Engineering Management

Your Team Isn't the Bottleneck.
Coordinating It Is.

You always know where the work stands, and you can keep it moving.

Share the Current Design, Not a File Copy

Share a project directly from Altium Designer through an Altium 365 workspace. Reviewers open it in a browser, cross-probe schematic, PCB, and 3D views, and take measurements, without installing Altium Designer.

Explore Design Sharing

Keep Feedback Attached to the Design

Pin comments to the exact component, net, or design area, and convert feedback into an assigned task. Designers keep working in Altium Designer while reviewers contribute via the browser.

Know What Changed and Preserve Project History

Committed revisions in an Altium 365 workspace create a clear project history. Compare schematic and PCB revisions visually, return to earlier states, and get notified when content you rely on changes.

Explore Version Control

Reuse a Proven Project Starting Point

Project templates carry forward the setup that should repeat: structure, document set, and configuration. Start from an established foundation each time rather than rebuilding it, and reuse what works across projects.

One Standard Flow, From Requirements to Release

Prebuilt and configurable workflows move every project from task to task automatically, with review gates and rework loops built in. When a review stalls, reassign it without breaking the process.

Explore Process Workflows

Every Requirement Linked to the Design That Implements It

Import requirements from existing specs into the Requirements Portal, assign them to schematic blocks and the engineers responsible, and track validation coverage. When a requirement changes, you see exactly what is affected.

Run Structured Design Reviews in the Browser

Review schematics and PCB layouts asynchronously, with checklist templates, comments captured in context, and every reviewer's status tracked to closure. The result is a recorded, repeatable review, not a thread of emails. 

Explore Design Review

Edit the Same Board at the Same Time

PCB-CoDesign lets several designers work on one layout in parallel. Review each teammate's changes, check for conflicts, and merge with confidence. Nobody waits their turn, and nothing gets overwritten.

See Who Changed What, and When

The workspace events log gives the team visibility into project activity, with author attribution behind every change. That traceability is the foundation the whole team relies on when a question comes up later.

Governed Workflows, at Any Scale

Enforced stage gates, approvals, and compliance checks run the same way across every site and product line, with every decision on the audit trail. Stalled review? Reassign it and keep the process moving.

Record Every Design Change Automatically, Without Effort

Every modification, commit, and project event is recorded automatically (who changed what, when, and why) giving engineering managers a complete, always-current history without manual documentation effort.

Connect Every Engineering Domain on One Platform

Digital bridges keep data consistent across ECAD, MCAD, and simulation domains, letting engineering managers align cross-functional teams without handoff friction or version conflicts.

Learn More

Align Engineering and Procurement Around One BOM

A single governed BOM connects engineering, procurement, and manufacturing, so component risk, cost, and compliance data stay visible to engineers as they design rather than surfacing after the design is locked.

Learn More

Lock In Commercial Feasibility at the Moment of Design

Engineers select components using pre-negotiated pricing, preferred supplier status, and historical category data, so commercial feasibility is locked in alongside technical viability and not discovered later by procurement.

Extend Governed Access to Every Partner and Team

Role-based access, SSO/SCIM, and scoped external permissions let engineering managers extend collaboration to partners and contractors without losing control over who can act and what they can reach.
