PEACHTREE CITY, GA – The Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) today named Andy Shaughnessy its first content architect.

Shaughnessy, a veteran industry journalist and media personality, will be responsible for creating and overseeing PCEA’s technical publications and media communications, including podcasts and video.

Shaughnessy has been a writer, editor, and journalist for 30 years. He has been covering PCB design and the EDA market since 1999, serving as associate editor and editor-in-chief of PCD&F Magazine from 1999-2007, prior to its acquisition by PCEA.

From 2007-2025, he was editor of I-Connect007's Design007 Magazine and the Design Newsletter, as well as an on-camera interviewer for the Real Time video program.

“Once we realized Andy was available, a reunion was obvious,” said Mike Buetow, president, PCEA. “Our vice president of sales and marketing, Frances Stewart, and I worked with Andy years ago and have always been impressed with his passion, knowledge, and ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and responsibilities. We are thrilled to have him as a colleague again.”

"I'm excited to be back working with Mike and Frances,” Shaughnessy said. “Although some of the staff are different, I know everyone in the company. How often do you get to start a new job at a company where you've known everyone for decades?”
