機械エンジニアと設計者

In PCB design, a Mechanical Designer is a highly skilled professional who plays a critical role in designing either a mechanical enclosure that houses one or more PCBs (PCB Driven Design), or defining PCB board sizes for a specific mechanical enclosure (Mechanical Driven Design). They also create mechanical drawings, make layouts for engineering tests, and design connectors, cable assemblies, and harnesses, all while ensuring that their designs meet necessary standards for functionality, reliability, and manufacturability.

Mechanical Designers in PCB design may also be referred to by other job titles, such as Mechanical Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer, or Drafter. These titles reflect the diverse range of skills and expertise required for success in this role, from mechanical design principles and materials science to 3D modeling and CAD software. Overall, Mechanical Designers play a critical role in the PCB design industry, ensuring that products are delivered while balancing the requirements of both PCB Driven and Mechanically Driven Design.
