PCB Designer, Focal point for all PCB layout workflow and technical concerns. Coordinating PCB design schedules for several projects, estimating resources and department budget; estimating design ETAs and insuring that the schedules are met. Creating department ISO procedures, work instructions, forms, and training materials.

EDA Specialist, Evaluation and qualification of a comprehensive suite of EDA tools, covering Schematic capture, PCB Physical Design, Timing Simulation, Analog and Digital Simulation, and component information. Authored and presented a program outline including ROI, program implementation and educational curriculum. Maintain EDA software capabilities and compatibility, ensuring that CAD capabilities encompass design requirements, multi tool compatibility. Chair of the EDA Focus Group - Tracking the performance of the EDA Tools, coordinating user group agendas, and addressing internal expectations from management and users. Orchestration of an extensive employee training program for EDA tools and resources. Coordinating consultant services, multi-media presentations, customized course materials, and authoring presentation collateral.

PCB layout, of high layer mixed technology boards. Develop and maintain CAD database, developing physical attributes, creation and management of an extensive component libraries, and advanced design rule sets. Develop layout methodologies using multiple technology disciplines (mechanical, electrical, thermal, and EMI principles). Produce all applicable support documentation, generation and validation of manufacturing files. Review designs for DFM (design for manufacture), and DFT (design for test) issues. Recommend electrical and layout design changes to enhance design performance, cost reduction, verification, and manufacturability. Estimate project schedules for those aspects of the work responsible for and insures that the schedules are met. Coordinate the design efforts for any external vendor producing PCB physical design. Quoting the job, monitoring progress and verifying the data produced.

Electro-Mechanical Design/Drafter - Researching and producing multiphase assemblies, mechanical fabrications, bid and proposal presentation materials, silk-screens and artwork, cable and harness drawings, block and level diagrams, wiring diagrams, flow charts, and planning schedules. PCB Designer: Varied PCB Design via Pads Design Software; from net lists, schematic input and interaction with engineering staff. Performed package design for PCB enclosures and mounting schemes. Participated in Circuit Design Reviews. Responsible for new designs, sustaining products and re-engineering projects. Schematic generation and editing through OrCad schematic capture.
