Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

In this column from NCAB, four authors team up to explore fresh PCB concepts.
Jeffrey Beauchamp started his career in the PCB industry in 2003 at PD Circuits. When NCAB Group acquired PD Circuits in 2012, he was instrumental in facilitating the transition working with the teams in China, Europe, and the U.S. With his PCB design, engineering, and production background, he is able to work with PCB customers providing optimal solutions. Jeffrey is a field applications engineer and a key member of NCAB Group’s Global Technical Council, which is responsible for continuing to stay abreast of emerging technologies.
Mike Marshall is a field applications engineer with NCAB North Central Regional Office. He has 40 years of experience in the PCB Industry. His career began with PCB manufacturing processes and development including but not limited to process engineering, equipment development, plating processes engineering, photoimaging techniques, and NC-drill/rout programing. Later in his career, he went on to develop experience in PCB assembly and electro-mechanical assembly operations in QA management before joining NCAB Group in 2019. Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Mike is a proud South Side Irishman and avid Chicago White Sox baseball fan. He is a past executive board member of International Lion’s Club, and an active supporter and member of Knights of Columbus.
Ryan Miller is a field applications engineer at NCAB Group with decade of experience in PCB manufacturing and DFM analysis. He graduated from DeVry University with a B.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology. In his free time, Ryan likes to spend time with his wife and daughter. In addition, he likes fly fishing and reading technical articles.
Ramon Roche is a field applications engineer for NCAB Group in the South East regional office. As a mechanical engineer, his career started in the industrial automation industry where he gained a breath of knowledge in manufacturing process and equipment development. He brings experience supporting customers throughout the entire sales and production process. At NCAB, he specializes in sustainability and champions NCAB Groups aggressive approach to tackling these important issues. Outside of work, Ramon is an avid sports fan, both as a spectator and recreational athlete. He enjoys spending time outside, connecting with nature and building community with others.
