What we do

Engineering services, end to end

You bring the mission requirements. We handle the electronics — from architecture to a board you can integrate and fly.

Custom PCB Design

Schematic capture, multi-layer layout, signal & power integrity, and DFM-ready Gerbers. We design to IPC standards and your mechanical envelope.

  • 2–12 layer boards
  • High-density & flex-rigid
  • Full fabrication package
🛰️

CubeSat Avionics

Complete subsystem boards designed for the space environment — mechanically and electrically compatible with standard CubeSat stacks.

  • EPS, OBC, ADCS, comms
  • PC/104 stack-compatible
  • Payload interface boards
🔧

Assembly & Bring-Up

Prototype assembly, firmware bring-up support, and functional test. We hand you a board that powers on and talks to the bus on day one.

  • Prototype & small-batch
  • Functional test reports
  • Firmware bring-up support
📐

Design Review & Rework

Have an existing design? We review schematics and layout, find the failure modes, and deliver a respin that works.

  • Schematic & layout audit
  • EMC & thermal review
  • Respin & optimization

Let’s talk

Indicative starting prices; final quote depends on layer count, complexity, and quantity. Universities & student teams — ask about academic pricing.

How it works

From requirements to flight hardware

  1. 01

    Tell us the mission

    Send your requirements — form factor, power budget, interfaces, payload. A short call or email is enough to get started.

  2. 02

    Quote & architecture

    Within 24 hours you get a fixed-scope quote, a block diagram, and a timeline. No surprises, no hourly creep.

  3. 03

    Design & review

    Schematic and layout with milestone reviews. You see and approve the design before anything is fabricated.

  4. 04

    Build, test, deliver

    Fabrication, assembly, and functional test. You receive the board, the full design package, and a test report.

Why teams choose us

Specialist focus, fast turnaround, honest pricing

We do one thing: electronics for small satellites. That focus means you get hardware that fits the stack and the schedule.

  • Space-aware design. Derating, single-event mitigation, and thermal margins baked in from the schematic.
  • Standards-compliant. CubeSat Design Spec mechanics, PC/104 stack, IPC-class workmanship.
  • Fixed-scope quotes. You know the price and timeline before work starts.
  • Full ownership. You get the source design files — no lock-in.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

The things teams ask us before starting. Don’t see yours? Just ask.

Do I own the design files?

Yes. You receive the full source design package — schematics, PCB layout source, Gerbers, drill files, BOM, and assembly drawings. No vendor lock-in, ever.

What is your typical lead time?

You get a fixed-scope quote within one business day. Prototype boards typically take 2–6 weeks depending on complexity, layer count, and fabrication queue.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. We routinely work under NDA and treat your mission details and IP as strictly confidential. Send yours, or use ours.

Which tools and deliverables do you use?

We design in industry-standard EDA tools and deliver a complete, fab-ready package: schematics, layout source, Gerbers, drill files, BOM, pick-and-place files, and a functional test report.

How does payment work?

Projects are quoted and invoiced in USD with milestone-based payments — typically a deposit to begin and the balance on delivery. No hidden hourly billing.

Can you support export-controlled or ITAR programs?

We focus on commercial, educational, and research hardware. If your program involves export-controlled or ITAR-regulated items, tell us up front so we can scope it correctly or point you to the right partner.

Can you work with my existing team or contract manufacturer?

Absolutely. We hand off clean, documented design files and can coordinate directly with your CM, or manage fabrication and assembly for you — your choice.
