As one of the “skilled electronics engineers” in the US you could count on US soil (whatever that means) I can tell you this article reads very strangely to a EE.
“we were able to take all those designs and spin up our own SMT, it's called Surface Mount Technology”
“run that through our surface mount technology by our line operators”
“meaning the printed circuit board or PCBA assembly”
So, he’s definitely not an EE. No EE talks like this when they are trying to explain the nuts and bolts to a lay person. Either that or the editor took liberties they shouldn’t have.
