Sachin T R

Results-driven Senior PCB Layout Engineer with 3.9 years of hands-on experience designing fabrication-ready single-layer, double-layer, and multilayer PCB (ML4, 4-6 layer) boards for electronics manufacturing. Proficient in Altium Designer (Advanced), Cadence Allegro, and Eagle PCB; experienced in Ucam for legacy projects. Expert in high-speed PCB routing, controlled impedance design (50 Ohm single-ended / 100 Ohm differential), signal integrity analysis, and Gerber (RS-274X) / ODB++ output generation.

Experienced in STM32F4-series MCU board design — from schematic capture through multilayer layout, decoupling strategy, and board bring-up. Delivered 20%+ improvement in first-pass yield and 25% reduction in prototype qualification time. Committed to IPC-2221, IPC-7351, EMI/EMC, and RoHS compliance across all design phases.

Open to relocation across India and internationally in EV, IoT, Medical, and Defence sectors.

(2022-06 - 2026-03)

Designed and delivered fabrication-ready PCB layouts using Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Eagle PCB, and Ucam; consistently delivered fabrication-ready designs on schedule within an EMS manufacturing environment.

• Designed and validated STM32F4-series MCU boards (STM32F407, STM32F411) in Altium Designer: performed full schematic capture, executed 4-layer multilayer PCB layout with dedicated power and ground planes, implemented decoupling capacitor placement strategy per STM32 hardware design guidelines (AN4488), and routed high-speed USB FS (90 Ohm differential), SWD/JTAG debug interface, and crystal oscillator traces — achieving successful board bring-up on first prototype spin.
• Implemented STM32F4 power supply design with LDO voltage regulators, bulk and bypass decoupling networks, and VDDA/VREF analog supply isolation; applied EMI/EMC filtering on power rails and I/O lines, meeting RoHS and IPC-2221 compliance requirements across all layers of the fabrication package.
• Generated STM32F4 board fabrication packages including Gerber RS-274X, ODB++ outputs, drill files, BOM, and assembly drawings in Altium Designer; performed net list verification and cross-checked against schematic — achieving zero manufacturing discrepancies at tape-out.
• Improved first-pass production yield by 20%+ through rigorous Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT) analysis, identifying design issues pre-fabrication and reducing rework costs by 15%.
• Generated and validated Gerber (RS-274X), ODB++ outputs, netlists, drill files, BOMs, and assembly drawings for 30+ projects, ensuring zero file-related delays at manufacturing handoff.
• Performed schematic capture reviews and signal integrity checks on high-speed signal paths; maintained controlled impedance (50 Ohm single-ended, 100 Ohm differential) and minimised EMI/EMC issues across all designs.
• Applied IPC-2221, IPC-7351, EMI/EMC design guidelines, and RoHS compliance across all projects, consistently meeting industry and customer quality benchmarks.
• Collaborated with cross-functional engineering and fabrication teams to resolve 100+ design challenges, directly improving first-pass yield and overall product quality.
• Designed 7+ complex PCB layouts including single-layer, double-layer, and multilayer PCB (ML4) boards up to 4-6 layers using Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Eagle PCB, and Ucam.
• Maintained organised PCB design databases, revision control (JIRA/PLM), and technical documentation ensuring full traceability and audit-readiness for all active projects.
• Supported PCB prototyping, board bring-up, and debugging of assembled boards, reducing prototype qualification time by 25% through proactive design validation and electrical design review.
• Conducted net list verification and cross-checked fabrication packages against design files, achieving zero manufacturing discrepancies across 30+ tape-out submissions.
