Designing PCBs for Mars: DKB Resources' Complex Design Process Management

DKB Resources, a successful electronics service bureau, has carved a niche in developing specialized Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for organizations in the space and military industry. However, this commitment comes with a significant responsibility. The company must work within the strict requirements of its clients, design using specific sets of standards and guidelines, and ensure that its designs can withstand harsh environments like space. This necessitates a strong emphasis on quality, reliability, documentation, and good communication with clients. The company's work is checked by program managers, procurement managers, and administrative support managers, each with their own data requirements and document standards. This complex process is likened to being multilingual by Darya Bronston, President of DKB Resources. The company's line of work leaves no room for error, as people's lives could depend on the reliability of a design.
