Enable the Engineering Team - Tool & Library Management
Administer and optimize Altium Designer licenses, coordinate upgrades, and partner with IT for enterprise-level tool management.
Lead the consolidation of schematic and layout libraries across multiple existing design environments into a unified Altium ecosystem.
Establish and maintain a unified, authoritative Altium component library linked to our PLM system.
Develop, document, and champion the end-to-end process for submitting Altium designs to PLM.
Component Engineering - Strategy & Lifecycle
Drive adoption of automotive-grade components across new platform designs for best-in-class reliability.
Build and manage a common component platform strategy to accelerate design reuse and rapid product rollout.
Lead proactive cost reduction efforts through multi-vendor qualification and long-lifecycle component selection.
Synchronize new part creation workflows between Altium and PLM to eliminate errors and delays.
Qualify and validate alternate components to ensure supply chain resilience.
Own component lifecycle management: monitor end-of-life alerts, plan transitions, and maintain supply continuity.
PCB Layout Design - Excellence & Migration
