ECAD Library & PLM Engineer

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking an ECAD Library & PLM Engineer in Foster City, CA.

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
* Production experience administering a PLM system - Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE/ENOVIA strongly preferred - including workflows, change management, and configuration
* Deep hands-on expertise with Altium Designer, including Altium 365, vaults, managed components, and library management workflows
* 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
* Experience supporting PCB layout for 10+ layer boards
* 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
