Best Practices for Writing Safety-Critical Requirements
July 24, 2025
In safety-critical domains such as aerospace, defense, and military systems, the quality of your requirements can make or break mission success. Poorly written or ambiguous requirements are a leading cause of system failures, delays, and non-compliance with regulatory standards like DO-178C, ARP4754A, and MIL-STD-882. In this article, I draw on two decades of experience helping engineering teams improve their Requirements Engineering processes to share best practices for writing clear, verifiable, and traceable safety-critical requirements. Whether you're working on autonomous platforms, mission systems, or advanced avionics, these principles will help you reduce risk and drive better outcomes.

Reimagining Edge AI: Why Efficiency, Not Just Performance, Will Define the Next Generation of Processors
June 30, 2025
For decades, performance has been the holy grail of processor innovation. More gigahertz, more FLOPs, more cores, the race has largely revolved around speed and brute-force capabilities. But in today’s AI-driven world, especially at the edge, that narrative is shifting dramatically. We're entering an era where efficiency, not just performance, will determine the future of processing architectures.

What Big Data Can Reveal About Your Equipment: The Case of an Electric Motor
June 26, 2025
Few understand the phrase “time is money” better than industrial companies, especially when both time and money are wasted during unexpected equipment downtime. For automakers, just one hour of unplanned downtime caused by sudden equipment failure can cost up to $2.3 million. In fact, equipment failure accounts for 80% of all unplanned production halts.
