What employers look for in a Electronics / PCB Design CV / resume

Electronics and PCB design recruiters want proof that a board you designed actually works. Highlight schematic capture and layout in KiCad, Altium Designer or OrCAD, multilayer stack-up, footprint creation, DRC and Gerber generation. Embedded roles look for C programming on microcontrollers such as ARM Cortex, AVR or ESP32, protocols like UART, SPI, I2C and CAN, and debugging with an oscilloscope and logic analyser. Freshers should list boards fabricated and tested, GitHub links to firmware, soldering and bring-up experience, and an understanding of EMI and signal integrity basics.
