Daniel G.

Professional Electronics Engineer (P.Eng.) - PCB design and test

Professional electronics engineer (licensed P.Eng.) with experience in consumer and light-industrial electronics, specializing in complex multi-layer PCB designs optimized for manufacturing. I design and test advanced PCBs for customers looking to manufacture anywhere from 100 units up to 100,000 units per year, and support them at any stage of the design cycle. I use 3D simulation software and industry-standard test equipment to ensure products perform reliably. My primary design software is Cadence OrCAD Professional, which excels in challenging designs (high-speed, large number of elements, high-density, rigid-flex). I also have many years of experience using Altium Designer. My MCAD software is Alibre Design, which I use for enclosure design and component modelling. I excel at teaching - whether I'm walking clients through my rationale behind design decisions, mentoring staff in advanced electronics theory, or helping companies with the growing pains of setting up a contract manufacturer for the first time. I have worked with single-person start-ups up to billion-dollar organizations. My key offerings are: • In-depth design reviews • Top-level design (feasibility studies, Cost-Of-Goods estimates, product spec. development) • Schematic capture • PCB layout (multi-layer; RF/high-speed; HDI; rigid-flex; FPC; Aluminum-core) • SPICE simulation • 3D multi-physics simulation (voltage drop, thermal, EM analysis) • Prototype hand-assembly, rework • Signal and Power Integrity testing (SI/PI) • General test plan execution, design troubleshooting, root-cause analysis • Design failure mode and effect analysis (DFMEA) • Reliability testing A partial list of my lab equipment is: • Soldering/rework tools • Siglent 2 GHz oscilloscope • Tektronix 20 GHz oscilloscope • HP 22 GHz spectrum analyzer • Copper Mountain Technologies 4.5 GHz vector network analyzer • Tenney environmental chamber, -68°C / +180°C I look forward to working with you!
