Skills for PCB layouter Due to the evolving complexity of the PCB board design industry, CAD engineers are now required to possess a broad range of skills. They must be proficient in at least one high-end EDA tool like Allegro and have a working knowledge of others such as POWERPCB, MENTOR, or PROTEL. Additionally, engineers should have solid hardware development experience and a deep understanding of the electronics products they design. Knowledge of PCB production processes and manufacturing constraints is also essential to avoid issues during production. Furthermore, engineers need expertise in Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) to ensure robust PCB designs.
