PCB + Firmware Prototype Revision

Already have a PCB revision that's failing, or firmware that needs a focused update? This package scopes one clean revision cycle — design changes, validation, and manufacturing-ready outputs.

Overview

What It Is

A fixed-scope hardware revision package. We review your existing schematic and firmware, agree on a change list, implement the changes, and deliver a new manufacturing pack (Gerbers, BOM, assembly notes) plus updated firmware repo. One revision cycle — clearly scoped, clearly bounded.

Fit Check

Who It's For

✓ Good fit

  • Hardware startups on revision 2 or 3 who need a clean, manufacturable output
  • Companies whose contract PCB designer left mid-design
  • Teams with known schematic or layout issues needing a focused fix sprint
  • Products approaching a pilot manufacturing run needing DFM improvements

✗ Not a fit

  • Ground-up PCB designs (use Blueprint Sprint then End-to-End Product Development)
  • Projects requiring more than one full revision cycle in scope
  • Projects without existing design files to revise
Outputs

Deliverables

  • Agreed change list documented before work begins
  • Revised schematic (KiCad or Altium)
  • Updated PCB layout with DFM improvements
  • Gerbers, BOM with approved alternates, and pick-and-place files
  • Assembly notes and revision changelog
  • Updated firmware source repo with revision notes
Process

Timeline & Process

  1. Week 1

    Design Review & Change List

    Review existing files, document agreed changes, and confirm manufacturing target.

  2. Weeks 2–5

    Design Work

    Schematic updates, PCB layout revision, and firmware changes.

  3. Week 6

    Design Review

    Client review of updated outputs before finalising manufacturing files.

  4. Weeks 7–8

    Finalise & Handover

    Manufacturing pack and updated firmware repo delivered.

What We Need

Requirements From You

  • Existing design files (schematic, PCB project, firmware repo)
  • Known issue list or change request document
  • Target PCB fabricator (or agreement to use our recommended vendor)
  • Component constraints (e.g., preferred suppliers, approved parts list)
Next Steps

What Happens After

You receive a complete manufacturing pack ready to submit to a PCB fabricator and assembler, plus an updated firmware repo. A 14-day post-handover support window covers questions on the delivered files.
