The Need for Speed in Mil/Aero Manufacturing

10/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
Military and aerospace manufacturers are being asked to move faster, whether developing new drone technologies, responding to supply constraints, or getting new designs from prototype to production. James Hofer of Accurate Circuit Engineering sees that pressure as changing more than just manufacturing schedules. He talks about the growing role of quick-turn PCB fabrication, new relationships between defense primes and startups, and why even long-established approaches to standards and manufacturing have to become more adaptable.

What Climate Week NYC Conversations Mean for the Electronics Industry

10/09/2026 | Kelly Scanlon and Seth Jacobsen, Global Electronics Association
Climate Week NYC brought together plenty of big ideas, but the conversations that stayed with us were grounded in everyday business realities. Companies are thinking about sustainability in terms of what it means for their ability to manage risk, keep costs in check, secure materials and energy, and remain competitive. That is particularly relevant for electronics. Our industry relies on global supply chains, specialized materials, dependable infrastructure, and skilled people. As demand for AI, computing capacity, and new technologies grows, so does the pressure on all those systems.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Waking Up Europe's PCB Giants

09/30/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
When I wrote "The Rise and Fall of Europe’s PCB Design Community,” for the September issue of I-Connect007 Magazine, I wasn't suggesting Europe had suddenly solved its PCB problems; far from it. The region still faces high costs, dependence on imported electronics, shrinking capacity, and a supply chain that has lost too much ground. I used the word awakening because the technical ability never disappeared. The engineers, researchers, equipment builders, and manufacturers are still here. The question is whether Europe can connect them before more capability slips away.

Bridging the Pacific: Why Global Manufacturing Is No Longer Optional

09/23/2026 | Tianming Liu -- Column: Bridging the Pacific
Today, no serious electronics manufacturer operates in isolation. Even a company producing entirely within its own country depends on materials, equipment, software, components, technical standards, and knowledge likely developed elsewhere. Global manufacturing is not a possibility in the future, but is already present in the machines we operate, the products we build, and the markets we serve.

The Skills Match Is Becoming the New Hiring Challenge

09/21/2026 | Brittany Martin, I-Connect007
The U.S. labor market may be settling into a more moderate hiring environment, but manufacturing hiring (including electronics manufacturing) has remained robust. Recent data from Indeed Hiring Lab show that overall U.S. job postings have hovered close to their pre-pandemic baseline, standing just 1.8% above February 2020 levels as of mid-August. Production and manufacturing, however, have gained momentum. Job postings in the sector increased approximately 8% over the past year. The latest federal job openings data tell a similar story.
