VSE prides itself on industry-leading assembly of prototypes, NPIs, and high-volume lots, all while maintaining rigorous industry and organizational standards for excellence. Our ceaseless commitment to quality and punctuality ensures rapid production within budget, with the high-end performance demanded by modern electronics.
Companies choose VSE not only for speed and technical expertise but also for a collaborative approach that keeps their goals at the center of every decision. To meet those goals, we focus on three areas that matter most to our clients:
VSE combines the responsiveness of a boutique partner with the advanced capabilities of a major. That balance gives you the freedom to adjust production as needs change, while maintaining precision and keeping timelines on track.
By partnering with a U.S.-based manufacturing partner, you gain visibility and control throughout the process. This approach minimizes exposure to overseas disruptions and ensures every assembly is built with components that meet the highest standards.
As your manufacturing partner, VSE also protects what matters most: your intellectual property, product integrity, and long-term success. With secure systems, transparent processes, and a team committed to your objectives, you can innovate confidently knowing your technology is in trusted hands.
Each industry has unique technical and regulatory demands, and your manufacturing partner must be prepared to meet them. VSE brings decades of cross-industry experience, building PCB assemblies that meet the rigorous standards of regulated and high-stakes markets. Our tailored approach helps you navigate complexity and bring reliable products to market with confidence.
We partner with clients across a wide range of sectors, including:
The VSE staff has the practical experience, technical training, and industry certifications to expertly manufacture your PCB assemblies according to specifications while offering design-for-manufacturing (DFM) suggestions and corrections that unlock a device’s capabilities. After production, test engineers and quality control meticulously inspect the PCBA for a long-lasting service life that doesn’t compromise on design intent.
Production proceeds accordingly through exacting specifications and industry IPC standards for circuit board assembly, cable manufacturing, integration, quality inspections, and in-circuit testing.
Verifying product quality and functionality is at the heart of assembly at VSE. Beyond our certified quality management system (QMS), we apply a range of testing methods to confirm that every board, cable, assembly, and enclosure performs as intended. From environmental demands to application-specific requirements, our disciplined approach ensures consistency, compliance, and long-term reliability.
VSE offers comprehensive testing solutions that support every stage of PCBA manufacturing and system integration, giving you the confidence that your product will meet its performance goals in the field.
Early-stage development benefits from careful testing and refinement before committing to full-scale production. VSE’s prototyping services allow you to validate designs, test small batches, and identify compliance issues early. This approach reduces the risk of costly redesigns later and helps accelerate your path to market.
Customized PCBA Manufacturing to Meet Your NPI Requirements
When developing a new product introduction (NPI), you need more than a vendor—you need a partner that understands both design complexity and manufacturing discipline. At VSE, a dedicated prototype specialist oversees your project to apply design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles that improve performance, enhance quality, and increase yield.
Once your design is ready to scale, VSE can transition production seamlessly to our strategically located Reno facility, trusted by industries from medical devices to aerospace. This ensures a smooth rollout with the capacity to meet growing demand while maintaining the same standards of precision and reliability.
Complex products often require more than a finished circuit board. VSE extends its capabilities beyond PCBAs to include complete box-build assembly and cable harness integration. By managing both the electronic and mechanical elements under one roof, we help you streamline production, reduce handoffs, and maintain tight control over quality and compliance.
Rarely is the PCBA the end of product design; instead, it serves as the starting point for MCAD integration into the larger system. VSE is equally capable of supporting both mechanical and electronic needs: engineers, designers, and technicians have the expertise to integrate your system into a complete box-build.
Total system builds encompassing the entire circuit board manufacturing process and adjacent functionality mean our San Jose facility can build your project from the ground up without coordinating with multiple manufacturing shops.
When precision and compliance matter, certifications assure that every assembly meets the highest industry standards. VSE’s processes are built on disciplined quality systems and verified by official certifications that reflect our commitment to reliable, U.S.-based manufacturing. These certifications are directly tied to our PCB assembly and testing services, ensuring consistency from prototype to full-scale production.
Certifications matter because they prove a manufacturer’s ability to deliver consistent, reliable results. ISO 9001 defines the framework for a QMS that ensures repeatable, reproducible processes across every build. For medical device manufacturing, ISO 13485 extends those principles further, requiring strict documentation, risk management, and regulatory compliance to protect patient safety.
At VSE, these certifications guide the foundation of our PCBA quality services. From pre-production design reviews to disciplined supplier sourcing and rigorous assembly processes, every step is designed to improve yields, reduce risk, and maintain compliance. Skilled technicians apply these standards to ensure each board meets specifications and performs reliably in the field.
IPC standards are the benchmark for electronic assembly quality worldwide. IPC-A-610 defines the acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies, covering soldering, component placement, and workmanship criteria. J-STD-001 establishes the standard for soldered electrical and electronic assemblies, requiring manufacturers to adhere to rigorous processes for materials, methods, and inspection.
For advanced healthcare technology, IPC compliance is essential to ensure safety, reliability, and long-term performance. At VSE, certified IPC trainers oversee processes that align with the electronic requirements for medical devices, from solder joint integrity to component traceability. By integrating these standards into our electronic manufacturing services, we help medical device innovators meet stringent regulatory expectations while accelerating time to market with confidence.
Bringing complex electronic products to market requires more than technical expertise—it takes a manufacturing partner you can rely on for quality, speed, and collaboration at every step. With decades of experience, industry certifications, and a commitment to disciplined process control, VSE is equipped to help you overcome design challenges and meet the strictest performance and compliance requirements.
Whether you need prototype support, comprehensive testing, or full-scale box-build integration, VSE delivers custom solutions tailored to your goals. More than a manufacturer, act as an extension of your team—protecting your vision and enabling innovation that can truly impact lives..
