In a recent Design007 Survey, we asked the following question: What would help you streamline your design process? Here are just a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.

Jon Ashton, Vergent Products: Easier DFM rule setup for checks, and easier design rule setup for layout. Manufacturer data sheets should use package details that are orientated correctly.

Jose Moreira, Advantest: We need more experienced resources.

Tobias designed some of the PCBs used in that vehicle, so I asked him to tell us more about this experience, and what he hopes to do after graduation.
