Akshay Damor

CAM/CAD Engineer at SAFAL CIRCUITS DESIGNS LLP with expertise in Genesis, uCAM, and CAM350 software for PCB design and manufacturing.

Responsibilities include checking and optimizing PCB parameters, ensuring compliance with industry standards through Design Rule Checks (DRC), layer sequence verification, and Gerber data management. Specialized in advanced PCB processes including impedance control, via filling/plugging/tenting, gold fingers, blind/buried vias, countersink, edge plating, castellation routing, and PTH/NPTH routing. Manage IPC standards implementation, test coupon placement (AB coupons and others), tab routing, score line setup, array and panel configuration, and milling supervision to ensure manufacturing quality.

With 3 years of total experience in PCB CAM engineering, developed comprehensive skills in PCB job quoting, complete job processing (from single-up through array and panel setup with scoring and routing), and electrical test (ET) program creation for PCB testing and quality assurance. Proven track record in process characterization, verification, and integration of new materials and technologies to improve fabrication performance. Strong background in DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) analysis to enhance product reliability.
