Altium Capabilities
for Modern System Engineers
Manage Requirements in One Shared Workspace
Bring system requirements into your ECAD platform. Enable engineers to view, implement, and validate requirements directly in their design tools to reduce misalignment, avoid rework, and ensure teams work from up-to-date data.
Ensure Compliance with Full Test Coverage
Plan and link verification and test cases to requirements and PCB designs. Track coverage and capture evidence to ensure compliance without disrupting engineering work. Make audits easier and reduce the risk of missed requirements.
Continuously Verify Designs Against Requirements
Convert requirements into parameters and automatically compare system performance against targets. Continuously verify system compliance and detect issues before they reach testing.
Discover Electronic Systems
Explore ideas early with smart block diagrams. Find reference designs in Octopart’s Solutions Explorer and speed up architecture with AI-driven component suggestions to validate concepts faster.
Develop PCBs of any Complexity
Seamlessly design electronic products with HDI, high-speed, multi-board, harness, and rigid-flex without needing any additional software. Accelerate complex system development while keeping everything in one tool.
Collaborate Seamlessly Across Disciplines
Collaborate with mechanical teams in real time. Ensure board fit, connector alignment, and thermal and mechanical compliance to avoid costly late-stage mechanical clashes.
Verify Performance Early with Built-In Analysis
Simulate system-level performance with SPICE in your ECAD environment without relying on expensive prototypes. Analyze signal integrity to verify system performance early and reduce the risk of board re-spins.
Project Insight
Track Design Progress & Risk
Across Your Electronics Projects in
Real Time
Keep Every Engineer Aligned
Share version-controlled requirements and design data with electronics, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams through a secure cloud workspace to reduce miscommunication. Keep everyone aligned to shorten iteration cycles.
Track Projects with Real-Time Updates
Monitor implementation and verification status on live dashboards and bi-directional integration with Jira to catch risks early and keep stakeholders aligned. Gain visibility without status meetings and prevent delays before they escalate.
Analyze the Impact
of Changes
Identify downstream effects of requirement changes or design modifications across linked artifacts to make informed decisions, minimize rework, and manage compliance risk proactively.
Manage Revisions
with Safe Rollbacks
Track PCB version history and manage design baselines with built-in version control. Maintain full traceability across system, schematic, and layout changes to ensure accountability and enable safe rollbacks whenever needed.
Save Hours Generating Compliance Documents
Automatically generate audit-ready compliance documentation for hardware designs. Save engineering hours and deliver consistent, audit-ready documentation.
Track Every Change
with Full Accountability
Automatically log and trace every requirement and design change, showing who changed what and when to maintain compliance and keep stakeholders aligned.
Manage Licenses and
Access with Confidence
Gain reliable access to design tools across distributed teams. Maintain clear, centralized control over who can use what, ensuring accountability and preventing unauthorized changes.
Deploy Securely Where
Your Team Needs
Choose the hosting model that works best for your organization: on-premises, cloud, or hybrid. Maintain compliance and security while enabling test and staging environments without ever risking production data.
Integrate with the Tools
You Already Use
Connect to PLM, Jira, and other enterprise systems through robust APIs and integrations, keeping design data aligned with your organization’s workflows.
