Experience
Sr CAD Librarian 2001 - 2008
Cadence Designs Systems
Built Logical & Physical Library parts and provided Quality Assurance for customers using their technical specifications and company conventions while meeting tight time deadlines. Incorporated proper technologies and manufacturing techniques to provide high quality parts resulting in lower build costs for fabrication. Software used was Cadence Allegro & Design Entry HDL and Mentor Graphics Librarian. Worked from remote office.
Created pc board library parts in a high quality, date driven environment. Consistently met or exceeded customer’s requirements while working several different company libraries.
Provided Quality Assurance for both USA-based & China-based team members. Used email as primary method of communication with China-based team.
Learned to write simple yet complete email messages for explanations on technical or procedural corrections and to answer any questions.
Learned and added PSpice simulation properties to library parts using Cadence tools.
Trained 15+ members on software tools. Also taught processes for building parts and quality assurance tasks.
Provided verification of software and documentation for Cadence ADW document management system before customer release.
Printed Circuit Board Designer 1991 - 2001
Agilent Technologies / Hewlett-Packard
Created designs that met R&D engineer’s design requirements and company standards. Incorporated industry build standards to provide lowest manufacturing costs. Provided high quality manufacturing documents and data to pc board fabricators and loading vendors.
Designed circuit boards in a high quality, cost conscious and date driven environment. Designs included: Densely populated double-sided boards, Ball Grid Array (BGA) layout using 3-mil technology & special via sizesBlind/buried vias RF boards with sensitive traces
Worked closely with Electrical Engineer to solve special and/or critical design function. Able to independently complete design by using critical design solution in other special needs area. Completed pc board design using standard build requirements.
Incorporated loading and fabrication data received from Manufacturing Engineer and Vendor Engineer to reduce build costs and eliminate part loading problems. Suggested options for improved board yield and cost savings.
Provided clear and concise documentation and data files to all fabricators for complete pc board build and loading.
Created individual pc board and/or subpanel formats to meet different manufacturing and vendor needs.
Software used was Mentor Graphics BoardStation and Specctra Autorouter. Used autorouter to reduce design times.
Documented and archived all board creation data, special design requirements and quality assurance data for each board design per department and company process.
Modified standard library parts to meet specific pc board design needs as a normal part of the design process eliminating delay for new component creation. Submitted part for use in corporate library.
Developed processes to transfer design data between Solid Designer and BoardStation software tools which reduced design times and eliminated pc board outline & special shape errors. Imported mechanical pc board data before placing components and routing traces.
