White Paper

How Leading R&D Teams Cut Design Cycles by 70% or More

This white paper analyzes the operational patterns of high-velocity electronics R&D teams achieving dramatic reductions in design iteration time. Through examination of workflow transformations, resource allocation strategies, and validation methodologies, readers will understand how modern teams are overcoming the traditional bottlenecks of PCB development. The research reveals specific, repeatable approaches that enable continuous prototyping without proportional increases in engineering headcount—a critical capability as complexity rises and talent remains scarce.

Key Takeaways

  • Discover the three workflow patterns that distinguish teams achieving 5x iteration speed from those stuck in traditional cycles
  • Learn how physics-driven validation enables concurrent design exploration without sacrificing manufacturability
  • Understand the metrics that matter: from first-spin success rates to time-per-iteration breakdowns across different board complexities
  • Identify the resource allocation strategies that let teams run multiple design candidates simultaneously without adding staff
  • Evaluate real-world implementation timelines and the measurable impact on product development schedules
