We help hardware teams, engineering offices and EMS de-risk any board (IoT, sensors, power, USB, RF) before the next prototype or production run. Independent expert reviews, redesigns, and full electronics design from A to Z.
Clear value, whatever your setup.
Fill a specific expertise gap without hiring a senior engineer full-time.
Extra senior capacity for peak loads or specialised electronics work.
An external expert who reviews client designs before manufacturing.
Senior electronics support when you have one or two in-house engineers.
You know exactly what you buy, and what it saves you.
Schematic and layout reviewed against a rigorous checklist. Risks flagged before you spin the board.
Validate your architecture and component choices early, when changes are still cheap.
Make the board manufacturable and testable, with fewer surprises at the EMS.
Catch EMC risks by design, before you burn an expensive lab slot.
Inductive, magnetic and analog sensing done right, from signal chain to layout.
4G, Wi-Fi, BLE, GNSS, CAN and RS-485 with antenna and high-speed layout.
Bridge prototype to series: documentation, board bring-up, NPI.
Complete development from concept and schematic to production-ready boards.
Most engagements begin with a fixed-scope review, so you see the value before committing further.
Send schematics, layout or a short description of the problem. We can sign an NDA first.
We assess architecture, schematic, layout, EMC and manufacturability against a rigorous checklist.
You get a prioritised list of risks and fixes, ready to action before your next board spin.
A PCB respin costs weeks of delay and thousands in NRE and lost time. A structured expert review before fabrication is a small fraction of that, and it often catches the one issue that would have cost you the respin.
Automotive-grade inductive position sensing is a core specialty: coil design, IC selection, ISO 26262 PCB design and integration, built on hands-on work at Melexis. If your application needs precise, contactless position sensing, we go deep.
A sample of what we design and de-risk.
Central communication and telemetry board in Altium with 4G, GNSS, CAN and RS-485, fan-speed control and full EMC / DO-160 / CE / FCC compliance.
View detailsA central communication and telemetry board for a connected industrial product. Designed in Altium Designer with cellular 4G, GNSS positioning, CAN and RS-485 buses, a USB hub, fan-speed control and power management. Validated for EMC and qualified to DO-160, CE and FCC requirements.
Working demonstrator of a new inductive position-sensing technology, with a live on-screen position readout.
View detailsA complete demonstrator we built end to end for a new inductive position-sensing technology: a custom sensor PCB, acquisition electronics and a display showing the measured position in real time. Coil design, IC selection and firmware included.
High-speed and RF board design with antenna integration for next-generation electric-vehicle programs.
View detailsHigh-speed and RF electronics for a next-generation electric-vehicle program. Controlled-impedance high-speed routing, RF front-end and antenna integration, designed in Altium Designer to automotive requirements.
Multi-port USB hub and power distribution board with per-port switching, protection and LED status.
View detailsA multi-port USB hub and power distribution board. Designed in Altium Designer with per-port power switching, protection and LED status indication, validated on the bench.
Solder-on Bluetooth Low Energy add-on with external RF antenna, based on a Nordic nRF module, linking existing boards to BLE temperature sensors.
View detailsA compact solder-on Bluetooth Low Energy add-on that brings wireless connectivity to an existing PCB. Built around a Nordic Semiconductor nRF module with an external RF antenna, it communicates with BLE temperature sensors, and drops in to upgrade a board without redesigning it.
IPS Insights is a Swiss PCB and electronics consulting practice based in Lausanne, led by EPFL-trained electronics engineers. We help teams that need senior electronics judgment on a specific problem: a board to review, an architecture to validate, a design to take to production, or a proof of concept to build. We design the full range of boards, from IoT and connectivity to position and other sensors, power electronics, USB and RF, to automotive and aerospace-grade requirements.
Send a short description of your project or the board you'd like reviewed. We reply within a day.
