I
have twenty years experience designing extremely complex, highly
constrained, analog and digital circuit boards on a variety of CAD
systems including over ten years on Cadence Allegro and the Specctra
autorouter. I have gained experience in a vast array of technologies
and standards while working in a service bureau environment. I have
proven my skills working on hundreds of very different designs for
hundreds of very different companies and engineers. I have a reputation
for speed and accuracy. My experience is too extensive to describe briefly
here. I would be happy to discuss my qualifications in more detail over
the phone or to schedule an appointment for an interview. I have been
presented with an amazing variety of design challenges and I am certain
that I can be an asset to any company seeking a designer with the highest
level of skill and experience.
I am
immediately available for temporary contract or direct permanent full time
or part time work laying out any type of printed circuit/wiring board. I
can also incorporate your engineering changes to existing designs, build
library symbols, even provide training for new Allegro users. I can manage
your board fabrication, assembly and testing. I will install, upgrade or
configure your Allegro software and provide any needed “engineering
services” related tasks on a simple hourly contract.
I can work anywhere in the silicon valley area of California or on a short
term basis outside the area. I have a broadband connection and access to
an Allegro license allowing me to provide design services to companies
anywhere.
