Altium® Tech Stack

Cloud-native PCB design and electronics development platform

Software Development La Jolla, California 501–1,000 employees Founded 1985 Public Company

Altium operates a deeply specialized EDA (electronics design automation) software stack built on Java, .NET, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes). The hiring mix is engineering-dominant (68 of 108 active roles), with senior-level hiring (68 senior roles) concentrated on cloud-native architecture, large-scale data processing, and observability—reflecting a platform migration toward Altium 365, a cloud-first electronics design environment. The active project roster (advanced search, AI/ML search, cloud platform, scalable infrastructure) reveals internal focus on search velocity and multi-tenant cloud reliability rather than core PCB design feature expansion.
