Job description

NVIDIA is seeking an a PCB Library Engineer to join our PCB Design Infrastructure team. In this role, you will help develop and maintain the PCB library assets used across NVIDIA's Data Center, AI, Networking, Automotive, and Graphics products. Working alongside experienced PCB designers, library engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, and component engineers, you will create and validate component footprints, schematic symbols, mechanical components, panel definitions, and other critical design assets that enable successful product development. This position provides an excellent opportunity to build expertise in PCB design, manufacturing, component engineering, and design automation while supporting some of the most advanced computing platforms in the world. What you'll be doing: • Develop PCB footprints, padstacks, schematic symbols, and mechanical library content using Cadence PCB design tools. • Review component datasheets, package drawings, and engineering specifications to create accurate design libraries. • Support library verification, release, and documentation processes. • Partner with PCB design, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and operations teams to resolve library-related issues. • Learn and apply industry standards, including IPC requirements, DFM, DFA, and DFT principles. • Support quality initiatives to ensure library content is accurate, manufacturable, and scalable. • Participate in continuous improvement and automation efforts within the library environment. • Develop a strong understanding of PCB fabrication, assembly, and component technologies. What We Need to See: • BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience. • 2+ years of relevant experience. • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality. • Ability to interpret technical drawings, datasheets, and engineering documentation. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. • Ability to learn new technologies and processes quickly. • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment. Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd: • Experience with Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Altium, or other PCB design tools. • PCB design coursework, internships, research projects, or personal projects. • Understanding of PCB fabrication and PCB assembly processes. • Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB design guidelines. • Experience with Python or other scripting languages. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 108,000 USD - 184,000 USD for Level 2, and 136,000 USD - 212,750 USD for Level 3. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits .
