1. 📞 Client Requirement Intake

• Gather initial information:
  • Functional description of the product
  • Technical specifications (voltage, current, communication protocols, dimensions, etc.)
  • Block diagram (if available)
  • Budget and timeline expectations
• Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if necessary

2. 📊 Technical Analysis & Consultation

• Engineers assess feasibility and suggest optimal solutions
• Recommend components and technologies
• Define project milestones, deliverables, and estimated schedule

3. 🧩 Schematic Design

• Create the circuit schematic using professional tools ( KiCad is prefered)

4. 🧭 PCB Layout Design

• Place components and route traces
• Optimize for size, thermal performance, and manufacturability
• Submit layout for Client Review – Round 1
• Apply revisions based on feedback

5. 📦 Design Package Delivery

Client receives:

• Schematic files (.SCH or PDF)
• PCB layout files (.PCB or Gerber)
• Gerber + NC Drill files for fabrication
• Bill of Materials (BOM) – component list
• Pick and Place file – for automated assembly
• 2D/3D PCB renderings (if requested)
• STEP file – for mechanical integration

6. 🧪 Prototype Fabrication & Assembly (optional)

• Manufacture sample boards (2–5 units)
• Assemble components
• Perform functional testing ( done by customer if firmware based from customer development)
• Ship prototypes for Client Review – Round 2

7. 🔁 Feedback Loop & Finalization

• Client tests prototypes and provides feedback
• Engineers fix bugs, optimize performance, update design and notice customer about extra cost if any.
• Final design is prepared for mass production
