Printed circuit board designer - Which skills are essential?

Read and comprehend circuit diagrams showing the connections between the devices, such as power and signal connections.

Apply mathematical methods and make use of calculation technologies in order to perform analyses and devise solutions to specific problems.

Understand design drawings detailing the design of products, tools, and engineering systems.

Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. It involves the identification of patterns and formulating new conjectures based on them. Mathematicians strive to prove the truth or falsity of these conjectures. There are many fields of mathematics, some of which are widely used for practical applications.

Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.

Create detailed technical plans of machinery, equipment, tools and other products.

Printed circuit boards (PCB) are essential components to almost all electronic devices. They consist of thin wafers or substrates on which electronic components, such as microchips, are placed. The electronic components are electrically connected through conductive tracks and pads.

Draught circuit boards used in electronic product such as cell phones and computers, make sure to include integrated circuits and microchips in the design.

The functioning of electronic circuit boards, processors, chips, and computer hardware and software, including programming and applications. Apply this knowledge to ensure electronic equipment runs smoothly.

The computer-aided design (CAD) software for creating, modifying, analysing or optimising a design.

List the design specifications such as materials and parts to be used and a cost estimate.

Use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of a design.

Understand the principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.

Test the printed circuit board with special testing adapters to ensure optimal efficiency, functionality, and that everything works according to design. Adapt the testing devices to the type of circuit board.

Printed circuit board designer - Which skills are useful but not essential?

Prepare documentation for existing and upcoming products or services, describing their functionality and composition in such a way that it is understandable for a wide audience without technical background and compliant with defined requirements and standards. Keep documentation up to date.

The steps required through which a material is transformed into a product, its development and full-scale manufacturing.

The computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) is the use of computer technology for design and design documentation. CAD software replaces manual drafting with an automated process.

Understand electrical engineering, a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Monitor quality standards in manufacturing and finishing process.

Use non-computerised draughting techniques to make detailed drawings of designs by hand with specialised tools such as pencils, rulers and templates.

Create a mathematical or three-dimensional computer graphic model of the product by using a CAE system or a calculator.

Use computer-aided design and drafting software to make detailed drawings and blueprints of designs.

Use appropriate questions and active listening in order to identify customer expectations, desires and requirements according to product and services.

Determine and schedule production and assembly steps. Plan manpower and equipment needs taking ergonomic considerations into account.

Techniques used for creating detailed drawings of designs by using specialised pencils, rulers, templates and scales.

Design prototypes of products or components of products by applying design and engineering principles.

Draw layout specifications for machinery, equipment and building structures. Specify which materials should be used and the size of the components. Show different angles and views of the product.

Ensure that the equipment required for operations is regularly checked for faults, that routine maintenance tasks are performed, and that repairs are scheduled and performed in the case of damage or flaws.

Pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. It gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device. A wiring diagram is often used to troubleshoot problems and to make sure that all the connections have been made and that everything is present.

Develop a code of letters and numbers to label diagrams for assembly instructions.
