The Millennium Team
The Millennium Design team is comprised of seasoned industry veterans, who enjoy customer interaction and the challenge complex PCB design offers. You work directly with one of Millennium's senior level design staff throughout the project rather than a group of random designers who each work in a "piece meal" fashion on their portion of the project. Millennium's bullet proof design process coupled with our senior team ensures your project is delivered on time and budget.

Millennium's continual commitment to training and the use of today's leading technologies give our design engineers a thorough knowledge of advanced solutions which are applied to your project. All of Millennium's experienced staff work with current, top-tier tools including Cadence Allegro, SPECCTRA Autorouters, OrCAD, Concept and Valor Enterprise 3000.
