Elmatica Expands IT Department
March 18, 2021 | ElmaticaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Digitalization of the supply chain is a vital project for Elmatica and raises the bar for having the best IT developers.
Elmatica recently increased their IT Department with Junior Developer April Yeats, and is currently searching for another Senior Developer to join the team.
The Needle in the Haystack and the Eager Newcomers
“Meeting April, was an immediate mutual match. We are so happy to have her onboard. Adding juniors to the team is a win-win, they are committed, self driven and eager to learn. Cybersecurity and software development is on everyone's lips these days, thus, the search for experienced candidates within these fields can be as searching for the famous needle in the haystack.”, says IT Manager Robert Kurti.
The demand for experienced juniors within programming has increased in recent years. For Yeats, it was the first meeting with Elmatica that decided where she wanted to put her efforts.
“The day I turned up for my first interview at Elmatica, I was treated not as a number, but as a person. It became apparent very quickly just from the atmosphere that this was a welcoming community. As I was looking for my very first job in programming, I knew I had a lot to learn, and therefore valued a place that above all else would give me the support to further grow my skills and I felt that Elmatica could give me that”, says April Yeats.
Starting a New Job During a Pandemic
Even if the COVID-situation has affected how often she can meet her new colleagues and get to know the company and the people, the team feeling has never been missing, nor the challenges.
“From the get go, I was made to feel like a part of the team, even though we weren't all able to work in the office together. My immediate team has been extra accommodating to me, and although the first two weeks were a little intimidating, I was met with patience and understanding. I'm excited to continue learning, and to get to know everyone a little better, and embrace all the challenges thrown towards me, and they come daily”, Yeats finishes with a smile.

We highlighted some of the most cutting-edge achievements in facility layout, design, and equipment in the PCB fabrication industry. SEL was a shining example of what was possible, providing insight and inspiration to PCB fabricators looking toward growth and expansion.
Global Excellence in PCB Design: The Global Electronics Association Expands to Italy
08/07/2025 | Global Electronics AssociationIn today's rapidly evolving electronics industry, printed circuit boards (PCBs) serve as the critical backbone influencing the success, reliability, and time-to-market of countless products. Recognizing this essential role, the Global Electronics Association (formerly IPC), a worldwide leader in electronics standards, certification, and education, is now expanding its internationally acclaimed PCB design training to Italy.
Driving Innovation: Inner Layer Alignment Methods in PCB Production
08/06/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, precision is a fundamental requirement. Among many complex processes, the accurate registration of inner layers before lamination is one of the most critical. Much like a child's game where rings must be perfectly stacked onto a single pin, PCB manufacturers align multiple conductive and insulating layers to form a cohesive, functional board. This alignment directly affects PCB precision; tighter layer alignment results in smaller "annular rings," superior performance, and higher yields.
Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.
