    Microchip Technology's Patrick Kennedy | Designing IoT Products to Scale

    Patrick Kennedy, a marketing applications engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses the complexities of designing IoT products for scale, emphasizing the need for modularity and early security integration. He explains how Microchip’s modular approach, using separate chips for connectivity and security, allows developers to swap components like LoRa or Wi-Fi without redesigning the entire system. Kennedy highlights the importance of defining 'real-time' requirements accurately to balance power consumption with performance, noting that device-side processing can significantly reduce cloud costs. He also advises on navigating supply chain challenges, such as minimum order quantities and long lead times, by maintaining part selection agility and leveraging certified wireless modules to accelerate time-to-market.

    How A Cornwall EMS Company Scales With Defense And Aerospace Demand, with Jon Hurrell, Sellectronics

    Jon Hurrell, Managing Director at Sellectronics, explains how the UK-based EMS provider scaled from a garage startup to a 52-employee operation handling complex SMT assembly for defense and aerospace clients. He details the supply chain disruptions caused by AI data center demand, which has stretched PCB lead times and created shortages for high-end BGAs and FPGAs. Hurrell describes the strategic shift from chasing prime suppliers to targeting tier one and two system builders and 'neo primes' in the drone sector, while highlighting the critical challenge of home-growing talent to fill the UK's electronics manufacturing skills gap.

    251: I Agreed at the Time

    Addie and Whisker of the Toymakers (@Tymkrs) discuss the creation of their 2018 CypherCon badge, a functional telephone system that required building a 96-line exchange and sourcing obsolete hardware. They detail the supply chain crisis involving a Korean modem module manufacturer that caused massive delays and cost overruns, forcing them to hand-solder 500 units the night before the conference. The episode covers the technical design of the badge, the interactive puzzles built into the conference infrastructure, and the broader culture of hacker conference badges.
