AllSpice

I'm extremely excited to kickstart the next round of AllSpice's growth with two new product roles! 🚀 Both of these roles will lead a development team to productize their respective features in AllSpice. Sr. Technical Product Manager (Actions) - You're a hardware nerd who's been frustrated with the lack of automation and data access in electronics design. You're thrilled at the prospect of running wild with near-infinite access to circuit metadata to build extensible plugins to automate design validation, generate exports, run simulations, and connect to external data APIs. 🤖 Sr. Technical Product Manager (AI) - You've been an early adopter, introducing AI features in your past products. You understand how to tame large amounts of data for use in RAG to get consistent, functional output from LLMs, and you're not afraid to talk tensors. 🧠 See more on our careers page: www.allspice.io/careers https://lnkd.in/eyikwWeG https://lnkd.in/e8UP8yXu

On-Prem ECAD Isn’t Dead—But It's Losing Ground... Once the bedrock of hardware development, on-prem ECAD setups are no longer the default. That shift isn’t just about convenience—it’s about enabling modern hardware teams to move faster, collaborate better, and build smarter. Based on our team's conversations with engineers, this post explores: 🔐 Why companies are holding onto on-prem (and why that’s not always a bad thing) ☁️ What’s driving the shift to cloud and hybrid solutions 🤔 How to think strategically about ECAD hosting based on your team’s actual needs 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/geY3VFhV If your team is still navigating this transition—or resisting it - we'd love to hear your perspective.

💻 On-Prem ECAD Isn’t Dead—But It Is Losing Ground Once the bedrock of hardware development, on-prem ECAD setups are no longer the default. That shift isn’t just about convenience—it’s about enabling modern hardware teams to move faster, collaborate better, and build smarter. At AllSpice, we’ve seen firsthand how the most forward-thinking teams are re-evaluating their tool stacks. In this post, I explore: Why companies are holding onto on-prem (and why that’s not always a bad thing) What’s driving the shift to cloud and hybrid solutions How to think strategically about ECAD hosting based on your team’s actual needs 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/geY3VFhV If your team is still navigating this transition—or resisting it—I’d love to hear your perspective. #ECAD #HardwareDevelopment #CloudTools #EngineeringLeadership #AllSpice

When I first met Valentina Ratner, she had just started AllSpice and I'd recently moved back to the Bay Area after a decade in New York. Nearly four years later, she and her team have changed the game on how electrical engineers develop and deploy hardware. Chris Rill and I sat down with her on our latest episode of TRADEOFFS to hear how her beginnings as a Mechanical Engineer lead her to develop software for other hardware professionals, and the unique trade-offs she's had to make as she's grown into her role as CEO. It was a great conversation for any engineers interested in becoming founders, and hardware teams looking for new tools to help them move faster and be more collaborative. Give it a listen! https://tradeoffs.fm/7

[New podcast episode] Nate Padgett & Chris Rill chat w/ Valentina Ratner, Co-Founder & CEO of AllSpice about: 🛠️ The challenges hardware engineers face with outdated collaboration tools 🔌 How Git workflows can be adopted electronics design, and 📈 AllSpice's co-founder story of pivoting from technical engineer to startup CEO and sales leader. This episode is full of insights on building developer tools, creating customer love, and the evolving intersection of hardware and software development practices. https://tradeoffs.fm/7 #HardwareDevelopment #HardwareDesign #HardwareEngineering #ElectronicsDesign #ElectricalEngineering #PCB #PCBDesign #ECAD

Another week, another show! Today we'll begin meeting with even more customers and new faces at APEC Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition in Atlanta! Stop by Booth 329 to see the platform in action and chat all things #HardwareDevelopment #ECAD #HardwareEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ElectricalDesign #HardwareDesign #PCBDesign

It's the final day of embedded world Exhibition&Conference - thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to see how other engineering teams are modernizing the way they develop hardware. See you next year! #EmbeddedWorld2025 #EmbeddedWorld #PCBDesign #HardwareDevelopment #HardwareWorkflows #HardwareEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ElectronicsDesign #ECAD #HardwareDesign
