Elementary, Mr. Watson
Column from: John Watson
John Watson, CID, has been in the electronics industry for 40 years, with 20 of them being in PCB design. With a career started in the U.S. Army in the early 1980s, where he worked as an electronics technician on top-secret military systems. In the early 1990s, the electronics industry changed how repairs were done, going from a component level to board level. With that, John reinvented himself, moving into the PCB design and engineering field. With an extraordinary career that has placed him on the cutting-edge of technology with top-rated companies around the world, John is a highly sought-out consultant, writer, and speaker. But his real passion lies in mentoring and teaching—especially the next generation of PCB designers and engineers—and reminding them that they are the builders of dreams. As of March 2022, he is referred to as Professor Watson at Palomar College in San Marcos, California.
