Wolfram Ploetz

Electronics Engineer

I have worked as an electronics design engineer since 1992, mostly on industrial control applications until I joined Sigma Design in 2022. Aside from schematic design and PCB layout, I am also experienced in FPGA programming, electromagnetic compatibility, and assisting contract manufacturers with building and testing the electronic assemblies, as well as troubleshooting issues in the field.

Questions & Answers

How do you make people laugh?

I love creatively silly ideas related to something my colleagues and I are working on.

If you were a tool or piece of equipment, what would you be and why?

Any of various kinds of aircraft. Those can provide a comprehensive overview of something and also quickly move things in the right direction.

What's your favorite productivity hack or time-saving trick?

When creating a large, patterned set of (e.g. circuit) design data would be tedious and time-consuming via the native application, I sometimes like to write little programs to generate those automatically.
