Greetings, My name is Dick Graham and I am the Manager of a PCB layout group for Conexant Systems, formerly Rockwell Semiconductor Systems. I am attempting to collect information from companies that are in a similar business. The questions I have are as follows: How many PCB Designers do you employ? How many PCB Layouts do you do a year? Companies I would like to hear from (but not limited to) are: Lucent Technologies Motorola 3-COM Qualcomm Cisco Ascend Nokia Ericsson Any information on the above questions would be greatly appreciated.
