About Zeenath Aman Shaik

Results-driven PCB Design Engineer with 8+ years of experience in delivering high-performance, multi-layer PCB solutions across semiconductor, defense, and aerospace domains. I specialize in end-to-end PCB development lifecycle — from requirement analysis, schematic design, and stack-up planning to layout, manufacturing support, testing, and final delivery. I have successfully taken over and led critical projects, ensuring seamless execution, improved design quality, and on-time delivery in high-pressure environments. My expertise includes designing high-speed, multi-layer boards (up to 12 layers) with strong focus on Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and EMI/EMC compliance, meeting stringent standards such as MIL-STD. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including hardware, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing to drive projects from concept to production. I also act as a primary interface with fabrication and assembly vendors, resolving engineering challenges and ensuring smooth production cycles.
