We've discussed the silver tsunami on the show numerous times, the unprecedented rate of which employees are retiring. When engineers and other employees retire from companies, they take with them more than a set of gold cufflinks or an engraved plaque. In many cases, they also take with them wisdom and knowledge.
Perhaps this is never more true than in the case of my guest today. And who is that? My friend and colleague Doug Pauls.
Doug is a long-time (and when I say long time I mean well over 30 years) IPC chairman and was awarded the IPC's Hall of Fame Award in 2017. Most notably, he is known for his expertise in surface insulation resistance testing, cleaning and cleanliness assessment, conformal coatings, and how to investigate and qualify manufacturing processes. He has been a U.S. representative to ISO and IEC working groups on SIR, electromigration, and cleanliness reliability standards. He has participated in numerous national and international consortia on electronics manufacturing materials and processes. He recently led a team of SMEs to redefine the cleanliness provisions of J-STD-001, culminating in what is presently J-STD-001H.
To take liberties with a famous Mark Twain quote rumors of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated . For several years now, I've heard rumors of Doug Pauls retirement. Well, that day has finally come.
I'll talk with Doug about his Long career within the electronic assembly industry. We'll talk about his triumphs and challenges, and his journey in this ever changing, dynamic, and challenging industry.
