KiCad Component Library Maintenance Specialist

We are a hardware company and we maintain our own in-house KiCad component library. We need one careful, detail-driven person to own that library long term and add parts on request. This is not a PCB design job. Your job is that every part is correct and complete, so our engineers can drop it into a schematic and a board without checking it again. FOR EVERY COMPONENT REQUEST - Schematic symbol: correct pin numbers, pin names, pin types, units - Footprint verified against the datasheet: pad size, pitch, courtyard, silkscreen, polarity, recommended land pattern - 3D model (STEP), aligned and oriented to the footprint - Full metadata: MPN, manufacturer, description, package, key parameters, datasheet link - LCSC part link / order code - Saved into our house library files, opening cleanly in KiCad 9 and 10 - Registered in our internal components database (access and instructions provided) VALIDATION IS THE JOB Cross-check your own work before handing it back: datasheet vs pin-out, datasheet land pattern vs footprint, 3D model vs footprint, metadata vs the real MPN. If a datasheet is ambiguous, or the manufacturer gives two land patterns, ask. Do not guess. REQUIREMENTS - Strong hands-on KiCad 9/10, Symbol Editor and Footprint Editor - You can read mechanical drawings and recommended land patterns properly - SMD and through-hole, fine pitch, connectors, QFN/BGA - Comfortable with STEP 3D models - Good written English, able to hold a conversation by chat - Organised, consistent naming, no shortcuts ENGAGEMENT - Ongoing, long term, not a one-off - Minimum 20 hours per month, maximum 60 hours per month, as needed - Once hired you get an internal company email account, and day-to-day work runs on Microsoft Teams chat in English TO APPLY 1. Your hourly rate 2. KiCad library work you have already done (repo, screenshots or a sample part) 3. Your time zone and typical response time 4. Confirm you can work on Microsoft Teams and chat in English We start with one paid test component (symbol + footprint + 3D + full data + LCSC link) of our choosing. Clean result, and we move to the ongoing monthly arrangement. Start your proposal with the word KICAD so we know you read this.
