PCBA + Embedded Testing Service Β· MontrΓ©al, Canada
You get working
boards.
Not just assembled ones.
Firmware validated, peripherals tested, failures diagnosed. Your IP never leaves MontrΓ©al.
The problem
Your EMS shop assembled the boards. Some don't boot. A peripheral isn't responding. One fails intermittently under load.
The shop's job is done. They return the failures as-is. You're alone at 11pm with a JTAG probe and a deadline.
This is the standard experience for every hardware startup getting their first or second board spin back.
What we do differently
We assemble your boards and we bring them up. Every board is flashed, booted, and run through a peripheral validation sweep before it ships.
Failed boards get root-cause analysis and rework β not a return slip. We design the test protocol for your board at intake so every subsequent batch runs the same documented validation.
Why MontrΓ©al matters
Your Gerber files, schematics, and firmware never leave our facility. No overseas factory sees your design. We are not a marketplace that routes your files to the cheapest available shop.
Every board is assembled and tested in-house, in Canada.
Certificate of Canadian origin available on request for procurement and compliance.
Validated on every run
Every board. Every batch.
The same documented validation protocol runs on your first prototype and your 200-unit pilot. No shortcuts on subsequent runs.
How it works
Gerber, BOM, and schematic. We do a DFM + testability review before cutting a single board.
SMT assembly, reflow, AOI β then firmware flash, boot validation, and full peripheral sweep.
Any board that doesn't pass gets root-cause analysis and rework. You don't receive a return slip.
Structured pass/fail log per serial number, failure summary, and a reusable test protocol for future batches.
Pricing
Straightforward tiers.
All tiers include assembly, firmware bring-up, validation sweep, and a per-board pass/fail report. No hidden line items for testing.
