PCB Design Technician

PCB Design Technician        
The PCB design technician will work with the design engineers, and offer a complete service from taking hand drawn circuit diagrams to delivering built and inspected PCBs.
Type of work undertaken by the division/group
PCB design and assembly facility for building low and high volume assemblies.  This includes Mentor Graphics PCB layout, Pick-and-place assembly, IR and vapour phase re-flow.  The group provides the following services:
PCB Design
library part entry and checking
schematic capture
PCB layout
PCB post processing and Gerber generation 
 
PCB assembly
solder paste screen printing
pick-and-place programming and assembly
solder reflow
Inspection
 
DFM services to our project teams
The group maintains an involvement in the delivery of the completed product, as part of the project team, for the purposes of quality improvement, taking an active interest in issues arising during:
Final assembly
enclosure preparation
wiring harness
Functional and production testing
Specific responsibilities
As a part of the Electronic Production Group, you will be involved in PCB design in the following areas:
library part entry and checking
schematic capture
PCB layout
PCB post processing and Gerber generation
You will work as a member of project teams to provide design for manufacture advice at all stages of the development process.
Minimum requirements
Your main skill should be multilayer PCB layout using CAD tools.  Experience in some or all of analogue and RF tracking, digital circuit layout, power electronics and digital circuit design is required.
A background in production engineering and knowledge of surface mount PCB assembly, including fine-pitched components, BGAs, board construction, via technologies and small passives (0402 / 0201) is required.           
Ideally you should have a qualification in electronic engineering, e.g. HNC.  An IPC recognised certification and / or knowledge of IPC standards will be an advantage.
