"The biggest thing I got out of [Rocket EMS] was how important DFM is and also watching the manufacturing line. My office door opened up onto the manufacturing line.
Watching the manufacturing line and watching the talent on the line make things happen really taught me a lot about design and engineering.
I could walk around and talk to everybody and watch what the line workers were doing. Something I recommend for everybody to do. I learned more about design from watching how they overcome our mistakes in the design process to make it look right, and they did it again and again and again.
Learning the DFM process, truly learning it."
