Show HN: The Hardware OS – a free field manual for hardware engineering leads
The Hardware OS is a free field manual for hardware engineering leads, covering processes, tools, and best practices for managing hardware development from concept to production.
Background
- The Hardware OS is a free, open-source reference guide aimed at engineering managers and technical leads who oversee hardware product development (electronics, mechanical design, firmware, etc.). It covers processes, timelines, team structures, and common pitfalls — analogous to "The Phoenix Project" or "The DevOps Handbook" but for physical products rather than software.
