Engineering Insights: From Burger to Breakthrough with Jon Quigley -Skyman and the Bug.

Описание: In this episode of Skyman and the Bug, hosts Nike Roach (the Bug) and Josh Schminsky (the Skyman) sit down with Jon M. Quigley—project management pro, mechanical engineer, and author of 25 manufacturing-focused books—to talk about the real intersection of hardware, software, product delivery, and cybersecurity.
Jon shares stories from the field and the factory floor: embedded control systems, industrial process controls, “skunk works” innovation, and work with major OEMs like PACCAR and Volvo. We also dig into why modern vehicles must be treated like IT systems—and what that means as trucks and cars become more connected (and more vulnerable).

Key takeaways

Why manufacturing leaders need tighter alignment between hardware + software teams
What “product pipeline thinking” looks like from customer need → delivery
How vehicle connectivity is changing the cybersecurity risk landscape
Why heavy vehicles (Class 8) face unique challenges as systems modernize
Real examples of embedded systems work (ABS, multiplexing, monitoring systems)
