Three Challenges Impacting Development

Organizations

Accelerating Design Complexity

Modern PCB systems are highly complex 1 Challenge

Workforce Changes

Shrinking workforce of dedicated layout designers

Engineering graduate rates in decline

2 Challenge

3 Challenge Systems Aware Engineering

Transitioning from stand-alone PCB projects to a systems-based approach


Systems are far more complex today than they were just five years ago.

• Demand for increased functionality

• Higher performance

• A smaller form factor

• Lower cost

• High manufacturability

• Faster design time

The hardest positions to fill

are the ones that are needed

most.


Systems-Aware Engineering 3 Challenge

Any product requires the

integration of multiple

disciplines.
