OBJECTIVE
To work in a creative, team-oriented environment in which my skills and knowledge with computer-aided design software can be used to its maximum potential in
benefiting the organization.
SUMMARY
Versatile, thorough Printed Circuit Board Designer with extensive experience in the entire PCB design and manufacturing process from board schematic to
fabrication to assembly.
Skilled in many board layout packages, including Cadence Allegro, Concept/OrCAD, Specctra, Pads, and Redac Cadstar. Industrious team member and reliable team leader who produces quality work, achieves consistent results, and cooperatively works to solve tough design, fabrication, and manufacturing issues.
SKILLS
PCB Design Software: Cadence Allegro PE13.6/14.1, Concept, OrCAD, and Specctra; Pads 4.0.1; Redac Cadstar Schematic/Layout; AutoCAD
Software; PC Gerber
OS/Software: UNIX, HDL, Windows, DOS, MS Word
Types of Circuits:
TTL, RF, CMOS, Analog, and Digital for high volume production and UL require-ments, for single, two-sided, multi-layer, and surface mounted boards designed to IPC standards
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Motorola / General Instrument in Lewisville, Texas and
Motorola SPS/MSD in Austin, Texas 1990 present
Senior CAD Specialist PCB Designer
- Designed highly complex Analog, Digital, mixed, ECL, RF, and CMOS single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layer surface mounted and through-hole boards using Cadence Allegro, Concept, OrCAD, and
Specctra, PADS.
- Created Allegro and Concept symbols and made decisions on naming conventions and symbol attributes for the Cadence library data management structure and files.
- Created files for PCB fabrication that included schematics, artwork, numerical control information to drive the drilling of the boards, test point information, auto placement information,
fabrication drawings, and assembly drawings.
- Interfaced with engineering, management, marketing, vendors, and manufacturing to synchronize schedules and ensure the product's quality and manufacturability.
- Made PCB design decisions on parts placement, routing, and processing of files for manufacturing, consistently reducing costs by designing boards using DFM guidelines.
- Participated in schematic, layout, and final product design reviews with the design engineering, product engineering, and manufacturing teams.
- Solved mechanical electronic packaging problems related to PCB design.
- Identified and solved fabrication problems related to PCB design.
- Recommended tasks to be automated, e.g. a search function for PCB designers to find library items that were linked to the parts database, and worked with engineering to complete the automation.
- Reviewed coworkers' board designs and suggested placement and quality improvements on artwork and fabrication drawings.
Senior CAD Specialist PCB Designer at Motorola (continued)
- Convinced BCS to convert UNIX Allegro and Concept libraries to NT for Motorola.
- Championed a training program for the team of PCB designers on new software releases. The team attended the training and still met tight project deadlines, using the new libraries and
software tools.
- Partnered MSD with Nogales, Mexico assembly factory to establish new test procedures and set-top box production.
- Interfaced with the assembly factory in Nogales, Mexico for the Pre-Production Run of the DSL set-top product, ensuring product quality and cost-effective, efficient product assembly.
MRT Contract Shop Scientific Communications (now Andrew Corp.), Plano, Texas
