Service 05 · Build

Schematic to working board.

Send Gerbers, BOM, and a schematic. We source the parts, fab the boards (or you supply), assemble, do a basic power-on test, and ship working prototypes back to your bench.

// What this is

Hand off the bring-up logistics.

You designed it. You don't want to source 47 BOM lines on a Friday afternoon, paste-stencil it Saturday, and stay up Sunday hand-soldering QFNs. We do the build. You bring up the firmware.

This service combines SMT assembly + sourcing + light test into a single quote. If you'd rather supply parts and just get the build, that's fine too. We'll quote either way.

// Process

From files to boots-on-the-bench.

01

Files in — Gerbers, BOM, schematic

We DFM-check footprints, run BOM availability, and flag anything questionable before quoting.

02

Quote with sourced + assembled split out

You see PCB cost, parts cost, and assembly cost separately. You can pull any of them out.

03

We fab + source in parallel

PCBs go to fab while parts ship in. Total elapsed time depends on which is the long pole.

04

Build + power-on

Standard SMT line, AOI on every board, X-ray on BGAs, then a basic power-on (no smoke, expected current).

05

Ship with the build sheet

BOM rev, build photos, assembly notes, any deviations. ESD packaged.

// Pricing

Quote-only.

Every project is priced individually. Send the details and we’ll come back same business day with a fixed-price quote, a lead time, and any DFM red flags.

// FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a finalized BOM?
Yes, ideally with manufacturer part numbers. We can suggest substitutions if anything's out of stock.
Can you fab the PCB too?
We hand off to JLCPCB / OSH Park / your fab. You can also send us bare boards directly — same quote either way.
What does "power-on test" mean exactly?
Continuity check on power rails, expected current draw under no-load. Anything beyond that requires a fixture or a script you supply.
Can you do firmware bring-up?
Not as a default. We can flash a binary you supply, but full bring-up is your team's bench.

Got files, want boards?

Drop your Gerbers and BOM into the quote form. We'll come back with a price, lead time, and any DFM red flags — usually same business day.
