PCB design that survives the fab house, the assembler and the field.
Schematic capture, layout, and a manufacturing package a fab can run without emailing you questions. Power, signal integrity, thermals and EMC get attention while the parts are still moveable — which is the only time it is cheap. This is our specialization, and if the board also needs firmware, an enclosure or an app, the same team builds those.
Free meeting · Free consultation · Free demo — for every project, every client.
You pay only when you say 'build it'. NDA-first if you want it — your idea stays yours.
The sentences we hear most.
Written the way clients say them on the first call, not the way a brochure would.
“Our boards came back and half the parts were rotated.”
“It works, but only on three of the ten units.”
“The fab keeps sending DFM queries we do not know how to answer.”
“We failed EMC and have no idea which trace is doing it.”
“The engineer who laid this out is gone and the files open in nothing we own.”
“Our main IC is end-of-life and the board needs redesigning around its replacement.”
What actually lands in your hands.
Listed before the work starts, so finished is never a matter of opinion.
- Schematic as PDF and editable source, every net named and every non-obvious decision annotated.
- Layout source plus the full manufacturing package: gerbers, drill files, IPC-356 netlist.
- BOM with manufacturer part numbers, distributor links and approved second sources.
- Pick-and-place centroid file and assembly drawings the assembler can work from.
- DFM review against your chosen fab's stated capabilities, before files are sent.
- Stack-up definition with impedance targets, agreed with the fab rather than assumed.
- 3D STEP export so the mechanical side can check fit before boards exist.
- Bring-up notes plus a design review record: power-up sequence, test points, and what changed and why.
Everything above is yours: code, files and accounts are assigned to you and delivered in your repository. You could replace us tomorrow and still ship.
How we build it.
Five steps. The first three cost nothing, and the third is the one that decides everything.
Meet
FREEA 20-minute call. You describe the problem; we ask the questions that matter.
Consult
FREEFeasibility, approach, and an honest effort estimate — from an engineer, not a sales rep.
Demo
FREEWe build a working demo of your idea, so you see how we work before you commit.
What the free demo looks like hereSend the idea or the existing board and you get either a first-pass schematic block of the tricky part — power, radio, sensor front end — or a marked-up review of your current schematic listing exactly what we would change and why.
Build
You liked the demo. We scope it, quote it, and build it.
Ship & support
Deployment, handover, and support after launch.
You pay only when you say 'build it'.
What the work is done in.

Work in this service.
Your project could be the flagship here — and it starts free.
We publish a case study only once the client has approved what it says and the numbers in it are ours to show. For PCB Design that shelf is still empty — and we would rather show you nothing than show you somebody else's screenshot. The free demo is how the first one gets written.
Questions that decide whether a project starts.
Cost, timeline, ownership, what happens after delivery — and exactly what the free demo includes for this service.
