Layout expertise, scoped to what your board actually needs
Every engagement starts with your schematic and your constraints — timeline, budget, target performance. From there, I bring in exactly the depth of layout and signal-integrity work your board requires, whether that’s a single high-speed layout or ongoing design support across a product roadmap.
Advanced Layout & Routing
Multi-layer, HDI, and rigid-flex design for high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal architectures. Includes differential pair routing, length matching, and serpentine delay compensation for boards where timing and signal fidelity can’t be an afterthought.
Stack-Up & Impedance Engineering
Custom layer stack-up design built around your signal performance and EMI targets — not a generic template. Dielectric material selection and precise controlled-impedance calculation (40/50Ω single-ended, 80/90/100Ω differential), plus return path continuity and reference plane optimization to keep signals clean end to end.
Signal & Power Integrity (SI/PI)
Optimization for high-speed buses — DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB — alongside power distribution network design, decoupling capacitor placement, and loop-inductance minimization. Crosstalk, reflection, and ground bounce get engineered out before they show up on a scope.
DFM / DFT & Fabrication Packages
Rigorous Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly verification, followed by complete, error-free fabrication packages — Gerber, ODB++, IPC netlists, assembly drawings, and pick-and-place files. Direct collaboration with your fabricator and assembly house keeps first-pass yield high and surprises low.
Design Team Augmentation
Need dedicated layout bandwidth for a critical milestone rather than a single deliverable? I plug into your team on a project or ongoing basis, working inside your existing tools and process so the added capacity feels seamless, not bolted-on.
