Educational Requirements & Core Professional requirements

Education: B.E or Diploma in Electronics
Experience: A minimum of 2 years of direct hands-on experience working inside high-complexity PCB layout environments, hardware manufacturing facilities, or specialized ECAD quality assurance configurations.

Role Overview:

ECAD Quality Control (QC) Engineer acts as the ultimate Technical gatekeeper between raw electronic design environments and final high-volume manufacturing facilities.
This highly specialized position is responsible for Auditing, Validating and Certifying multi-layer, High-Density interconnect (HDI), High-speed digital, RF and mixed-signal printed circuit board (PCB) designs.
Operating at the intersection of electrical engineering, mechanical constraints, and hardware manufacturing sciences, the ECAD QC Engineer ensures that 100% of released schematics, layout data, fabrication files, and assembly databases conform strictly to industry standards, internal company specifications, regulatory compliance mandates, and production yield requirements.
The primary objective of this role is to eliminate design-induced manufacturing escapes, significantly reduce post-release engineering changes and maximize first-pass yield (FPY) at the production facility.

1. Schematic (SCH) Review

Review and audit schematic changes from the legacy design to the current design version.
Verify all modifications, netlist changes, and component value updates, and document the details.
Cross-check and record any special design guidelines, constraints, or unique requirements provided by the Hardware Engineering team.

2. PCB Component Placement

Verify component placement against the legacy design (where applicable) to ensure design continuity.
Ensure strict adherence to mechanical constraints (keepouts, height restrictions, connector alignments, and mounting holes).
Validate placement for critical signals (minimizing loop areas, placing decoupling capacitors close to IC pins).
Evaluate thermal considerations (placement of hot components, thermal vias, and copper pours for dissipation).

3. ECAD Component Library Integrity Management

Audit newly established and modified schematic symbols, 2D PCB footprints, and integrated 3D STEP models to verify precise conformity with component datasheets and manufacturer physical tolerances.
Cross-verify logical pin mapping assignments dynamically between schematic symbols and multi-pin physical high-density packages to prevent catastrophic layout routing faults.

4. Routing & Signal Integrity Audit

Review trace routing to ensure zero 90-degree bends or acute angles (preventing acid traps and signal discontinuities).
Audit layer stackup usage, ensuring proper reference planes for high-speed signals.
Verify differential pairs and impedance-controlled signals for length matching, trace width, and spacing compliance.
Check power and ground routing, including plane splits, current-carrying capacity and via stitching.
Ensure 100% compliance with Design Rule Checks (DRC) and specific hardware engineering requirements, documenting any deviations from the legacy layout.

5. Manufacturing Deliverable & Fabrication Sign-Off responsibility.

Conduct deep-dive visual and systematic inspections of all production-ready manufacturing packages, meticulously auditing ODB++ databases, Gerber files, netlist and drill files.
Verify that the fabrication drawing data matches actual model dimensions, layer stackups, base materials (FR-4, Rogers, Megtron), impedance control coupon targets, soldermask clearances, surface finish choices and tolerance callouts.
