In the realm of engineering, the development of both software and hardware demands rigorous processes to ensure efficiency, reliability, and maintainability. While they serve distinct purposes, the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and the hardware development lifecycle (HDLC) share striking similarities.

Git has become an essential tool in modern software development workflows, providing a robust and flexible foundation for version control and collaboration. But, it’s not limited to just code. It is also used for versioning and tracking changes in various types of files and projects, including hardware development.

Over the last 6 months, the global semiconductor shortage has been consistently making news for the wave of resulting disruption across the hardware world. From automotive to consumer electronics, virtually every hardware industry has had to scramble to find component replacements ranging from sophisticated ICs to simple microcontrollers.

Because software and hardware are so closely connected, they are starting to cross-pollinate across teams. Hardware engineers are cherry picking what can improve their current processes. Although these principles cannot be simply copied and pasted from SW to HW development, much can be borrowed and adapted. We broke down how to do so in 8 ways.

Hardware engineers are all too familiar with what in-person design reviews look like. As engineering evolves, however, they are being replaced by asynchronous collaboration on a platform. Here’s why many in-person meetings are being replaced by digital design reviews.
Digital design reviews are moving beyond the conference room Read More »
For those of you, like myself, that haven’t been quite so diligent in building their own list, I’ve finally scraped all corners of the web and drawn from my own mistakes to build the best mega-checklist around.

I was always quick to utilize digital design tools to augment my hardware designs. Programming classes were a big part of my undergraduate program, so even starting as an intern, I was given a lot of coding work that hardware engineers didn’t want to do (usually automating test fixtures or scopes).
