    Mayan-on-Chip: Training Mexico's Next Semiconductor Engineers

    Nasska Medrano of Altium Education and Professor Johan Estrada of the Autonomous University of Yucatán (UADY) discuss the Mayan-on-Chip initiative, a workforce development program in southeastern Mexico designed to train engineers in electronics, embedded systems, and semiconductors. The first cohort exceeded expectations with 72 graduates, addressing the gap between academic theory and industry needs for practical PCB design and semiconductor skills. They highlight how Mexico's national semiconductor plan and nearshoring trends are driving a shift from pure manufacturing to engineering and R&D, requiring coordinated efforts among government, academia, and industry partners like Intel and Microsoft.

    Nearshoring Manufacturing from Asia to Mexico: Risks, Rewards, and Realities w/ Matt Hannula

    Matt Hannula, CEO of Tinker Tin, explains the strategic decision to nearshore manufacturing from China to Mexico, citing quality control, speed, and geopolitical risks as primary drivers. He details how Tinker Tin scaled to $20 million in revenue by leveraging facilities in San Diego and Mexico to serve brands like Boot Barn and Red Bull, avoiding the complexities and hidden costs of overseas shipping. Hannula emphasizes the importance of overcoming cultural 'good enough' mindsets through rigorous engineering standards and building redundant, diversified supply chains to mitigate risk.

    Ally shoring: Expanding manufacturing operations into Mexico

    Alberto Villarreal, founder and managing director of Nepanoa, explains 'ally shoring'—expanding US manufacturing operations into Mexico and Latin America—as a strategic alternative to offshoring to Asia. He outlines key benefits including 50% labor cost reductions, USMCA legal protections, and shared time zones, while noting that over 75% of Fortune 1000 companies already operate in Mexico. Villarreal details the expansion process, from defining strategic intent to navigating financing barriers and workforce demographics, citing success stories like Solar Plastics and a Dallas-based plastic assembler who relocated from China.

    The Critical Shift: Bridging the Generational Gap in PCB Design

    Cory Blaylock, Director of Workforce Partnerships at IPC, discusses the critical generational gap in the electronics manufacturing industry caused by the retirement of experienced workers who gained their skills before manufacturing moved offshore. He details IPC's new Department of Labor-approved national apprenticeship program, designed to provide a standardized 'plug-and-play' model for employers to upskill workers and attract new talent through high school and community college partnerships. Blaylock highlights the shift in perception of manufacturing from 'dirty jobs' to high-tech STEM careers and explains how stackable apprenticeships can lead to engineering roles or frontline leadership.
