PCB Design

We design the electronics, you focus on your product

You have a strong team for software, industrial design, or production. But electronics? That takes time, requires specific expertise, and it needs to be right the first time. We take care of the entire process, from initial idea to production-ready PCB, including firmware if you want.

Professional PCB design by Jitter

Sound familiar?

  • You don't have a hardware engineer in-house, and don't want to hire one for a single project
  • Your software team is strong, but hardware keeps getting delayed or takes too much time
  • You've had a PCB made before that never really became stable
  • It needs to work not just on the bench, but also pass EMC testing
  • You want to build something that can be mass-produced later
  • You're not looking for an experiment, but a reliable design

We design PCBs for companies that need hardware, but don't want or can't do it themselves.

What we do

From idea to production

Every project is different. Sometimes you come with a sketch on a napkin, sometimes with a complete specification document. We pick it up where you need us.

Concept & architecture

Together we determine what the hardware needs to do. Which interfaces, which constraints, which environment. We think along about what's smart, and what's overkill.

Schematic design

Component selection, circuit design, power architecture. We make choices that not only work now, but will still be available and viable in two years.

PCB layout

From placement to routing, with attention to EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability, and testability. This is where a design is made or broken.

Prototyping & validation

We build prototypes, test them, and iterate where needed. Including the firmware to bring the hardware to life. You don't get a bare PCB, but a working system.

Production support

When the design is ready for production, we help with the handover. Bills of materials, fabrication files, and contact with the manufacturer.

Every step is optional. You can have us do the entire process, or just the part where you need help.

Hardware and firmware

Many projects don't stop at the PCB. Hardware needs to be controlled, sensors read out, data processed or transmitted. We can also take on the firmware, so hardware and software are aligned from the start. Saves integration problems later.

Do you have a strong firmware team yourself? Fine, then we'll just deliver the hardware and ensure a proper handover.

How we work

Pragmatic

We build what you need, not what's technically most interesting. No over-engineering, but robust solutions.

Direct lines

You talk to the engineers doing the work. No project managers translating, no waiting weeks for an answer.

Hardware and firmware together

When we do both, they're aligned from the start. No finger-pointing afterward about where the problem lies.

Production-focused

We design with the end result in mind. A PCB that works in the lab but can't be manufactured is not a good design.

EMC-aware

We know what it takes to pass certification. That's built into the design from the start, not as an afterthought.

What we have experience with

  • Sensor integration and signal conditioning
  • Mixed-signal designs (analog + digital)
  • Low-power and battery-powered systems
  • Industrial applications and harsh environments
  • Interfaces: USB, Ethernet, RS-485, SPI, I²C, custom
  • Designs for CE certification

What you get

  • A PCB design that works, not just on paper
  • Clear documentation: schematics, layout, bills of materials
  • Insight into the choices made (and why)
  • A design that can be manufactured, even in larger quantities
  • Optional: firmware, working prototypes, tested and validated

About us

Jitter has been doing this for ten years. We've created designs that run in the field, that have passed EMC, that are manufactured in series. We know what goes wrong if you're not careful, and how to prevent it.

Already have a design but want it checked?
