Live Theater Session: Why Hardware Fails: Lessons from Shipping 13+ Sensor Products

Session details:

Bringing a sensor-based product from prototype to production is where even the best teams stumble. In this candid fireside chat, hardware leader Kunal Kishore Bajaj draws on experience shipping more than a dozen consumer and enterprise systems to unpack why hardware fails—and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.

From early architecture decisions and sensor selection to validation, yield, and post-launch failures, this session will explore the hidden challenges that derail timelines, inflate costs, and impact product quality. Attendees will gain practical insights into bridging the gap between “it works” and “it scales,” designing for manufacturability and reliability, and building teams and processes that consistently deliver.

Whether you’re developing next-gen sensing systems or scaling existing products, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to ship successful hardware.
