I like the way Mary Sudgen describes the function of a layout
engineer/designer....
Layout is the hub of a wagon wheel....tying the spokes of electrical
function, mechanical parameters, fabrication constraints, assembly
requirements, and test applications all together to create a perfect
unit.
In other words, 'ya gotta know about the whole product to make it right.
And, it is of the utmost importance that we all work and play well
together.

I think that's why we PCB designers are such 'strange animals' in the
working world... most of us who do this for a living have some artistic
ability, some musical ability, some mechanical ability, a sense of order
in
the midst of chaos, a sense of humor about the absurdity we deal with,
some
ability to solve puzzles, a bit of the nerd but not too nerdy... a bit
of
the cool but not too cool... we sort of bridge the gap between the
extremes
and bring it all together into a masterpiece of technological, artistic,
functionality that makes it possible for the people of our time to enjoy
all
the great electronic gadgets they do...
Hail to the PCB designer... may our 'ilk' not become too rare... for
the
world would loose out on some really great stuff and great people too...
You
all are awesome... you can find none finer in the world.
Salud! (Cheers!)
