Remote Cadence E-CAD Lead for PWB/PCB Design

Moseley Technical Services, Inc.; Huntsville (AL); Remote; USD 91,000 - 99,000; Full time

Job summary

Moseley Technical Services, Inc. is seeking a Senior E-CAD Specialist to design ruggedized electronics and PWBs for U.S. Navy undersea systems. You will perform schematic capture, layout with Cadence tools, convert legacy data, and ensure IPC/J-STD/Mil-Spec compliance.

The role requires advanced E-CAD experience, attention to detail, and collaboration across engineering teams. Remote work option available with a competitive hourly pay range.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related specialized field plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree plus a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

• Develop and complete printed wiring board (PWB/PCB) designs in collaboration with Program Management, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Component Engineering.
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout using Cadence Capture CIS and Allegro, including constraints management, netlisting, debugging, annotation, and layout post-processing.
• Convert legacy schematic data from PDFs into Capture CIS native design files and legacy layout data from Gerber or PDF formats into Allegro native design files.
• Create and verify schematic symbols, PCB footprints, custom padstacks, board stack-ups, and related component library data.
• Netlist new schematics into new PCB layouts and verify accuracy against legacy design data.
• Design complex circuit card layouts incorporating mixed-signal, analog, digital, high-speed, RF, linear and switching power supplies, high-voltage, and high-current circuitry.
• Support communications interfaces and buses including Ethernet, PCI, VPX, DDR, RS-485, SATA, USB, and I2C.
• Apply industry and defense electronics standards, including IPC, J-STD, Mil-Spec, ASME, ESD, UL, and RoHS, throughout PCB/PWB design activities.
• Incorporate knowledge of bare-board fabrication, circuit card assembly processes, materials, manufacturing tolerances, and electronic component physical and electrical characteristics.
• Develop PCB stack-ups and perform impedance and transmission-line modeling using applicable design and analysis tools.
• Execute design rule checks, identify and resolve design errors and conflicts, and generate detailed design reports.
• Import, export, and maintain circuit card assembly documentation and design data using formats and tools including Gerber, ODB++, CAM350, Valor, Polar Si9000, and Zplanner.
• Support engineering workflows utilizing Altium, Xpedition, AutoCAD, eDrawings, SolidWorks, Windchill, Microsoft Office, Adobe, and MS Teams, as applicable.
• Conduct and host screen-share design reviews, participate in formal PCB layout reviews, complete design checklists, and implement technical direction from layout leads.
• Manage multiple concurrent and expedited design requests while providing schedule inputs, status reporting, and required design releases.
• Post design files to designated repositories and provide design data and release packages needed to support program schedules.
• Develop technical solutions within cost, schedule, and technology constraints and identify opportunities for process optimization, continuous improvement, and appropriate application of AI-enabled capabilities.
