Well, I think that needs to be qualified up front in the design cycle, so the correct types of components and materials are selected to meet the specified requirements.
That's not really what I'm driving at in my question though. What I'm looking for relates more to how far do we as designers ACTIVELY go in tracking the status of a board once it's assembled and handed over to EE's or manufacturing. Is it our responsibility to know if the board is performing as it should? Are we directly responsible to find out that information?

Hi Steve,
You might not want to hear this, but, besides function, the design shall also ensure long term reliability. And since the long term reliability goes all the way until the end of the life cycle of the product, the designer should be liable a long time after the design is completed and successfully tested for functionality.
I suggest IPC-D-279 as a good reading.

Hello:
Just want to get an opinion on a certain matter. Where does a designers responsibility end? After successful assembly, after successful functional tests by EE's? System test? By responsibility, I mean tracking wise. Should we be chasing after EE's to make sure everything tested out okay, while were busy designing another board? How far do we chase? How far do they (MGMT) expect YOU to chase?
Thank You,
