Capability — Electronic & PCB Design

From schematic to a board that ships.

Schematic capture, PCB layout, and design-for-manufacture review for teams building physical products — with the documentation a contract manufacturer won't send back.

Typical engagement
4–10 weeks per revision
Delivered as
Schematic + layout files, Gerbers, BOM
Tools
KiCad, Altium

Process

Five steps, in order.

We don't route a single trace until the requirements are written down.

01

Requirements

Electrical requirements, environmental constraints, power budget, and any compliance targets — RoHS, CE, FCC — defined before a single trace is drawn.

02

Schematic capture

Component selection with real lead times and sourcing in mind. Power and signal integrity reviewed before layout starts, not after boards come back wrong.

03

Layout

Stackup design, routing, and a formal design-for-manufacture and design-for-test pass — the review that catches what a fab house won't warn you about.

04

Prototype & bring-up

Bench testing against the original requirements — not just "it powers on," but a check against every spec we wrote down in step one.

05

Production handoff

Gerbers, BOM with sourcing notes, assembly drawings, and a test procedure your contract manufacturer can actually follow.

Standards

What we hold the board to.

Real standards, not a note in a Slack thread after the boards arrive wrong.

IPC-2221

Generic standard for PCB design — trace width, spacing, and thermal management sized to the current and voltage they actually carry.

IPC-A-610

Acceptability criteria for electronic assemblies, used as the bar for what passes inspection before it ships.

IPC-7351

Land pattern standards for component footprints, so parts fit the way the datasheet claims they will.

ANSI/ESD S20.20

ESD control practices followed during handling and bring-up, not just posted on a wall.

RoHS / REACH

Component sourcing checked against restricted-substance compliance wherever the target market requires it.

DFM / DFT review

A formal design-for-manufacture and design-for-test pass before release — a documented review, not a verbal sign-off.

Deliverables

What you're left with.

Schematic + PCB layout source files
Bill of materials with sourcing notes and lead times
Gerbers, drill files, and assembly drawings
DFM/DFT review report
Bring-up test report against original requirements
Revision history, so the next engineer knows why

Have a board that's fighting you?

Send the Gerbers and the symptom, and we'll tell you what's actually wrong before you spin another revision.
