Project design engineer · What it does

Three tasks it takes off your hands

  1. Create schematics and physical layouts of integrated microelectromechanical systems components.
  2. Investigate characteristics of potential microelectromechanical systems device designs using software.
  3. Develop formal documentation for microelectromechanical systems devices including quality assurance.
Where these come from

The tasks of “Microsystems Engineers” (O*NET 17-2199.06), as O*NET lists them:

  • Create schematics and physical layouts of integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) components or packaged assemblies consistent with process, functional, or package constraints.
  • Investigate characteristics such as cost, performance, or process capability of potential microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device designs, using simulation or modeling software.
  • Develop formal documentation for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, including quality assurance guidance, quality control protocols, process control checklists, data collection, or reporting.
