PCB Designing Internship

Responsibilities of the Intern:

• Create complete electronic circuit schematics from requirements.
• Select appropriate components based on electrical, thermal, and functional needs.
• Perform circuit validation, checking tolerances, power budgeting, and noise considerations.
• Convert schematics to PCB layouts using industry-standard CAD tools.
• Multi-layer PCB routing (high-speed signals, power planes, differential pairs when needed).
• Optimize board size, signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturability.
• Add proper footprints, annotations, net labeling, and design rules.
• Run DRC/ ERC checks and ensure the PCB passes all design constraints.
• Prepare BOM (Bill of Materials) and fabrication-ready files (Gerber, Drill files, Pick & Place).
• Work with fabrication vendors if needed to ensure manufacturability.

Requirements:

• Altium Designer (preferred)
• KiCad
• Eagle
• EasyEDA
• OrCAD / Cadence
• Strong understanding of analog & digital electronics.
• Knowledge of microcontrollers, sensors, power regulation, filters, and communication buses.
• Ability to design circuits for real-world constraints (noise, EMI/EMC basics, grounding).
• PCB stack-up planning
• Controlled impedance routing (nice-to-have)
• Power plane grounding and isolation
• Placement & routing best practices
