Hardware & Electronics Design
What We Offer
We offer a range of Hardware & Electronics Design services, including managing fabrication, logistics and testing.
Hardware design can be done using KiCad and Altium Designer, depending on customer preference. We contract both with domestic EU-based fabrication houses and JLCPCB, and can offer a design that matches what your fabricator expects.
We have design up to 12 layer mixed signal PCBs and flex PCBs, but most of our designs are 4-layer single sided PCBs optimized for cost.
-
For your entire product, from PCB design to fabrication, we can help develop your electronics system. See our projects page for examples.
-
When you have a design, but do not have the bandwidth or expertise to organize a production run of your project, we can help by taking on the burden of communicating with the fabrication house, ordering components, and making sure everything is tested and working before the order is delivered to your facility.
-
Are you having issues with your product, but are not sure why? We perform independent analysis of your Returned Materials to determine the underlying cause of your quality issues, whether it is a design issue, user fault or a fabrication issue.
-
A fresh pair of eyes can work wonders in spotting any PCB schematic or board design mistakes. We can catch design errors before you send the prototypes off to be fabricated, preventing time and cost overruns.
-
We have all the gear required to perform a quickscan of your product to determine if there are any EM compatibility issues, before an expensive testing house fails your product.
Note: pre-compliance only, we can not provide required documentation needed for certain certifications.
-
If you have any performance issues with your antennae we can verify their performance using in-house S11 reflection impedance measurements.
For our own designs we are able to design, place and verify antenna’s up to 3GHz.
-
Development of the product is only half of the effort required to actually have a commercial quantity of your design ready to ship to your customers. We can develop a robust testing harness to be used in the factory or assembly stage, to ensure that no faulty products are sent out.
We will design a testing jig with the appropriate pogo pins and develop the necessary software to ensure that your hardware is functioning.
