Essential skills for software engineers working with hardware: reading specs and BOMs

Technical specifications, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and design documentation are critical documents for any hardware-related product development. These documents define what a product must do, list all required parts, and explain how the product is constructed. Software engineers working close to hardware must understand how to read these documents to prevent costly manufacturing and testing errors. The article explains how to interpret technical specifications, understand BOM structure, and identify common documentation errors. Mastering these skills helps engineers catch design conflicts and verification gaps early in the development process.

Internal certificate outages caused by lifecycle management failures, not cryptography

Most outages from expired internal certificates stem from management failures, not cryptographic issues. Internal Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) operates outside public certificate validity rules, allowing organizations to set their own policies. This flexibility often leads to inadequate inventories, unclear ownership, and missed renewals. Short certificate lifetimes without automation increase outage risks. Experts recommend creating inventories, assigning owners, monitoring expirations, and automating renewals.
