Because the aforementioned less-than-obsessively-careful engineer has now left, I need somebody to actually do the board spin--schematic capture and layout. There's a Rev A schematic in PDF to start from, but I don't think we have the CAD files. It's one schematic sheet, but may well lead to more work subsequently.
Any (experienced) folk round here want the job, or know someone who might?
Thanks

Why don't you post the pdf file?
Needs an NDA.

What's the preferred CAD system?
Doesn't actually matter much--the client doesn't have a license, because the A.L.T.O.C.E. had his own set which he took with him when he left. PADS or Orcad, probably, but I'd even be okay with PCB Express or its ilk--that's what I'd probably use if I were doing it myself. (But then I'm a physicist, and hence have no shame.)

I would deliver it in Gerber and C. I draw most of my footprints in C anyway.
How much detail is there? I'm on LI(Nassau). I could do Eagle, or I could give you a PCB contact to do it ( he's out by Wading River).

What are the parts, board size, layer count, annual usages and anything you can talk about outside NDA?
Annual usages? You want a royalty for a PCB design?
It's about 20 ICs, 12 transistors, 2 relays, 120 passives. All fairly big SMTs because there's no serious space constraint. (It's going in the back of a truck eventually.)

No, but we batch board productions together for lower cost.
But smaller PCBs would be cheaper.
The Brat is up for it. She needs the money. I'll oversee if you like, for free.

I can do it in gEDA/PCB :) That is what I use for all my designs anyways...
You lay out artwork with C, as in the programming language? That's hard core.
I knew a PCB layout guy who did it in Autocad, back when that was the only thing available on a personal computer (before the IBM PC was available here I think). One of the first things he did was lay out memory cards to expand his RAM. Then he converted a pen plotter to a home-made photoplotter. Etc.... :)
I thought she sort of run your company now. Big corner office, 2-3 assistants, 50" TV in office, black limo :-)

CMostly the component foot-prints. They never come right from the PCB package. I also merge panels for productions.
Done, thanks. Having someone who's used to deciphering chicken scratches like mine is a big plus. (She wasn't a pharmacy major, was she?)

Psychology. She'll figure out what you *really* meant.

Can be done by me using Eagle providing Gerbers, drill files and other things you may require.
