PI’s electronics team follows a well-structured and collaborative process to deliver robust, sustainable, and innovative designs. With a team of more than 20 engineers and technicians from a range of industry backgrounds, we have expertise across all aspects of electronics development. Our well-established library of proven design solutions will help get your product to market faster.
Architecture Definition
Our team is experienced in designing electronics architectures to achieve the optimum balance between performance, technical risk, development effort and cost-of-goods. There is an early focus on design reuse, Design for Excellence (DFX), design for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/safety, and key component selection for long-term product sustainment.
Detailed Design for PCBs
We employ various tools such as Altium/Nexus, SPICE, and Polar Si8000 to design, simulate and accurately specify outputs for PCB fabrication, assembly and testing. We have expert capabilities in the following areas:
Build and Integration
In the early stages of development, our team of highly skilled technicians define interconnection strategies and custom cable designs with a focus on Design for Manufacture (DFM), product safety and EMC. As development progresses, we work in a cross-functional team to integrate electronics within prototypes and early production units, while contributing to manufacturing work instructions to ensure a seamless transition to production.
Electronics Lab and EMC Chamber
We have a large, well-equipped electronics laboratory for small-scale prototype builds, rework and testing. In addition, we have the capability and equipment to perform the following EMC pre-compliance testing in-house:
Compliance Engineering
We are experts in developing medical and laboratory instruments to meet global safety and EMC requirements. Our team specializes in the following aspects of compliance engineering:
