As this is used for all non-exempt employees here, it is _very_ broad,
but a PCB/IC Mask Designer I (what would be Junior Designer most places)
is Level B, IV (what would be Principal or Lead Designer) is Level E. I
guess Level A would be a gofer if we still had anyone there :)

Subject: [DC] Job Descriptions for PCB Designers... ?
DC forum members,
I'm looking for some good suggestions from the DC forum...
Every so often I have a need to revisit the topic of 'PCB Job
Descriptions'
and so I decided to post the general job descriptions I have in my file
for
designers and managers to reference when making their job requirements
known
to HR or even to a potential job candidate.
http://www.pcbwizards.com/jobs.htm
If you have a better or different description with more specifics in it
I
would like to upgrade these few entries I have into a general guide for
describing the jobs we do... or for those we might want to hire. Let me
know
what you expect to see in a job description for different levels of
designers. I can incorporate the changes into the descriptions or even
add
other categories that are related. Feel free to critique and offer your
opinions...
Your input is very much appreciated. :)
Thanks,
Bill Brooks - KG6VVP
