our pcb engineering process

01.

Design Review

We collaborate early to review schematics and conduct Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis—ensuring your layout is optimized for efficient, high-yield production.

02.

Prototyping & Validation

Our rapid prototyping services turn designs into functional units fast, enabling thorough testing, feedback, and early design validation.

03.

Pre-Production Optimization

We fine-tune materials, processes, and test plans to ensure a smooth transition from prototype to full production—reducing risk and ensuring scalability.

04.

Full-Scale Production Support

With engineering oversight, quality control, and documentation throughout, we scale up seamlessly while maintaining precision and consistency across every unit.

"A delightful company to work with. Could not have done it without your expertise."

"EI excels in responsiveness, support and flexibility. I very much appreciate EI’s ability to adapt on the fly."

"I appreciate the work EI does most of all because it makes my job easier."

"Overall, EI does a great job in dealing with everything we throw at them. They are responsive and understanding of us, even though it may not always be the most reasonable of requests. As a buyer, I feel lucky to have a supplier that works with us like they do."

"Working on a project that had a board that was simply not manufacturable the way it was set up, EI went above and beyond to help with engineering and still met a very short deadline."
