In this episode, Chris and Melissa return after a long break with a recap of Chris’s trip to APEX. They discuss customer visits, EMS management meetings, the value of trade shows, and why x-ray inspection is becoming such a big topic in PCB assembly.

Chris and Melissa welcome Pete Staples, CEO & co-founder of Blue Clover Devices, for a deep dive into how to plan tests, capture evidence, and debug those mysterious boards that look perfect but don’t work.

After a long break (and a few listener wellness checks!), Chris and Melissa return to catch up on what’s kept them busy and share some updates from around the industry. Then, they dive into this episode’s big topic: who’s responsible for the inevitable fallout when it comes to quick-turn PCB assembly?

We're excited to introduce workspaces, a new way to collaborate and stay organized across CircuitHub. Workspaces replace the previous organizations system and make it easier to manage and share assets with colleagues, consultants, and 3rd party contractors.

At CircuitHub, our goal is to maintain a transparent and customer-focused approach to handling tariffs during this period of unprecedented trade policy volatility. Our policy is designed to ensure clarity and fairness in our pricing structure while maintaining the quality of service our customers expect.
