The experience constitutes the layout work of digital, RF and analog circuits under SUN Solaris, Linux and Windows environments, on top of the line and state of the art CAD development tools of Cadence, "ALLEGRO", "SPECCTRA" auto routing tools, "PADS Layout, PADS Router Mentor Graphics " Altium" , "CadSoft Eagle","OrCAD". ### Manager Design Department/Sr.PCB Layout Engineer @ Sipex Systems Jan 2004 – Jan 2012 | Karachi Responsibilities: • Implement and develop new designs procedure, policies and standards for the engineering and technical work performed in the PCB department. • Assign the PCB designing jobs to the team members according to their skills and keep discussing the work related issues and help them resolved as quickly as possible. • Hiring new PCB Designers and oversee development and maintenance of staff competence in required areas. • Discuss with the clients the technical aspects of the engineering design and suggest if there is any room of improvement in the design for better output. • Participate directly in all phases of PCB design from acquiring the initial data input from design engineers to the final artwork and release of engineering documentation to production. Providing support to engineering change management activities in both PCB and mechanical design activities. • Generate schematic diagrams and capture all data for PCB design. Generate PCB layout, make optimal component placement for functionality and easy assembly. Generate final PCB artwork; solder masks, assembly drawings, silk screens and NC drill templates. ### Manager/Sr.PCB Layout Engineer @ Nexlogic karachi Jan 2000 – Jan 2004 | Karachi The procedural working includes schematics capturing, generating net list and BOM (Bill of Material), making package symbols according to requirements (i.e. PGA, BGA, SMD, Through-Hole etc.), defining board constraints, interactive placement, interactive routing, generating Gerber art files, plots with fab-notes before wrapping the board to fabrication. Software Used: PADS,Cadence ALLEGRO, SPECCTRA auto router. ### Application Engineer @ Pentagon Systems Jan 1996 – Jan 2000 Software Used:Cadence ALLEGRO, SPECCTRA auto router under SUN Solaris, Linux and Win NT environments. ## Education ### B.E in Electrical NED University of Engineering and Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/syed-hassan-sajid-35472114 --- Source: https://flows.cv/syedhassansajid JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/syedhassansajid/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
