Ensuring Quality and Precision in Electrical Design with Design Rule Checks

As electrical systems grow more complex and regulatory requirements continue to tighten, traditional peer reviews alone are no longer sufficient to ensure design quality and compliance. In this webinar, we’ll explore how Design Rule Checks (DRCs) provide an automated, scalable approach to catching errors early in the electrical design process—before they become costly manufacturing or field failures. We’ll break down what DRCs are, the most common rule categories, and how they apply across schematics, harness design, and system-level verification.

This session will discuss how DRCs reduce rework, accelerate design cycles, and improve safety and reliability. We’ll also dive into best practices for integrating DRCs into day-to-day engineering workflows and aligning them with manufacturing and regulatory requirements. This session is ideal for electrical engineers, engineering managers, and quality leaders looking to improve first-pass success and reduce downstream risk.

Key Takeaways:

• Why manual reviews fall short as electrical complexity, component variation, and compliance demands increase

• How Design Rule Checks catch errors early, reducing rework, prototype cycles, and late-stage failures

• Which DRC categories matter most for safety, manufacturability, signal integrity, and regulatory compliance

• Best practices for embedding DRCs into engineering workflows to enable continuous verification and audit-ready traceability
