I-Connect007 is thrilled to announce the release of the latest episode in Series 3 of its popular podcast, On the Line With... , available now on Apple and Spotify.
In “PCB 3.0: A New Design Methodology—More Power to the EE,” we continue the theme of bringing more decision-making power to the design process. This time, we're discussing how to bring more "power" (and "signal”) to the electrical engineer with our guest, Supreeth Mannava, Cadence Design Systems.
What should manufacturers know? What does this mean for EEs and the new generation of designers? Listen to find out!

Making AI Practical for PCB Design
03/05/2026 | Steve Watt, ZukenArtificial intelligence has entered nearly every corner of engineering software. In PCB design, however, meaningful adoption has been slower and for good reason. Unlike image generation or text analysis, PCB layout is not a data-rich, rules-light problem. It is a precision-driven engineering discipline in which creativity, accuracy, and strict compliance with constraints must coexist. Zuken’s work on AI-assisted PCB design reflects this reality. Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for engineering expertise, our CR-8000 Autonomous Intelligent Place and Route (AIPR) applies machine learning selectively in ways that align with how designers actually think and work.
