PCB Design Engineers

A PCB Designer is a highly skilled professional with a holistic responsibility for both electrical engineering and PCB design. They are involved in a range of tasks, including embedded software development, schematic capture, layout, routing, component footprint creation, documentation, and more. PCB Designers work closely with other specialists, such as MCAD designers, CAD librarians, and fabrication houses to ensure that PCBs are successfully manufactured for electronic products.

PCB Designers in PCB design may also be referred to by other job titles, such as Module Designer, Board Designer, Embedded System Designer, Layout Designer, Layout Engineer, or Senior PCB Designer. These titles reflect the diverse range of skills and expertise required for success in this role, from software and electrical engineering to mechanical design and fabrication. Overall, PCB Designers play a critical role in the PCB design industry, ensuring that products meet necessary standards and are delivered to customers on time and with the highest level of quality and functionality.

9:02 Version Control System in Altium 365 9 min Videos Electrical Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads This video demonstrates the version control system in Altium 365. In this system, projects are available in the web interface in folders. Sharing rights are set up per folder or per project, and can be set by editor, or by viewer. A new project template is created in Altium Designer and saved to the Altium 365 Workspace, and the Altium 365 version control system is enabled to view the project history. In Altium Designer, the project is created locally on the C Drive for quick access, and it is saved to Altium 365. A schematic is opened and two parts are placed with an annotation and saved to the server. The project history in the version control is opened, and the history of the project is discussed. A tag is created, and a comparison of the tag to a previous commit is made. Other options in the history are discussed as well, including reverting to a previous version. Likewise, a where used for components feature is demonstrated to trace parts across a project, and the process to prevent users from making duplicate conflicting changes is also shown. These history changes are also available on the web on Altium 365. Next, the process to create a personal version control server via a template on an SVN server is demonstrated. The project is committed to the SVN locally and moved into Altium 365 to utilize the web viewer and Altium 365 capabilities. However, this disables web viewer history visibility. Finally, the local version control system is migrated to the Altium 365 git version control to once again view the full project history. Read Article
