PCB Design Project Leads

A Project Lead in PCB design is a skilled professional who excels at creating plans that support project goals and facilitate efficient team performance. They collaborate with department heads and other stakeholders to establish team objectives and delegate tasks to individual team members. The Project Lead's success is often measured by their ability to meet performance goals and technical specifications.

In addition to the title of Project Lead, this role is also known by several other job titles, such as Project Engineer, Lead Designer, Team Lead, Design Team Leader, Hardware Engineer, Mechatronics Designer, and System Engineer. These titles reflect the diverse range of skills and areas of expertise that are required for success in this role, from engineering and design to hardware and mechatronics. Overall, the Project Lead plays a vital role in ensuring that PCB design projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.

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
