PCB Design Review Gaps
Hardware teams lack reliable, automated pre-fabrication review and verification of PCB designs, causing costly respins and delays.
In their words
schematic and pcb reviews are a genuine and time consuming part of the design process
I wasted a few evenings with it and found it to be nonfunctional as an experienced EE with many successful designs in my career.
a one-off point-to-point means im handing you a from/to list i probably threw together fast, and honestly half the time theres an error in it.
I just would like to have a dictionary of sorts handy when looking up stuff, and not having to tell people "just trust me" when training them.
I currently have around $6000 in tooling I paid for about to run test parts.
We're pretty bad at wiring harness design. Doing a lot of branched power and data cables, mix of indoor/outdoor and mix of shielding requirements.
I spend half my week just intercepting these models so we don't look like complete idiots when they open the step files
after about 4 months of these questions, I am starting to question if it will ever end
When clients come with unique requirements, we need a brand-new engineering design to check materials, quote a price, and estimate lead time.
Are there any alternative approaches that can reduce the PCB manufacturing cost while still providing effective current conduction and thermal management?
the only thing that ever fixed it at my last shop was making test part of the design review gates
The amount of times i've had to beg borrow or steal to do basic firmware stuff is beyond aggravation.
each design-assemble-test cycle takes weeks/months, and each testing/diagnosing/repairing session takes hours or days.
the designer has no awareness of supply chain. They'll bake in a chip that has a 4 week lead time without even realizing it
PCB and hardware engineers
Where they talk
- r/PCB
- r/hwstartups
- r/embedded
- r/PrintedCircuitBoard
- r/MechanicalEngineering
- r/KiCad
- r/ElectricalEngineering
- r/FPGA
Tools they use today
- KiCad
- Altium
- Claude
- Excel
- ChatGPT
- Fictiv
- OrCAD
- Cadence
Why those fall short
- 3D printing teaches wrong rules; no automated manufacturability check before release
- CAD allows impossible geometry with no material thickness or bend radius checks
- Excel model is a fragile monster; planning is manual and error-prone
- datasheet lacks maximum power consumption and inrush specs
- Local fabs don't use Altium and can't extract data from files
