IPC COMMUNITY 88 WINTER 2025 Based in Munich at IPC Electronics Europe GmbH, Peter is the technical resource for regional activities in Europe, and serves as the lead for IPC's Design Initiative. His expertise spans academic semicon- ductor manufacturing and characterization and design, development, standardization, and man- ufacturing of numerous industrial system assem- bly technologies. Besides leading IPC's Design Initia- tive, he supports the IPC Europe team, especially on advocacy activities, with technical expertise in industry coalitions and representing industry with the European Commission. Peter works to increase the visibility and relevance of IPC's design offerings with a focus on integrating IPC design standards content into CAD and CAM software throughout the product development cycle by: • Building up the design community through the DLC and the IPC-internal design team (GIDT) and providing thought leadership with white papers on next-gen design needs as well as design pro- cess flow and the link to IPC design standards. IPC design offerings were presented at 12 con- ferences, trade shows, workshops, and webinars worldwide in 2024. • Ensuring IPC design standards are current and relevant for the global industry by revisioning existing and developing new standards with our industry in line with IPC's silicon-to-systems strategy and advancing DFX in collaboration with IPC's global units and initiatives, including advanced packaging, workforce, sustainability, Factory of the Future, and eMobility. • Building IPC DFM profiles from IPC design stan- dards applicable to CAD and CAM software and tools. This was first achieved with PCBflow, an online platform where all major ECAD output formats can be uploaded and designs validated against IPC reliability classes and manufactur- ability levels. DFM profiles are accessible in the Siemens ECAD and DFM software landscape, and we are working with the industry to estab- lish review options along the product develop- ment and NPI process.
