How can Engineers spend so much time designing circuits and then screw the whole project by poor layout...usually thrown over the wall to the CAD designer with some hastily generated design guidelines.
Honeywell's response will be to "farm out" these designs once the warranty and production cost get so high they can't support them profitably.
Are there any good Hardware Engineers left or are they just back filling with cheap foreign labor That's the bottom line isn't it? Bid a program for the cheapest amount possible and then worry about why it doesn't pass qualification testing later. That's M&PM for you!
