Sr. PCB Designer, CID o Worked directly with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, reliability, and test engineers on several medical, industrial, military, and human-machine interface projects to help develop various multi-layer circuit board technologies designed for manufacturing. o Observed new PCBs as they ran through the SMT lines during placement and reflow of new designs. Built strong relationships with SMT technicians and managers to ensure feedback of new product assembly is received, and any unplanned design concerns are addressed immediately. o Increased proficiency in existing processes for layout, schematic capture, symbol design, and production of output files for fabrication and assembly. o Emphasis on concurrent engineering to increase speed to market with less design iterations. o Created layouts for new products and worked with project managers to reduce the cost of existing designs without sacrificing quality. o Used Voltera V-One PCB Printer for quick in-house prototypes and product development.

Sr. PCB Designer o Worked directly with electrical and mechanical engineers at major corporations including Intel, Verizon, Hewlett Packard, and Hydril / GE Oil & Gas to help develop and design various hi-speed and multi-layer circuit board technologies. o Improved proficiency in placement, constraint management, schematic capture, symbol design, differential pair routing, HDI boards and production of output files for testing and fabrication. o Gained extensive experience with HDMI, SAS, USB, PCIE, SATA, IR, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DDR, as well as Analog and Digital power distribution. Jr. PCB Designer / CAD Librarian o Began career as a junior PCB designer training with an experienced team of Sr. PCB Designers and CAD Librarians. o Gained general knowledge of routing, length matching, component placement / board layout, and IPC industry standards. o Trained with seasoned CAD Librarians to learn and implement physical symbol creation and maintenance of a library of components for Hewlett-Packard.

PCB Design support and training with Sr. PCB Desingers. - Multi-layer PCB board layout - Component placement - Complex routing and length matching - Generating files for fabrication - Device footprint design
