The CAD Specialist is responsible for supporting the development, review, and release of printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing data packages while ensuring designs meet manufacturability, quality, cost, and customer requirements. This role serves as a key technical resource between customers, suppliers, engineering, and manufacturing teams to resolve design issues, improve production readiness, and support successful product launches.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and release complete PCB manufacturing packages, including fabrication drawings, Gerber files, drill files, stack-up information, and supporting documentation.
• Prepare and maintain PCB quotation and technical review checklists to support estimating, business development, and new program opportunities.
• Coordinate and manage the PCB package review and sign-off process to ensure data accuracy and manufacturing readiness.
• Perform Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) reviews utilizing Valor software and other engineering analysis tools.
• Develop, maintain, and verify DFM review parameters based on established manufacturing capabilities and design standards.
• Analyze DFM results and provide technical feedback to Product Engineers, Program Managers, and customers to address manufacturability concerns.
• Create PCB panel drawings and optimize panel layouts based on internal manufacturing requirements and process capabilities.
• Evaluate panel utilization and recommend cost-effective panelization strategies that maximize material yield and production efficiency.
• Review customer design data and communicate required PCB documentation, fabrication details, and technical requirements.
• Investigate and communicate discrepancies, file errors, or design concerns to Product Engineering, Program Management, Business Development, suppliers, or customers.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to incorporate process improvements, capability changes, and design rule updates into DFM standards and engineering procedures.
• Support the maintenance and continuous improvement of PCB design guidelines and manufacturing standards.
• Utilize PCB design software such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics to review and support PCB layouts and design revisions.
• Perform Gerber file modifications and edits to address manufacturability issues or customer design concerns.
• Coordinate with PCB suppliers to resolve technical questions related to fabrication, panelization, and manufacturing requirements.
• Serve as a technical liaison between customers, suppliers, engineering, and manufacturing teams to support issue resolution and project execution.
• Support manufacturing engineering activities through CAD fixture design, documentation development, and tooling support.
• Assist with estimating and quotation activities for PCB assemblies and made-to-print components by providing technical input and manufacturing recommendations.
• Participate in new product introduction activities to ensure designs are compatible with manufacturing processes and quality requirements.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, cost reduction, delivery performance, and manufacturing efficiency.
