Next-Generation Electronics Design

Next-Generation Electronics Design

Date
-

Thought leadership from IPC’s Chief Technologist (CTC) and Design Leadership (DLC) Councils takes form in a new white paper, "Better Electronics by Design: Next Generation Design Needs." The paper explores the elements of the “Design for Excellence” methodology, rethinking how it needs to be further defined and applied in the full ecosystem of electronics design. 

Join white paper contributors in a webinar “Next-Generation Electronics Design” on October 14, 2024, at 12:00 pm EDT as they take a deep dive into the subject of design rules and “design for manufacturability.”

In this webinar you will learn about: 

  • Silicon to systems collaboration 
  • Facilitation of an Authoritative Source of Truth (ASOT) as mandatory to ensure consistency, efficiency, and traceability 
  • Electronic and mechanical CAD systems interoperability 
  • Design rules broken down to the relevant stages of the design workflow 
  • Design for Manufacturability execution 
  • IPC Design Initiative 

Speakers: 

  • Jennifer Waskow, Collins Aerospace 
  • John Watson, Altium 
  • Steve Watt, Zuken USA 
  • Susan Kayesar, Siemens

Road to Reliability: Hardware for the Software Defined Vehicle (e-Mobility Electronics Hardware Reliability Webinar Series)

Road to Reliability: Hardware for the Software Defined Vehicle (e-Mobility Electronics Hardware Reliability Webinar Series)

Date
-

We are delighted to welcome Maite Bezerra of Wards Intelligence, Andreas Heim of Flex, and Brian O'Leary of Indium to discuss the impact of the Software Defined Vehicle on hardware design and manufacture. 

Whether for EV applications or general automotive applications, there is no denying that the reliability of software depends in great part to hardware's ability to support it. This webinar will discuss how automakers and system designers are addressing future features in their hardware design, the impact of these strategies on the manufacturing of these parts, how safety is rated and reliability targeted and tested. 

Our "Road to Reliability" series aims to bring industry leaders together to discuss the hurdles in achieving reliability for new e-mobility technology. We will examine reliability drivers, technology applications, and target lifecycles. 

Join us for this informative session to better understand technology gaps, broaden your professional connections, and uncover strategies for meeting reliability objectives. 

Moderator: Brian O'Leary, Indium Corporation 

We want to thank our Road to Reliability series sponsor: Indium Corporation
