Oh, I almost forgot, NEVER ask a PhD "anything" to design PCBs. What the

Speaking as a physicist, let me comment.
1. Learning to do a variety of engineering tasks is an important part of an
experimental physicist's education. A good experimental physicist must be a
more versatile engineer than most engineering specialists. This is exactly
the kind of job a Ph.D. student *should* be doing.
2. The specific problem mentioned was a "super noiseless detector circuit".
Few EE's understand detector physics or noise physics well enough to tackle
this.
Most PHDs when challenged to do something outside of a pretty narrow field,
might as well be qualified as a Post-Hole Digger.
