What a Electrical / PCB Engineer workday looks like

9:00 AM

Morning standup

Team sync — EMC results, layout review status, open fab release items

10:00 AM

Layout review

Signal integrity check on USB3 diff pairs and power delivery network review

1:00 PM

EMC prescan triage

Two EMC failures came back — diagnose root cause and decide whether to fix or request waiver

3:00 PM

PDN review

BOM derating compliance and bulk capacitor voltage rating review for automotive qualification

4:30 PM

EOD summary

Brief VP Engineering on EMC status and fab release readiness before customer call tomorrow

5:30 PM

End of day

Marcus Voss (Principal EE) wants Rev 5 gerber package released to fab tonight to hold the slot. SI sim flagged new SSRX return-path discontinuity from the L3 via move. "Fix on Rev 6" pattern cost 8 weeks in Q3 2024.
