Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Cadence Named One of World's Best Workplaces
October 21, 2021 | Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced that Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work have honored the company as one of the 2021 World’s Best Workplaces for the sixth time. This year, Cadence ranked 17. The 25 World’s Best Workplaces were selected from organizations that participated in Great Place to Work’s employee survey process, representing the voices of 19.8 million employees worldwide. These workplaces stood out for creating globally exceptional employee experiences, high-trust relationships and workplaces that are fair and equal for all.
Anirudh Devgan, president and incoming CEO of Cadence said, “The recognition is a testament to the hard work of our employees and our commitment to a One Cadence—One Team culture. Throughout the ever-changing and challenging nature of the pandemic, our team has remained focused and resilient. This award reflects the many Great Place to Work recognitions we have received globally, and I want to thank every employee for their determination as we accelerate innovation, delight our customers, support our communities and celebrate diversity.”
Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work said, “In a global workforce, alignment is everything, and these companies are fortifying their culture around the world—a nearly impossible feat. Even when tested by the pandemic, these companies recognize sub-communities in each region and their leaders carry an equitable employee experience across cultures. A huge congratulations to the World’s Best in 2021.”
Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in the world that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.
In 2021, Cadence also ranked as a Great Place to Work in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and in the United States, where we received recognition as one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. Cadence received regional recognition as a Best Workplace in Asia and a Best Workplace in Europe.

April Issue of I-Connect007 Magazine: Beyond the Rulebook
04/14/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamIn this month’s I-Connect007 Magazine, we asked PCB designers, fabricators, and suppliers what it really means to operate without a rulebook. Their perspectives vary, especially between seasoned designers and experienced fabricators, but a common thread emerges: progress depends on pushing boundaries and finding a way forward, even when the path isn’t clear. In many ways, this mindset has always been part of what we do, whether we’ve called it that or not.
Powering the Future: Why Thermal Management Defines the Future of Electronics
04/15/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureEvery leap forward in electronics comes with a familiar consequence: heat. Whether it’s a power module driving an electric vehicle, a laser diode used in surgery, or a 5G amplifier operating in orbit, higher performance inevitably means higher temperatures. While engineers celebrate breakthroughs in speed, density, and power, none of those specifications matter if the system can’t keep cool long enough to perform reliably.
