The level of detail and complexity of PCB design means that a change in one component necessitates changes in other areas. Adopting a concurrent design approach creates efficiency in that process by enabling seamless and timely communication of changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens. I\u2019m glad to be joined by Chris Young, owner and lead engineer of Young Engineering services. He\u2019ll help us understand what concurrent design entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, you\u2019ll learn about what true concurrent design is and the benefits that come with it. You\u2019ll also learn about some of the best practices to follow when implementing it in your organization. Additionally, you\u2019ll learn about the biggest roadblocks to its adoption in the design field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019ll learn in this episode:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What concurrent design involves (02:00)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An example of concurrent design (05:28)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The best practices to follow when implementing concurrency in design (12:27)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The roadblocks to implementing concurrency (22:50)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/03\/Chris_173.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Young\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Chris Young<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Owner\/Lead Engineer at Young Engineering Services LLC<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/christopher-young-69b66320\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Chris on LinkedIn <\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2022\/11\/steph_chavez300-small.jpg\" alt=\"Steph Chavez\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Steph Chavez<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Senior Product Marketing Manager, Siemens<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stephen-v-chavez-59985012\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Steph on LinkedIn <\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want more PCB design best practices?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn PCB design best practices from an industry expert with over 30 years of experience, broken down into five pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\" start=\"1\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eda.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/pcb\/digitally-integrated-and-optimized\/library-design-data-management\/?ref=EBS_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digitally integrated and optimized<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eda.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/pcb\/engineering-productivity-and-efficiency\/advanced-design\/?ref=EBS_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engineering productivity and efficiency<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eda.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/pcb\/digital-prototype-driven-verification\/?ref=EBS_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital prototype-driven verification<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eda.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/pcb\/model-based-systems-engineering\/?ref=EBS_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">System-level model-based engineering<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eda.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/pcb\/supply-chain-resilience\/?ref=EBS_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supply chain resilience<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your PCB design process to the next level today by checking out this content!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest challenges in PCB board design is inefficiencies caused by limited collaboration.
