Brett Adcock (@adcock_brett) argues hardware engineering is difficult due to high capital costs, long lead times, and roughly a dozen separate engineering teams with conflicting requirements. He recommends solving these coordination and complexity problems through excellent systems engineering design to align teams and manage trade-offs.
Brett Adcock (@adcock_brett) says hardware is hard partly because of high capital costs and long hardware lead times.
My favorite hardware engineering image!
What makes hardware so difficult, besides high capital costs & long hardware lead times, is that there are a dozen individual engineering teams with often conflicting requirements. You fix this with great systems engineering design 🫠
