As a role of Research and Development Engineer majoring in PCB design am responsible for contributing to the development and implementation of new PCB designs and conducting research on existing PCB designs for the Industrial Machine Vision industry application (PCB inspection and Electronics components inspection).

Altium 365 helps to streamline PCB design workflow especially by enabling live comment and task assignment among other designers. It is an excellent platform and I love it!

The competition was a fun and engaging way to learn about the Altium 365 Viewer's collaboration and sharing capabilities. It's UI is very intuitive making it the perfect tool for engineers and designers of any experience looking to work together seamlessly.

Competition was fun! We use webviewer and the built-in review functionality for every project we do, it’s a game changer for design reviews.

I have very much enjoyed taking part of the competition, it is always nice to hone your skills and challenge yourself to find every mistake during these competitions. And I am glad to hear I did well! The best thing about the Altium 365 Web Viewer is the easy access to designs it allows even when I haven’t brought a PC or Laptop with Altium installed. I can quickly log-in, share and discuss no matter where I am.

As a PCB designer specialized in RF design, my role is to support Bosch-Sensortec in qualifying and characterizing their sensors by designing and consulting on the design of PCBs.

As a designer, I find it both inspiring and useful to observe the work of other talented professionals. Participating in this contest gave me the opportunity to learn new techniques that I can incorporate into my future designs. After looking at the contest page, I shared it with my team and pointed out questionable areas that could potentially detrimentally affect the final product. It's important to pay attention to even the smallest details to ensure the success of any project.

R&D lab for power electronics. I use Altium to create schematics and layouts then hand assemble the prototype.

The competition was fun. I thought of it as an exercise to finding errors before a board gets fabricated. Looks like I have made many mistakes over the years because I recognized them in the contest. The Altium 365 Web Viewer was pretty good. It is not a feature I have used before. I have not used it after the contest. The nature of my position does not utilize the web feature. I can see how it could be really nice for teams that are working from home or who do not have a computer with Altium.

My main role is designing schematics and artwork for Variable Frequency Drives and Phase converters, as well as other auxiliary boards such as filtering boards and power supply boards. I also aid with any problems in manufacturing our boards.

It was surprisingly smooth. I needed to upgrade my work PC recently to run Altium better, and that was on a dedicated desktop program, so I expected the web version to be even more laggy. I never ran into any problems on the web version. This made the competition fun and enjoyable.
