* How can I prototype different parts of my circuit on a breadboard with breakout boards to verify it works as intended?
* What code will run on this board, and how can software development done in parallel to PCB layout?
Because SSI is a large team with many projects and members, You should also consider the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensibility| Extensibility] of your design:
* How can your design leverage existing PCB schematics to speed up the design process?
* How can you use the flight heritage of existing circuits to reduce the chance of your system not working?
* Has any past project developed modularity that you can build upon?
* Can you add modularity to your design that future projects can build upon?
* Can your design be made more flexible or configurable for future missions?
The answers to some of these questions might be "no", but you should try to think about them.
