Let the debates begin---
You make a good point about pcb guys having different skills. A guy who
basically connected the dots (over-the-wall) for 8 years has a different
value than someone who for 8yrs layed out boards and independently
adjusted circuits and boms.


It's up to your corporate environment to determine who is the better
fit.

Subject: [DC] Difference between PCB designer and PCB design Engineer


All,

        I am in debate with my Director, who is/was a mechanical
Engineer, over what the difference is between these two job
descriptions.  I believe some of our designers do the job design
engineer and I want to prove it.

        Does anyone have job descriptions etc on these.  I am also
trying to rewrite our very weak current descriptions.  We have 3 Senior
designers who all do the job differently and have different levels of
experience. I don't feel you should have a title senior because you have
been designing for lots of years. You could have lots of years of the
same experience. You should be titled Senior due to range of experience
and level of that.

        Sorry if I am ranting but this is important to me.
