PCB Review Service
Built by engineers,
for engineers.

Everyone misses things in their own design. A senior hardware engineer catches them before you order boards.

You get a severity-rated report with specific findings and concrete fix recommendations across schematic, layout, BOM, EMC, thermal, lifecycle, and reliability.

What you receive

A report that tells you exactly what to fix — and why

Every finding comes with a specific reference, an explanation of why it matters, and a concrete recommendation. No vague suggestions.

  • Specific component or net reference for each issue
  • Wrong symbols or footprints flagged against the datasheet
  • BOM cost savings — alternatives and over-spec'd components identified
  • Concrete fix recommendation per finding
  • Optional review call to walk through findings together

Why it matters

You will miss things in your own design. Everyone does.

When you draw a schematic yourself, you read it the way you intended it. A second pair of eyes sees it the way it actually is. We regularly catch issues the designer had stopped noticing: a pull-up forgotten, a footprint that does not match the datasheet, a decoupling cap placed too far away to do anything useful.

Beyond mistakes, we flag where your design deviates from best practice — not because it will necessarily fail, but because knowing the tradeoff helps you decide. That kind of feedback is hard to get unless you have a senior engineer on your team.

Things we commonly find
Pull-up or pull-down missing on a reset or boot pin Critical
Footprint does not match component datasheet Critical
Decoupling cap placed too far from IC power pin Advisory
Return current path broken by ground plane slot Advisory
I2C pull-up value wrong for bus capacitance Advisory
Component substitution that reduces BOM cost Info

About

Senior engineers. Practical feedback.

Hardware engineers with backgrounds in consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial systems — at both large companies and startups. We review designs the way we would want our own reviewed: looking at what the circuit is trying to do, not just whether the rules pass.

About our team →
Consumer Electronics

IoT, wearables, connected devices. RF design, power optimisation, manufacturing at scale.

Medical Devices

IEC 60601, patient safety isolation, design history file. Regulatory experience from concept to certification.

Industrial Systems

Fieldbus, motor control, high-voltage isolation, IEC 61000. Tier-1 supplier experience.

Hardware Startups

Moved fast, shipped products. We know what it is like to review under time pressure with limited resources.

Send us your design. We will take a look.
