Victory Giant's
Executive Vice
President and
CTO George
Dudnikov let
me in on the
growth happen-
ing within his
company, which
includes a much larger Industry 4.0
facility and the capability to do pulse
plating up to a 25:1 aspect ratio.
In this interview with
I-Connect007's own Happy
Holden about his newest
book, 24 Essential Skills for
Engineers, which he wrote
over the span of his career,
he highlights some particular
moments from his time
working at HP and as CTO
of Foxconn which inspired
many of the book's chapters. Happy explains
why he covered engineering skills as well as
"soft skills" such as problem-solving and communi-
cation—skills which are keys to succeeding as
an engineer.
In the early 1970s, I was a program coordinator for Maine Electronics, a
division of Rockwell International. As I got to know more about the job,
the product, and the company, I fell in love with the work. Rockwell was
building important products, from the Minuteman missile to the F-111
fighter, the Viking; later, we were a prime for the Space Shuttle.

your flex fabricator early and often. Here are a couple key reasons
why involving your flex and rigid-flex supplier early in the design of
your product will help you save time and money—and produce a
more reliable flex circuit.
