Frequently Asked Questions
Why is proper annotation so important?
Proper annotation is crucial for communication. It tells layout engineers, fabricators, and assembly technicians exactly how to build your board, from component placement to material requirements, preventing costly errors and delays.
What’s the difference between a fabrication note and an assembly note?
Fabrication notes are instructions for the company that builds the bare PCB (e.g., material type, layer stackup, copper weight). Assembly notes are for the company that solders the components onto the board (e.g., component polarity, special handling instructions).
What kind of placement assistance is provided?
We offer comprehensive placement support including resume building, mock interviews with industry experts, and exclusive access to our network of over 200 hiring partners in the hardware and electronics industry. Our goal is to not just teach you, but to ensure you land your dream job.
