Hardware teams are shipping faster and under more scrutiny than ever — but the systems meant to support them haven't kept up. Altium, a global leader in electronic design, recently acquired Duro, a company reinventing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to be AI-native, API-first, and programmable.
Join a panel discussion led by Altium and Duro executives, in conversation with two Altium customers, about the changing world of hardware design and testing.
Justin Sears (Altium) and Michael Corr, co-founder of Duro, now part of Altium, sit down with two founders who use Altium in their day-to-day operations:
Florian Grigoleit, CEO of Modelwise, a leader in automated safety analysis for critical hardware systems
Grant Chapman, CEO of Glassboard, a team of designers and mechanical, electrical, and embedded software engineers providing hardware design services
This expert panel will discuss questions like:
What does "AI-native" actually mean in a hardware engineering workflow?
Why do most hardware companies still struggle with traceability?
What does "agile" actually mean for hardware?
How early should safety analysis occur in the development process?
What should the modern hardware tech stack look like in 2030?
