eCAD Engineer

The eCAD Engineer leads electronic computer-aided design (eCAD) activities for printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the automotive exterior lighting electronic systems and other emerging automotive electronics systems for Flex-N-Gate. This role focuses on developing and overseeing multi-layer PCB layouts for automotive ECUs and cross-functional coordination to ensure robust products., * Design, develop, characterize, optimize, validate, release, launch and maintain eCAD data for PCBs.

• Ensure that schematics, PCB layouts, and manufacturing data comply with Flex-N-Gate standards, electrical performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
• Ensure end-to-end traceability of layouts to requirements using requirements management tools (e.g., Altium, Polarion ALM, DOORS, Jama).
• Collaborate with multiple eCAD, CAD and manufacturing engineers globally to create products that meet customers’ requirements.
• Maintain libraries of components, schematics, layouts, symbols, footprints, part attributes and documentation.
• Develop PCB stack-ups, routing strategies, impedance control, and constraints
• Generate manufacturing and assembly outputs (Gerbers, ODB++, pick-and-place, BOMs)
• Manage PCB projects and report to program managers.
• Provide Electronic support to manufacturing plants and the product engineering teams.
• Comply with Flex-N-Gate and industry processes such as ASPICE, APQP Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity.
• Communicate and interface with OEM and suppliers.
• Review OEM specifications and integrate customer requirements into eCAD.
• Support system verification and validation planning (DVP&R), DFMEA contributions, and compliance reviews.
• Provide technical support during development, launch, and production for issues related to electronic system behavior, requirements interpretation, and change management.
• Maintain knowledge of automotive electronics technologies, communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, hardwire I/O), and regulatory requirements.
• Create and present technical information to other engineers and OEM customers through design reviews, technical discussions, and formal documentation.
