Hurry up PCB, open a new era of high-speed PCB design 2.0
The horn of China’s comprehensive economic reform has been sounded. When almost all industries are facing active or passive reshuffles, the market competition and fighting are extremely fierce.
How to return to low capital, take a new model of sustainable development, and accurately capture user groups with low prices and superior experience has become a top priority for leading companies in various industries, and the high-speed PCB (printed circuit board) design industry is also the same.
High-speed PCB design, this electronic design field that has never entered the public’s vision in a high-profile manner, has been quietly interpreting its own legend in the past half century, from the earliest electronic product-the birth of the first military radio, to the replacement of contemporary smart phones and wearable electronic products, subverting every detail of military industry, communications, technology, medical care, transportation and social life… Today, under the reshuffle of the industry and the strong penetration of the Internet, high-speed PCB design has quietly fissioned and entered the 2.0 era.
+The deep integration of the Internet is the standard of the times
Indeed, the arrogant performance of BAT and the “wind outlet flying pig theory” regarded as an oracle gave the Internet a heavy mythical color, which seemed to touch the G-spot of Internet people for a while, and the whole industry was climaxing. Therefore, whenever talking about development, one must mention the “wind outlet”. With the blessing of the “wind outlet”, one’s self-confidence will immediately explode.
However, the author believes that the “wind outlet theory” regarded as an oracle by the entire industry is a speculative idea that has been misinterpreted and exaggerated. Even Lei Dada himself may not recognize that this is what he once said. Opportunities are important, but have you ever thought that even if a “pig” really flies, this story is touching and inspiring, but how long can it fly? What is the significance of this matter?
Having said so much, in fact, the author’s central idea is: users do not need a flashy product, just like the world does not need a flying pig. Instead of being self-deprecating and willing to be an ignorant “pig”, leaving all fate to the “wind outlet”, it is better for Internet companies to be strong and temper themselves to be an “eagle”. You can fly, and the arrival of the “wind outlet” is just to make you fly higher and farther.
This is also the meaning of the existence of Kuaidian PCB (www.eqpcb.com).
In the 2.0 era, the learning threshold of PCB design and the technical barriers of the Internet have gradually weakened, followed by more stringent knowledge barriers and certification thresholds, which makes the high-speed PCB design platform have a unique access barrier, which can block a large number of eager people outside the “gate”.
As China’s first high-speed PCB design test certification/career planning platform, and also China’s first PCB design crowdsourcing service trading platform, Kuaidian PCB is the product of the deep integration of high-speed PCB design + Internet. Based on the design accumulation of more than ten years of the enterprise (Shenzhen Maiwei Technology Co., Ltd.), it has obtained the only high-speed PCB special professional ability certification qualification in the country.
The website brings together tens of thousands of analysis inventory resources of actual cases, thousands of large-scale project design specifications and rules, and more than a hundred senior front-line engineers to answer questions online. Most importantly, there are more than a hundred inventions, design patents and software works in the industry as support… There are also industry standards and specifications that have been explored and built by fighting side by side with world-class companies (Huawei, HiSilicon, etc.). These accumulations are enough to abandon the impetuous atmosphere of the Internet.
Focusing on professional talent training is the call of the times
This year, the global PCB annual output value will reach 72 billion US dollars, and my country’s market share has occupied half of the country. However, what does not match the output value is the scarcity of high-speed PCB design talents: According to data jointly released by the China PCB Design Industry Association and China Talent Online, in recent years, the gap in my country’s PCB design talent market has exceeded 300,000. The rapid development of high-tech industries is fettered by design talents.
This is a serious problem facing the entire industry, especially in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing regions where industrial development is booming. The mobility and instability of talents have caused many small enterprises to The situation of “one person is hard to find” in the industry…
In fact, this is related to the attributes of high-speed PCB design: high-speed PCB design is mainly for social experience accumulation, which is a proprietary skill that grows and develops in social practice. Therefore, colleges and universities have not yet cultivated corresponding talents, and the situation of lack of successors has existed for several years. At present, most companies with design capabilities and qualifications start from internal training, and the trained personnel are for internal use, but the cost is very high and the mobility is large. On the other hand, due to the lack of industry standards and special professional ability appraisals, the road to high-speed PCB design talent training seems extremely difficult in the exploration.
It will not be overnight to break the bottleneck of design talents.
“Kuaidian PCB” relies on the social support and technical strength of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China Vocational Association, Guangdong Vocational Association, Shenzhen Vocational Association, EDA software manufacturers, Huawei, HiSilicon, Maiwei Technology, etc., actively responds to the needs of the times, and assumes the social responsibility of cultivating professional talents. It took four years to launch an O2O vocational education platform for high-speed PCB design, including high-quality courses, examination certification, expert consultation, resource sharing, famous enterprise practice, career planning, etc., committed to breaking the information barriers of asymmetric supply and demand of talents, realizing the seamless connection between enterprise needs and high-tech employment, completing professional Witkey crowdsourcing services, and making it possible for enterprises to publish needs with one click and engineers to freely undertake projects in professional fields. Strive to be a respectable collaborator in the professional and in-depth industrial chain. This approach and attitude is indeed worth looking forward to.
Embarking on full industrial chain services is the resonance of the times
If the talent gap in the high-speed PCB design market is as high as 300,000+, then the talent gap in the industrial chain can really be described as countless. In the current high-speed PCB design circle, at least 50% of the middle and senior engineers only know how to implement the design but don’t know much about the precautions of the front-end schematic diagram and the back-end factory processing. This is mainly determined by the characteristics of the profession, because in social practice and application, the division of labor is more detailed, the profession is more refined, and there is a lack of colleges or complete front-end and back-end learning and training. To a certain extent, it is also related to the characteristics of enterprises to reduce training costs and quickly “take it”.
Even if a large amount of training funds are invested, there are only a handful of companies that are capable of starting the entire industry chain and are well versed in the front and back ends. There are even fewer companies with the size and qualifications of large customers such as Huawei, HiSilicon, Sugon, and Fenghuo. The only one who is committed to the transmission and innovation of technology, who has been deeply engaged in professional and talent cultivation, and who dares to assume social responsibility is the efforts of the fast PCB. Starting from the subtleties of the training and cultivation of high-speed PCB design talents, we strive to coordinate the information flow, capital flow, physical flow, and logistics of the entire industry chain. This road to “precision” and “specialization” is deep and long, but the brave are fearless, not to mention an excellent high-speed PCB Layout engineers are better than hardware design engineers. I think this is a great cause that goes hand in hand with the development of high-tech in the era of “mass innovation and mass entrepreneurship” –
Hurry up PCB, there is a long way to go.
