Electronics and PCB design — prototype and revision-ready
Schematic and PCB layout, revisions, DFM and prototype-ready manufacturing outputs (Gerbers, BOM, notes).
What this service is
We design and revise electronics for prototypes and products, focusing on deliverables that manufacturers can actually build.
Typical scope includes:
Schematic Design or Modification
PCB Layout — New or Revision
DFM Considerations & Iteration Support
Prototype-ready Manufacturing Output Pack
Scope confirmed during discovery — partial scope engagements available.
Who it's for
Tap any row to see why.
You need a V1 prototype PCB for a new product idea
→We scope around your concept stage — imperfect specs welcome. We help define what 'done' looks like before layout begins.
You need a revision to improve reliability, manufacturability, or assembly
→Targeted revisions to existing designs — improving yield, reducing assembly complexity, or fixing field failures.
You want clear handover files (Gerbers / BOM / notes) and documentation
→Every engagement ends with a manufacture-ready output pack your CM can act on without chasing you for clarification.
Your project is a regulated medical device or manned aviation / aerospace
→These domains require specialist compliance frameworks we don't cover. We'll tell you upfront rather than waste your time.
You need highly specialised autonomy R&D — not electronics design itself
→Niche autonomy research beyond pragmatic drones or mechatronics positioning sits outside our current scope.

— Overview
Primary EDA tools for schematic capture and PCB layout — chosen to match your existing environment or CM requirements.
— Tooling
Toolchain confirmed during discovery — always matched to your environment.
Relevant work
Two examples of electronics design engagements — PCB stabilisation and V1 prototype builds.
reduction in assembly failures
PCB Stabilisation for IoT Sensor Module
— Problem
A hardware startup had a V2 board with persistent assembly failures and field reliability issues. CM was flagging the same defects across every batch.
— Outcome
Full DFM review and targeted layout revision. Footprint corrections, courtyard fixes, and trace rerouting around a thermal hotspot. New manufacturing pack delivered in two revision rounds.
— What we built
- DFM audit report
- Revised KiCad layout
- Updated Gerbers & drill files
- Assembly constraint notes
— Stack
prototype built first pass
V1 Prototype PCB for Wearable Device
— Problem
A founder needed a V1 prototype PCB for a wearable concept — no existing design, just a requirements brief and a target CM in mind.
— Outcome
Schematic design, multi-layer PCB layout, and a full manufacturing output pack. CM received Gerbers, BOM with LCSC references, and pick-and-place on first handover.
— What we built
- Full schematic
- 4-layer PCB layout
- Gerbers + drill files
- BOM with alternates
- PnP + assembly notes

How we keep quality high
Quality practices we apply to every electronics and PCB design engagement — from prototype boards to production revisions.
Define electrical requirements before layout
Signal constraints, power budgets, connectors, and mechanical limits are clarified before layout begins so the PCB design reflects real system requirements.
Review schematics before PCB layout
We review component choices, power paths, and signal routing assumptions before layout to reduce redesign cycles and avoid avoidable board revisions.
Track manufacturing and assembly risks
Component availability, assembly constraints, and layout risks are documented early so boards can move smoothly from design to fabrication.
Deliver fabrication-ready outputs
Gerbers, drill files, BOM, and assembly notes are organised and validated so your contract manufacturer can build without confusion.
