8 Must Have Technical/Functional Skills • Knowledge of PCB technologies and manufacturing • Deep understanding of electronics, circuit theory, analog/digital circuits, and RF design. • 5 to 8+ years of experience in PCB layout and design, physical layout (stack-up), Board schematic capture fulfilling design requirements. • At least 5 years of experience building schematic symbols and part footprints • Sound knowledge of electrical & electronic components â€" Surface Mount & through Hole • Hand on experience in creation of footprints and sound knowledge of IPC standards associated with PCB design, fabrication & assembly and MIL standards, PCB library management •

Software Proficiency:

Expert knowledge of CAD layout tools (Primarily Altium Designer). Roles & Responsibilities •

Physical Layout & Routing:

Designing the physical layout of PCBs, including component placement, trace routing, and layer stack-up management, particularly for high-speed, multi-layer, and rigid-flex boards. •

CAD Tool Utilization:

Using industry-standard tools (e.g., Altium Designer) to create layouts, footprints, and schematic symbols. •

DFM/DFT Implementation:

Applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT) principles to ensure the board can be produced reliably and cost-effectively. •

Signal & Power Integrity:

Ensuring design compliance with signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) requirements to prevent EMI/EMC issues. •

Documentation & Output:

Generating Gerber files, fabrication drawings, and assembly documentation (BOMs) for production. •

Library Management:

Creating, updating, and maintaining component footprints and schematic symbols in EDA libraries.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Prepare complex circuit board layouts to meet the physical and performance constraints imposed by electrical, mechanical and environmental project requirements based on input from Engineers. • Define the Layout of the PCB according to electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability constraints using the CAD tools available • Take into consideration and follow design, signal integrity, power integrity, EMC and manufacturing guidelines • Complete board layout including all design considerations, routing, preparation for manufacturing Interfaces with PCB manufacturers to resolve any problems related to design Generic Managerial Skills, If any • Very good communication skills (verbal and written) • Collabora tion: Working with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to optimize designs, resolve technical issues and meet project milestones.
