Synopsis

Electronic Product Development is a specialist field. It requires not only a good understanding of the technology - it demands a thorough knowledge of the whole process of taking an electronic design through the various stages and make it available for sale. This practical guide is easy to read and is full of examples of actual products that have made it to market and generated profits from sales. It covers various aspects of product development, such as the choice of the enclosure, component tolerances and manufacturing costs. This book will help designers turn a working prototype into a commercial product. It will help them take into account regulatory requirements such as emissions and safety, make sure that the product is documented accurately for production and be confident that it can be easily supported in the field. This book is designed equally for new graduate engineers and students, as well as those engineers who are looking to develop a product for the first time.

About this title

About the Author

I have worked in the electronic manufacturing sector for 32 years. In the first 5 years I worked as a design engineer, using the then newly available 4-bit microcontrollers. I was also one of the first proud owners of an Acorn home computer. The following 4 years were spent gaining experience of managing teams as well as engaging with other departments like sales and marketing and getting a wider understanding of how an organisation really ticks. The next 24 years have been very spent starting and growing my own business. This has given me a wide range of experiences. I am a Princes Trust mentor and have helped numerous businesses over the last 8 years. I have 3 books published and available on Amazon. The latest one is titled "The Battle to get traffic to your website" and is aimed as an SEO primer for small business owners. Sales from my previous book "Starting and Running a PAT Testing business" has already generated £500 for the Princes Trust. I really enjoy writing and plan to produce many more books over the coming years.
