PCB design and layout
Layouts for 2 to 8 layer boards, checked for signal quality, heat and manufacturability.
Hardware design and prototyping for embedded products
Good hardware starts long before the PCB: with the right microcontroller, a power design that survives the real supply, and interfaces that tolerate the field.
We design microcontroller-based boards, controller boards for machines and industrial equipment, sensor interfaces and power supplies, then build prototypes to prove them.
The work
What's included
Component selection
Parts chosen for availability, lifecycle and cost, with second sources wherever possible so a shortage does not stop your production.
Schematic design
Clear, reviewed schematics with design notes, so another engineer can understand every decision.
Power design
Regulators, protection, battery and charging circuits, sized for the real load and the real supply.
Interfaces
Sensors, relays, motors, displays, RS-485, CAN, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular modules.
Rapid prototyping
Prototype boards fabricated and assembled, brought up and debugged in our lab.
Design reviews
A review of your existing hardware design before you spend on fabrication.

Before you ask
Common questions
Which microcontrollers do you work with?
We choose the controller for your product rather than forcing one family. Common choices are STM32, ESP32, Nordic nRF, NXP, Microchip PIC and AVR, and Renesas parts.
Can you redesign a board because a part is obsolete?
Yes. We replace obsolete or hard-to-source parts and re-verify the board. See also our reverse engineering service if no design files exist.
How long does a quotation take?
We reply within 2–3 working days of your request. The quotation lists the scope, milestones, estimated hours per role and material costs.
