PCB design and electronics engineering in Lausanne

Custom electronic boards designed in Renens, for companies in Lausanne, the Lake Geneva region and across Switzerland.

An electronics design office close to you

IPS Insights is based in Renens, a few minutes from Lausanne and EPFL. We work with start-ups, industrial SMEs and assembly subcontractors who need a board designed, an existing product improved, or a board made safe before production.

Our EPFL-trained engineers handle the electronics from start to finish, from architecture to the first prototypes. You keep a single contact who knows your board in detail.

What we do for you

Board design

Architecture, component selection, schematic and layout in Altium Designer, from simple boards to multilayer designs.

Schematic and PCB review

An outside view before manufacturing: errors, EMC risks, manufacturability and board cost.

Manufacturing files

Gerbers, BOM, pick and place and assembly drawings, ready for your manufacturer.

Prototypes and bring-up

Ordering the first boards, power-up, measurements and fixes in our lab.

Cost reduction

Fewer layers, an optimised outline and equivalent parts, so the board costs less in series production.

Sensors and connected devices

Low-power electronics, Bluetooth, sensors and inductive position sensors, our speciality.

Who we work with

Start-ups and spin-offs

You have a product to bring to life, but no electronics engineer in the team yet.

Industrial SMEs

A new version, a board that causes trouble, or a workload peak to absorb.

Assembly subcontractors

Your customers arrive without a board ready to build: we design, you manufacture.

Where we work

Lausanne, Renens, Ecublens, Morges, Nyon, Vevey, Montreux, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Sion and the whole of Switzerland, remotely or on site as needed. We work in English and French.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to design a PCB?

It depends on the board: number of layers, components and interfaces. Our online quote tool gives an estimate in two minutes, and we then confirm a fixed price per phase.

Do you work in Altium Designer?

Yes, our boards are designed in Altium Designer. You receive the source files, PDF schematics and the complete manufacturing package, and they belong to you.

Can you take over an existing board?

Yes. We review schematics and layouts, fix boards that do not behave as expected, or develop a new version.

Where are the boards manufactured?

We prepare the files for the manufacturer of your choice, in Switzerland, Europe or Asia, and advise you according to your budget and volumes.

Do you work outside Lausanne?

Yes, across Switzerland, remotely or on site as needed, in English and French.
