Hardware that respects the firmware on top of it
A lot of PCB design houses hand you a board that meets electrical spec but fights the firmware. Misplaced test points, no measurement-friendly current shunts, no SWD header on the production-intent layout, antennas that pass on the bench but fail in the enclosure. We design boards as engineers who also write the firmware on them, which means the layout choices anticipate what bring-up, debug, and OTA actually need.
What we deliver
Schematic capture
Annotated schematics with net classes, voltage rails, and decoupling philosophy documented next to the parts. Reviewable by your engineering team, not just by your CM.
Multilayer layout
2- through 12-layer boards. Controlled impedance, careful stackup planning, and ground/power-plane geometry tuned for switching noise.
Rigid-flex for wearables
Multi-stack rigid-flex with engineered fold paths and bend radii. Designed jointly with the mechanical team — never an afterthought.
RF & antenna tuning
BLE / Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz antennas, matching network design, ground plane geometry, and pre-compliance EMC review before you commit to enclosure tooling.
Power integrity
Switching regulator selection, plane analysis, and decoupling for noisy mixed-signal designs. Joulescope-based bench verification on the prototype.
DFM & production package
Gerbers, drill files, pick-and-place, BoM with manufacturer + alt-supplier parts, assembly drawings, and a DFM review with your CM.
Common board types we ship
- Wearable rigid-flex. Smart rings, watches, headsets — 4–8 layer rigid sections joined by flex stacks engineered for daily wear.
- Medical biosignal boards. ECG, EEG, PPG / SpO₂ front-ends. Quiet analog with isolated patient-applied parts where required.
- Industrial IoT controllers. Wi-Fi / cellular gateways, sensor hubs, edge controllers with field-rugged interfaces.
- Consumer connected products. BLE-controlled lighting, audio, and accessories. Cost-tuned BoM and antenna geometry that survives plastic enclosures.

FAQ
Which PCB tools do you use?
Altium Designer is our default for production boards. We also work in KiCad and Cadence Allegro on request, and can deliver Altium projects in formats that drop directly into your CM's workflow.
Do you handle RF / antenna design?
Yes. BLE and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz antenna placement, ground plane geometry, matching network tuning, and pre-compliance EMC review. Boards shipped through FCC / CE / IC certification.
Can you do rigid-flex for wearables?
Yes. Rigid-flex is the only practical layout for many wearables. We have shipped rings, watches, and headsets on rigid-flex boards, locking fold paths and bend radii with the mechanical team early.
Can you take a finished schematic and just do layout?
Yes. Layout-only engagements are common — we take your schematic and BoM, do the layout, and hand back production-ready Gerbers, drill files, pick-and-place, and a DFM review report.
