Method to manufacture potted electronic assemblies for extreme mechanical and thermal environments

A method for manufacturing potted electronic assemblies are described. Embodiments of the method and system may provide a potting compound having a first coefficient of thermal expansion different from a second coefficient of thermal expansion for a circuit board, provide a fiber reinforcement having a third coefficient of thermal expansion selected so that when the potting compound is combined with the fiber reinforcement the combined coefficient of thermal expansion is closer to the second coefficient of thermal expansion than the first coefficient of thermal expansion is to the second coefficient of thermal expansion, and apply the fiber reinforcement and the potting compound to the circuit board.
