PRESENTED BY: Sierra Circuits

ITAR compliance is non-negotiable for defense and satellite programs but it often feels like compliance slows everything down. In this talk, Amit Bahl of Sierra Circuits will break down practical best practices for designing and building ITAR-compliant PCBs without unnecessary delays or budget overruns. You’ll learn how to prepare your design files correctly, communicate requirements clearly with your fabricator, and avoid common mistakes that lead to rework or hold-ups during audits. We’ll also cover how in-house, ITAR-certified manufacturing can reduce risk while keeping your timeline intact.
