S5E36 Callye Keen | How to Accelerate the Speed of Engineering, Episode 2

Being an Engineer · 6 Sept 2024 · 1h 05m · Episode 36

What this episode covers

Callye Keen, founder of K-Form and Red Blue Collective, discusses strategies to accelerate engineering projects by addressing bottlenecks like poor Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and corporate bureaucracy. He advocates for 'failing fast' through rapid prototyping and buying competitor products to reverse engineer solutions, rather than relying solely on CAD. Keen emphasizes the importance of psychological safety, cross-functional collaboration using 'T-shaped' teams, and leveraging digital tools like Notion and Slack to maintain a single source of truth for distributed teams.

    082: Smooth Product Flow from Visual Design to Engineering

    Robert Irwin, former Lead Industrial Designer at Amazon for the Amazon Dash Cart, explains how industrial design and mechanical engineering teams can collaborate effectively to avoid costly rework. He advocates for an early, iterative 'ping pong' process where engineers and designers brainstorm constraints and user needs simultaneously, rather than passing work linearly 'over the fence.' Irwin emphasizes that dedicated project management and frequent stakeholder communication are essential to aligning technical feasibility with customer value before tooling begins.

    452: I Wish I’d Thought of That

    David Picciuto, Bob Clagett, and Jimmy Diresta discuss pivoting on the fly, with David remaking a vintage calculator using a Bambu Lab 3D printer and Bob building a custom camera stand to replace an expensive commercial product. The hosts also mourn the loss of community member Dave Gagné and reflect on how tight deadlines and external commitments, like a BetterHelp ad, force creative decisions and simplify complex projects like Jimmy's barn doors. They explore the psychology of making, arguing that building imperfect prototypes and iterating is more valuable than paralysis by analysis, and share tips on managing distractions and finding inspiration in maker communities.
