PCB Design Internship in Vellore, Katpadi & Ranipet

OrCAD is a set of electronic design tools from Cadence used to design circuit boards from start to finish. OrCAD Capture is used to draw the schematic, PSpice simulates how the circuit will behave, and OrCAD PCB Editor (built on the Allegro engine) is used to place components, route copper tracks and produce the files a factory needs to make the board.

Working through OrCAD PCB Design, you will learn to create projects, libraries and custom parts in OrCAD Capture, draw single-sheet, multi-sheet and hierarchical schematics with buses, net aliases and off-page connectors and annotate, run design rules checks, create a bill of materials and generate a netlist.

You will work with OrCAD Capture, Capture CIS and OrCAD PSpice; the Course on OrCAD Capture programme includes modules such as Getting Started with Capture, Part Libraries and Schematic Page Setup.

Roles to aim for include PCB Design Engineer – creates board layouts that meet electrical, mechanical and manufacturing rules and PCB Layout Designer – builds footprints, places parts and routes boards from schematics. Basic knowledge of electronic components and circuits is needed. Taking OrCAD Capture before PCB Editor is helpful, because the PCB course imports netlists from Capture.
