The Guide to Insourcing vs Outsourcing PCB Design Engineering Projects

By Brian White | January 30, 2023

Designing complex printed circuit boards can require many different skillsets, including electrical and mechanical engineering, signal, power and thermal engineering, physical design (layout), design for assembly (DFA), design for test (DFT) design for manufacturing (DFM) engineering. Insufficient or inexperienced resources in any of these disciplines can stagnate the process causing missed deadlines or an ineffective design.

This book aims to cover the the pros and cons of bringing on internal resources (insourcing) versus outsourcing your PCB design projects.
