Ensuring the Next Generation of U.S. Weapons Has Homegrown Electronics
03/31/2026 | David Schild, PCBAAThe U.S. has in the works several new weapons to counter emerging enemy threats. These include new warships, fighter aircraft, bombers, submarines, drones and a network of air defenses to defend the entire U.S. against missile and air attacks. And yet the U.S. will be challenged to produce key electronics within these systems known as printed circuit boards (PCBs), which are primarily sourced domestically. While the U.S. government has played a key role in helping to revive the domestic semiconductor industry, with the exception of some funding through the Defense Product Act it has largely ignored domestic production of PCBs.
The Right Approach: Reflections on 50 Years in the Business, Part 3
03/31/2026 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachWaking up that first day in 2013 after being informed my position of 15 years had been eliminated, I realized that everything I had done in my career had positioned me for a new chapter. This included the hands-on leadership experience in PCB manufacturing, learning from over 1,000 global companies, and my industry exposure while working at Plexus. My passion for writing, educating, speaking, and passing along my experience to others made it clear that this was the time to pursue my dream job: owning a consulting company.
A Critical Moment for Europe’s Electronics Ecosystem
03/03/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineAs Europe reexamines its industrial strategy amid geopolitical shifts, how does electronics become a critical priority? In this interview, Alison James, senior director Europe, government relations, at the Global Electronics Association, explains how industry advocacy is influencing the review of the European Chips Act, and why the conversation must extend beyond semiconductors to include PCBs, EMS, and complete systems. With 27 member states to align, can policy move fast enough to secure Europe’s electronics future?
Beyond the Board: The Benefits of Early PCB Engagement in Aerospace and Defense Programs
02/03/2026 | Jesse Vaughan -- Column: Beyond the BoardAerospace and defense programs don’t operate on commercial timelines. Once a platform is qualified, it may remain in production, sustainment, or upgrade cycles for decades. Yet many of the most consequential decisions affecting that lifecycle are often made at the PCB design stage, and long before a program reaches production or even formal qualification.
Life Is a Highway: A Family of 8 Turned the Entire U.S. Into a Learning and Working Environment
11/04/2025 | Steven Bowles, Lockheed MartinIt’s 6:45 a.m. in a modern A-frame cabin tucked into the misty edges of the Cascade Range in Arlington, Washington. I’ve just made a quick Nespresso, checked my calendar of virtual meetings, and verified the Airbnb’s Wi-Fi speed is holding steady. In the next room, my wife Lynsey corrals our six kids into breakfast while planning a day trip to Seattle’s Children’s Museum. By 7:30, I’m camera-ready in a makeshift office nook, leading a discussion on HDI PCB design for an IPC standards committee. After a busy day, our Bowles crew, ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old, is hands-on with activities and exhibits in the museum.
