Engineer Steve Weir Has Passed Away

Reading time ( words)

We’re sad to report late-breaking news that independent engineering consultant Steve Weir has died. No details are available at this time.

Steve was a power and signal integrity guru with a variety of patents to his name. A fixture of DesignCon and a constant presence on the SI-List signal integrity forum, Steve wrote over a dozen papers on power integrity. 

He also had a crazy, irreverent sense of humor that you don’t find among most engineers. I first met Steve about 10 years ago at DesignCon. He introduced me to a few other EEs, with caveats such as, “John’s an SI engineer, but more importantly, the statute of limitations has run out on his unprosecuted felonies. And don’t let him near your wife. Or your son, for that matter.”

It was like that with Steve. He didn’t seem to have a pause button. The world needs more people like that.

He will be missed.

The second day of the virtual AltiumLive 2020 event got off to a great start with a class by Dr. Eric Bogatin. It was officially titled “You Must Unlearn What You’ve Learned,” but it could have just as easily been called “Designing Interconnect That Sucks Less.”

AltiumLive 2020 was a virtual event, and Happy Holden attended all the keynotes, as well as many other sessions. This article summarizes three panel discussions from Dugan Karnazes, Dr. Eric Bogatin, and Judy Warner, which were all worth the time investment.
