Electronic Drafters

Generate computer tapes of final layout design to produce layered photo masks or photo plotting design onto film.

Consult with engineers to discuss or interpret design concepts, or determine requirements of detailed working drawings.

Key and program specified commands and engineering specifications into computer system to change functions and test final layout.

Examine electronic schematics and supporting documents to develop, compute, and verify specifications for drafting data, such as configuration of parts, dimensions, or tolerances.

Draft detail and assembly drawings of design components, circuitry or printed circuit boards, using computer-assisted equipment or standard drafting techniques and devices.

Supervise and coordinate work activities of workers engaged in drafting, designing layouts, assembling, or testing printed circuit boards.

Locate files relating to specified design project in database library, load program into computer, and record completed job data.

Compare logic element configuration on display screen with engineering schematics and calculate figures to convert, redesign, or modify element.

Review blueprints to determine customer requirements and consult with assembler regarding schematics, wiring procedures, or conductor paths.

Review work orders or procedural manuals and confer with vendors or design staff to resolve problems or modify design.

Select drill size to drill test head, according to test design and specifications, and submit guide layout to designated department.

Plot electrical test points on layout sheets and draw schematics for wiring test fixture heads to frames.

Copy drawings of printed circuit board fabrication using print machine or blueprinting procedure.

Train students to use drafting machines and to prepare schematic diagrams, block diagrams, control drawings, logic diagrams, integrated circuit drawings, or interconnection diagrams.
