MANUFACTURING & TESTING

Before manufacturing starts, our PCB engineering team dives into your data and documentation. Our engineers are specialized in DFM, DFA, and DFT methodologies and are committed to ensuring every customer receives the same expert level of engineering service. A design review for manufacturability and testability will help us to work with you to resolve any potential issues. If necessary, we can provide the expertise to redesign your project for you.

We support several PCB layout tools including Allegro, Altium, and PADS. Our staff can make design changes for manufacturability for you or do the entire layout of your design. Our expertise also covers areas such as the complete chassis build of your product, along with any necessary interconnecting cables and harnesses. Whatever your engineering requirements are, we are prepared to supply you with the help you need.

ENGINEERING & DESIGN

If you need an NPI or proof-of-concept design quickly, we have a dedicated team that specializes in prototype builds. Our fast-tracked manufacturing process allows us to focus on a limited run and quick turnaround time to complete your design as soon as possible. A product specialist will be assigned to fast-track your design through all the production process steps. Our team will work closely with you to resolve any potential design and manufacturing issues, and make necessary on-the-fly design adjustments to meet your needs.

Once your design is received, our team immediately procures parts and orders PCBs from a quick-turn fabricator to ensure assembly can begin the next day. Throughout the entire manufacturing process, the product specialist we assign will walk your design through each step, ensuring it is completed successfully and shipped back to you promptly. By shortening the product development timeline, we can help you get your product to market faster.

BOX BUILD ASSEMBLY

When we receive the specifications for your box build, it will get the same level of scrutiny we give to building a printed circuit board. Our engineering staff will first review your design data and work with you to resolve any potential problems. Next, we will source the parts and materials needed for your box build before we start production.

Once manufacturing begins, you will see many unique benefits only VSE can provide. With the production of the PCBAs, wire harnesses, and enclosure all done concurrently, every piece will be custom manufactured for compatibility and a precise fit. We are the single source for all data management, saving you the hassle of tracking different builds through multiple vendors. Additionally, your box build is tested with all of its electronics included, so you can be confident your complete system will function exactly as expected.

WIRE HARNESS & CABLE ASSEMBLY

It takes tremendous work to develop a printed circuit board assembly, and most systems will require multiple boards working together. The system is another major benchmark, as the circuit boards and other hardware must all fit snugly and work together seamlessly within a well-designed system enclosure. Yet with all of this design work, the wire harnesses and cable assemblies that enable communication between boards are often the last part of the system to be developed. Without well-designed interconnects, the PCBs and system components may operate unexpectedly.

At VSE, we understand electronics manufacturing. Other companies may be able to build a wire harness or cable assembly, but we know the devil is in the details: system interconnections and integration will optimize design performance. We will leverage our expertise in engineering, manufacturing, system assembly, and full system testing to ensure the design intent of your electronic systems shines through.

PCB SERVICE BUREAU

Successfully incorporating best practices for PCB engineering requires designing the board to meet specific standards and tolerances. Some of these include incorporating high-speed design rules and constraints and adhering to design for manufacturability (DFM) rules. Not all companies have the engineering resources to meet these requirements.

VSE is familiar with the position that companies like these are in. Our PCB engineering team can handle everything from schematic capture to full PCB layout. If your needs are as simple as a design review or as complex as creating a complete layout from scratch, we can provide the PCB service bureau resources you need.

TURNKEY ASSEMBLY

Products work better when individual design aspects mesh. Electronic manufacturing is a complex industry spanning many disciplines; it’s not merely enough for different portions of the design to interface, they must do so with high-performance demands in mind. As devices shrink in size yet grow in power, it has become more pressing for design teams to look for any edge available.

A turnkey assembly operation can bundle many services for both cost and convenience. Design teams don’t need to worry about staging development across multiple manufacturers and instead can focus on optimizing the build. Internal communication lines mean less delay and a quick product turnaround without the go-between errors that can occur when production is split between multiple parties. In the event of future revisions, all originating files and documentation also reside in one place.

LOW-VOLUME PCB SERVICES

Not every device is destined for scaled manufacturing, or at least not immediately. Low-volume PCB lots benefit in many ways from a relaxation of cost as the driving force of the design. PCBAs that would have to focus on minimizing redundancies or cutting features can instead be designed expeditiously with fewer constraints. Designs solidify at an earlier time, which is especially valuable for NPIs.

As VSE’s lean manufacturing capabilities get NPIs to market sooner, our high-volume production facility in Reno is ready to meet additional manufacturing throughput. Most importantly, NPI PCBAs starting at our San Jose location will utilize the same equipment and engineering team in Reno for uninterrupted scalability.
