• Assist Electrical Engineers with creating and completing schematics

• With input from component, electrical, and mechanical engineers, create and maintain bills of materials

• Work with electro-mechanical designers to determine PCB size, shape, and mounting scheme

• Perform component placement balancing power and signal flow with area utilization, mechanical constraints, and circuit heat dissipation

• Create a stack up with consideration for heat dissipation, signal integrity, and EMI characteristics

• Route ground and power planes with consideration for component heat dissipation, power integrity, and EMI mitigation

• Route traces with consideration for signal integrity, impedance control, voltage requirements and mitigation of cross-talk and EMI

• Create solder mask, solder stencil, and silk screen artwork

• Create detailed PCB and CCA drawings following company drafting practices and technical standards

• Create Gerber/ODB++/IPC-2581 output files for fabricators and assemblers
