whats the dip package?
sma connector
some sort of micro with rf out
button cell holder
2 buttons
4 leds
programming/ debug header
dip package doing some level shifting possibly
could be anything
you are quite right, the last one is a solid state relay that commutes the power source between the jtag connector and the cell batery
the package is a qfn48

Is it comparable to eagle?
Or something much better like Altirum or Allegro?

Unfortunately, industry begs to differ if you want a job in PCB design. In general all they care about are Altrium and Allegro.
