    Create schematics and physical layouts of integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) components or packaged assemblies consistent with process, functional, or package constraints.

  2. 2

    Investigate characteristics such as cost, performance, or process capability of potential microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device designs, using simulation or modelling software.

  3. 3

    Create or maintain formal engineering documents, such as schematics, bills of materials, components or materials specifications, or packaging requirements.
