Listen "IPC Apex Series, Day 1, Interview 1 - Chrys Shea"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to The D Code: IPC APEX 2025 Edition! We kicked things off live from the show floor with none other than Chrys Shea and it was everything we hoped for. From miniaturization trends to workforce development, and from solder paste testing to balancing fun and technical mastery in the shop, Chrys brought insight and laughs. Here's a taste of what we covered: Why she believes we're bringing the fun back to circuit board manufacturing The talent gap in process engineering and what she's doing to fix it. Her framework for guiding new engineers based on mindset and personality (hands-on vs. keyboard, rule-follower vs. rule-breaker). A sneak peek at the Ultra HDI test board for the SMTA designed to challenge even the most seasoned process engineers Oh, and if you're into quizzes that match your personality to your perfect PCB process role... she's got that too. Thanks again to Chrys for not just showing up but providing the sweet shades at our booth. You're one of a kind!
