Skills:
Altium, layout, pcb, design, circuit, PCBA, battery, charger, high speed digital, mixed signal design
Anyone with Altium PCB layout who can describe some of these experiences:
- Altium version 28.8.1 or higher is a plus but any version of Altium is less work than converting from another software package.
- You could add the ability to setup net classes & apply design rules for layout and DRC (Design Rue Checking).
- Use of Altium with a PLM system is a plus (we are close to launching our integration of Altium with Siemens Teamcenter).
- Working with 100 amps
- Working with high current
- Working with High speed
- Battery and charger design
- Controlled impedance traces
- Noise mitigation
