Electrical Engineering

We take pride in being an experienced, single-source solutions provider for industrial organizations that need innovative electrical hardware designs. Our company serves general industry, automation, agriculture, mining equipment, off-highway transport like boats and helicopters, healthcare, and the transportation sector with a wide variety of services for complete project management from concept to installation. We offer capabilities for:

• Schematics
• Printed circuit board (PCB) layout and routing
• Protocols
• Modular hardware, power supply, and electromechanical design
• Firmware
• Embedded systems
• Customized OEM controls
• Industrial automation
• Wireless communications
• IoT

We’ve built our vertically integrated engineering process to streamline development while ensuring each client has a custom solution for long-term return on investment. Below, we’ll detail our step-by-step process for our custom industrial hardware services. 

Requirements Development

This phase is a project scope of work where we define hardware requirements that our engineering team will use for the design. Such requirements include communication protocols, onboard memory, power, I/O, and how the end customer will connect and use the product.

Electrical Schematics Generation

During this stage, our team uses the documentation from the development phase to generate detailed electrical drawings or schematics, indicating the intended connections amongst the circuitry components of your PCBA. Our team will revise these schematics based on your feedback until you’ve signed off on them to proceed with modeling.

Layout/Routing for PCB Component 

Next, we utilize part models and a PCB layout to define the necessary internal and external electrical connections for the device. By transporting the models into the layout, the DEVELOP LLC team can help you determine the power and signal needs, as well as the ideal placement of circuitry components, required mechanical features, and board size, for optimal performance and minimized electromagnetic interference (EMI) concerns. When done correctly, your completed initial PCB design will fully address the device’s connectivity needs.

Rapid Prototyping

Our rapid prototyping capabilities allow us to produce a revision of your PCB quickly to shorten your time to market. You’ll be able to evaluate the design in practice to confirm that your electrical device will meet your expectations. Simultaneously, our team will be designing firmware, executing component selection, and finalizing circuitry design for added efficiency.

Design for Manufacturing/Testing Checks

Design for manufacturing, or DFM, is the stage in which we ensure that your final design is compatible with the necessary manufacturing techniques and run size or throughput and that the device will perform dependably in its intended end application. We also offer design for testing (DFT) services as a final check for any design requirements and functional deficiencies. Once complete, DEVELOP LLC can proceed with manufacturing your PCB at scale. Our services include PCB and product assembly, as well.

If your organization doesn’t have a dedicated team of engineers or needs to prioritize cost-effective outsourcing for engineering projects, DEVELOP LLC is here to help. We offer expert consulting services, on-site manufacturing, and comprehensive project management. Additional benefits of working with us include:

• Assistance in selecting the optimal industrial hardware, parts, and operating systems to tailor a solution to your unique application
• Design development based on an in-depth knowledge of the needs of your target audience
• Customized solutions for hardware, firmware, and PCBs with a focus on innovation
• Design for Manufacturing to verify that you are providing the highest value to your industry

DEVELOP LLC specializes in industrial manufacturing and electrical, mechanical, and software engineering services with an emphasis on safety and functionality in our designs to help our customers succeed. With our diverse capabilities as a single-source solutions provider, we have the tools to tightly integrate with mechanism and case design and take your product from design and prototype to production, bringing your product to market faster.
