Guidelines for Incoming Work Packages
The EECAD Group will accept new jobs electronically or in hard copy as long as they meet the following criteria. The preferred method for submitting a work request is the Web-based Work Request Form (https://mis.jlab.org/mis/apps/job_request/eecad/submit.cfm) which you can fill out yourself or have a member of the Group help fill it out for you.
New Jobs
All requests must include:
- A clear and legible statement of what is needed
- Pertinent mounting/installation information
- Where the job will fit into a larger system and what it will do
- Desired Delivery Date
- Point(s) of contact with email and phone
- An indication of whether outsourcing is acceptable if it cannot be done in-house
In addition, you may request a particular designer if that person has experience working with you on this type of job.
Additional requirements
Requests for mechanical design work must also include:
- A complete bill of materials
- Information on any new components
- A sketch or sample ("as built")
Requests for electrical/electronic design work must also include:
- Information on any new components
- A schematic with critical nets defined and associated rules to be applied to the nets
- If the schematic is submitted electronically
- Provide a library
- Use at least a 25 mil grid (a smaller grid will add time to the job)
- Use B or C size sheets (larger sheets will add time to the job)
- If the schematic is submitted electronically
PC Board requests must also include:
- Board size
- Preferred number of layers and stacking
- Any critical component placements
- Whether to use through-hole or surface mount
- Any special fabrication information (e.g. "no solder mask" areas, special plating)
Requests for any other type of job must include a sketch.
Note: Change requests will only be accepted via hard copy mark-ups or detailed electronic files. A Work request must be submitted via the web regardless of how you choose to submit your changes. The group will not accept verbal change requests.
