchange (IDX/IDF, STEP).
Strong grasp of electronics component fundamentals: packages, datasheet interpretation, tolerance and derating parameters, and manufacturer part numbering.
Demonstrated fluency with IPC standards for footprint and land pattern design.
Preferred:
Experience supporting automotive, aerospace, or another safety-critical or regulated hardware program.
Familiarity with automotive component qualification standards (AEC-Q100/Q200) and functional safety documentation practices.
Prior involvement in a PLM implementation, migration, or major version upgrade.
Experience supporting PCB layout for 10+ layer boards
