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 and specific knowledge, and it has to be right the first time. As a specialized PCB design consultancy we take that whole process off your hands: from first idea to production-ready PCB, including the firmware if you want.
We design PCBs for companies that need hardware but can't or don't want to design it themselves.
From idea to production
Every project is different, so every PCB design we make is custom. Sometimes you come to us with a sketch on a napkin, sometimes with a full specification document. We pick it up wherever you need us.
Together we work out what the hardware needs to do: which interfaces, which constraints, which environment. We help you decide what makes sense and what is overkill.
Component selection, circuit design, power architecture. We make choices that work now and will still be available and maintainable two years from now.
From placement to routing, with attention to EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability and testability. This is where a design succeeds or fails.
We build prototypes, test them and iterate where needed, including the firmware that brings the hardware to life. So you get a working system instead of a bare PCB. You can read how we do that in Board bringup: how we test that your hardware works.
When the design is ready for series production, we help with the handover to production: bills of materials, fabrication files and contact with the factory.
Every step is optional. You can have us do the whole process, or only the part you can't handle yourself.
Many projects don't stop at the PCB. Hardware needs to be controlled, sensors read out, data processed or sent. We can take on the firmware as well, so hardware and software fit together from the start. That saves you integration problems later.
Do you have a strong firmware team of your own? Fine, then we deliver only the hardware and make sure the handover is done properly.
We build what you need, even if something else would be more interesting technically. We don't over-engineer, and what we build is solid.
You talk to the engineers who do the work. There are no project managers in between, and you don't wait weeks for an answer.
When we do both, they fit together from the start. Nobody points fingers afterwards about where the problem is.
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.
We know what it takes to pass certification. We build that into the design from the start.
Jitter B.V. has worked as a PCB design consultancy for more than ten years. Our custom PCB designs run in the field, have passed EMC and are produced in series. We know what goes wrong when you are not careful, and how to prevent it. Take the new controller for BTB Energy: a board with a 4G modem, from first sketch to working prototype in 12 weeks.
