HARDWARE
PCB Design & Development.
Turn a working idea into a board that can be built again and again.
A prototype that works on the bench is only the start. Getting to a board that is reliable, fits the enclosure, can be assembled at a sensible cost and passes testing takes careful design decisions at every step.
We design the circuit and the layout, build prototypes, test them against what the product needs to do and hand over clean manufacturing files. Where the board runs firmware, we can write that too.
Talk to us about your project
What changes
What your business can expect once the right system is in place.
Fewer board revisions
Design reviews and prototype testing catch problems before they reach a production run.
Ready for manufacture
Gerbers, bill of materials and assembly drawings your manufacturer can quote and build from.
Hardware and software together
The same team designs the board and the firmware on it, so the two fit from the start.
What we build
Every system is shaped around how your team already works. These are the parts we most often bring together.
-
Schematic design
Component selection and circuit design for power, sensing, communication and control.
-
PCB layout
Single and multi-layer layouts that fit your enclosure and keep signals clean.
-
Prototyping
Small prototype runs, bring-up and debugging so the design is proven on real hardware.
-
Testing
Functional testing against your requirements, with fixes folded back into the design.
-
Manufacturing files
Gerbers, bill of materials and assembly documentation prepared for your chosen manufacturer.
-
Firmware
Microcontroller code for the board, from drivers for its sensors to how it talks to other systems.
How we work
A clear path from the first conversation to launch, and the improvements that follow.
-
Define requirements
We agree what the board must do, the size and power limits and the quantities you expect to build.
-
Design the circuit
We draw up the schematic and layout, and review them with you before anything is ordered.
-
Prototype and test
We build prototypes, bring them up and test them, then revise the design where needed.
-
Hand over for production
We prepare manufacturing files and support you through the first production run.
Common questions
Something we have not covered? Ask us directly.
Can you improve a board we already have?
Yes. We can review an existing design, fix known problems, replace parts that are hard to source or reduce the cost of the board.
Do you manufacture the boards?
We prepare the files and can help you work with a manufacturer for prototype and production runs.
