Electronic Specifier Design: inside the latest issue
Every month, Electronic Specifier rounds up the highlights of its newly released digital magazine, giving readers a quick guided tour before they dive into the full issue. Each instalment walks through what’s inside, including the lead editorial take on a major industry topic, regular columns such as STEM Spotlight, Women in Tech and Obsolescence, plus that month’s core technical features spanning power electronics, semiconductors, IoT, AI, and test and measurement. It is designed to help busy engineers and industry professionals quickly gauge what is worth their time, with a link to the full digital edition for anyone who wants to read on.
Engineering reality checks
Lou Farrell’s contributions to Electronic Specifier form a recurring analysis series that surfaces overlooked or underappreciated engineering problems across the electronics manufacturing landscape, with titles that signal a “here’s what nobody’s talking about” angle — the hidden costs of chip-manufacturing positioning errors, an unspoken accuracy crisis in ultra-miniaturised wearables, the understated importance of electrical safety in consumer electronics, and the engineering adaptations needed for next-gen devices, plus many more.
Engineering explainers
Zac Amos’s contributions to Electronic Specifier form a recurring problem-and-solution series that walks design engineers through the practical challenges of building secure, efficient, next-generation hardware — spanning cybersecurity (radio comms hardening, side-channel attacks, data-in-transit, embedded Linux flaws, Edge AI vulnerabilities), AI and compute (processor selection, medical imaging), and sustainability/infrastructure (data centre water consumption, smart grid stream processing, wearable battery life, industrial IoT connectivity).
Engineering interviews
Diego de Azcuénaga’s ‘Engineering interviews’ series for Electronic Specifier pairs technical explainer journalism with direct input from the engineers and executives behind each innovation, translating complex subject matter into accessible articles. The series spans a broad swath of the electronics industry — power, automotive, test & measurement, wireless, and AI — giving Electronic Specifier’s readership a recurring, source-driven lens into how new components and architectures get built and why they matter.
International Women in Engineering Day
To mark International Women in Engineering Day, Electronic Specifier presents a dedicated series spotlighting the women driving innovation across the electronics industry – from semiconductor design and power electronics to IoT and embedded systems. Through interviews, profiles, and first-person perspectives, the series explores the varied career paths, technical achievements, and everyday challenges of engineers and industry leaders working at the cutting edge of technology, while examining what still needs to change to build a more inclusive engineering workforce.
