Computer Hardware industry
1997 – Present (12 years)

I have been a PCB designer for more than 25 years. I have worked for companies like HP, Honeywell and Tektronix along with successfully managing my own Consulting business part time for over 10 years.

I can effectively communicate and understand the entire design process from Engineer Schematic entry, layout with manufacturing and testing in mind for best design practices and acceptable design standards.

I am proficient with PADS Power PCB, P-CAD, CAMtastic and I have been trained on Mentor DxDesigner and Expedition I understand the fundamental concepts of signal integrity, EMI, controlled-impedance, differential pairs, equal lengths, delay lines, high-speed digital and analog designs.
