WORLD-CLASS ELECTROMECHANICAL ENGINEERING

From concept to field performance

I focus on the physical electromechanical hardware design and material/technology choices that determine whether an electronic product is designed for manufacturing and reliable performance in the field. The work spans professional sparring regarding concept selection, DfX, component packaging and interconnections, production yield, durability, and total lifetime cost. Assignments range from early concepting and design reviews to production and field reliability problem solving.

More than four decades in electronic product development

Independent practice since 2010

Based in Denmark, working internationally

Areas of work

Design, production, and reliability

Physical design

Professional sparring regarding concept selection, miniaturisation, modularisation, materials, component packaging, interconnections, substrates, and manufacturing technology.

Production and DfX

Reviews for manufacturing, assembly, test, quality, reliability, and supply-chain constraints. The focus is production yield and total lifetime cost, not BOM-cost alone. EMS technical capability assessments

Reliability and failure analysis

Professional sparring regarding design for harsh environment: Vibration, shock, condensation, liquid ingress, and corrosion. coating, underfill, interconnect reliability, product validation, and field-failure investigations.

Experience

Experience across the product life cycle.

My work has covered research, development, production, reliability, failure analysis, technology engineering, product validation and technology management. Product experience includes automated mobile-phone production, industrial electronics, hearing aids, and high-reliability space electronics.
