Global Reach, Local Expertise

A successful PCB layout is designed with the end-manufacturer in mind. Embien has cultivated strong relationships with leading fabrication houses across the globe—from North America and Europe to Asia. We understand their specific capabilities, material options, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) rules. This global partnership allows us to optimize your design for their processes, reducing fabrication queries, minimizing costs, and accelerating your time-to-market, no matter where you choose to manufacture.

Our team has worked with different PCB substrate materials such as FR4, Polyimide, and Rogers. We have also done rigid, flexible and hybrid PCBs on numerous instances.

Our High-Complexity Design Showcase

We consistently push the boundaries of what's possible, navigating complexities such as high-speed signal integrity, dense component placement, power delivery networks, and stringent environmental requirements. Our expertise allows us to engineer robust and reliable solutions for the most demanding applications.

Here are some examples of the complex PCB designs we have successfully undertaken:

24-Layer MPSoC System-on-Module (SoM)

We designed a highly dense SoM featuring a complex MPSoC, multiple DDR4 memory chips, and high-speed peripherals. The design required intricate routing with blind and buried vias and precise impedance control across all 24 layers.

Automotive eCockpit with IP67 Rating

A mechanically constrained PCB for a ruggedized eCockpit system. The layout had to accommodate multiple connectors on a single edge while meeting strict thermal and EMI/EMC standards for the automotive industry and ensuring ingress protection.

Ultra-Compact Hearing Aid on Flexible PCB

We engineered an ultra-small form factor design for a next-generation hearing aid, utilizing flexible PCB technology to fit complex circuitry into an ergonomic, non-linear shape.

Modular IoT Gateway with 5 RF Radios

A stacked PCB design for a telematics unit featuring Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and LoRa radios. The key challenge was meticulous RF layout and shielding to prevent inter-radio interference.

Simulation and Validation Excellence

At Embien, simulation is a cornerstone of our PCB layout process, ensuring flawless performance before production begins. Early validation helps us eliminate issues, reduce costs, and deliver PCBs that thrive in real-world conditions. Our toolkit includes:

HyperLynx

Signal and power integrity analysis for robust designs.

Ansys SIwave

Electromagnetic simulation for high-speed performance.

LTspice

Circuit simulation for analog and mixed-signal validation

Thermal Analysis

Heat management for high-power applications using Flotherm & Icepak.

EDA Tools We Master

Our proficiency across these platforms ensures your PCB meets performance, reliability, and budget goals, from two-layer prototypes to 24-layer masterpieces. Embien leverages industry-leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to craft exceptional PCB layouts:

Altium Designer

Perfect for rapid prototyping and intricate multi-layer boards.

Cadence Allegro

Advanced routing for high-speed, high-density designs.

KiCad

Open-source flexibility for cost-effective, scalable projects.

Eagle

Streamlined design for small to medium complexity boards.

Advanced Thermal Engineering & Analysis

Heat is the silent enemy of electronic reliability. As designs become more compact and powerful, effective thermal management is no longer optional—it's essential. Our thermal engineering services are integrated directly into the PCB layout process.

We are proficient with tools like FloTherm and Icepak. We perform detailed thermal simulations to identify potential hotspots early, optimize component placement for better airflow, and design effective heat dissipation strategies using thermal vias, copper pours, and heatsinks. This proactive approach prevents component degradation and ensures your product operates reliably throughout its lifecycle.

Designing for Reality: Seamless Mechanical Integration

A PCB does not exist in a vacuum. It must fit perfectly within a mechanical enclosure, align with ports and connectors, and withstand physical stresses. We understand the dynamics of mechanical design and constraints the designers live with.

Our PCB design team works in close collaboration with your mechanical engineers from day one. By exchanging 3D models (STEP, IDF), we ensure precise mechanical fitment, respecting keep-out zones, height restrictions, and mounting hole locations. This integrated approach eliminates costly late-stage surprises and ensures your final product is as elegant as it is functional.
