Your Partner in Electronic Prototype Design
Turn your innovative ideas into robust electronic prototypes swiftly with Ignitec. We tackle your time constraints, resource shortages, and technical challenges head-on, helping you hit the market faster.
The Ignitec advantage
The Ignitec advantage is the speed, expertise, and cost-effectiveness we bring to electronic prototype design.
Why use our electronic prototype design service?
- Rapid turnaround that keeps you ahead of the game
- Cost-effective solutions leveraged from our Asia-based fabrication partners
- Parallel processing of PCB design, firmware design, and mechanical design to avoid hold-ups
- Experienced and dedicated multidisciplinary team
- Reliable source components and pre-written code for faster outputs
- Streamlined process for designing electronic housings and enclosures
- Offers both project-by-project and ongoing support
At Ignitec, we understand the challenges startups and SMEs face when bringing an idea from concept to launch, particularly in the realm of electronic prototype design. Time constraints, lack of resources or expertise, outdated designs, tight customer deadlines, or simply not knowing where to start – we’ve seen it all. These hurdles can stifle innovation and dampen the competitive edge, but they don’t have to.
Your Challenges, Our Expertise
Our electronic prototype design service is tailor-made to address these pain points. We have a team of dedicated professionals who have been designing electronic prototypes for more than a decade. Their vast experience, coupled with a keen understanding of the market, helps us deliver fast and effective solutions.
Speed is Key
In the world of prototype design, speed is paramount. Our team has mastered the art of rapid turnaround without compromising on quality. From using pre-made templates to pre-written code, we know all the tricks of the trade that can speed up the design process.
Our Process
We don’t believe in a linear approach where one process holds up another. We operate with PCB design, firmware design, and mechanical design all in parallel. This means we can begin writing code for your electronic prototype before the electronics are fully designed. Similarly, we can design housings and enclosures before the PCBs are manufactured. This parallel processing offers you the fastest development cycles possible.
Cost-effective Solutions
Our partnership with Asia-based fabrication entities enables us to pass on significant savings on fabrication costs to our clients. If speed is your priority, we offer development cycles as fast as 24 hours.
With Ignitec’s electronic prototype design services, startups and SMEs can navigate their challenges and drive innovation with confidence.

FAQs
What PCB design software do you use?
We use Altium Designer for most of our PCB design projects. We can work with files generated by most other software packages including KiCad, Proteus, Eagle etc. Get in touch with us if you have questions regarding a particular design software package or file format.
Will you sign an NDA
Yes, get in touch with us and we will advise you on how to get an NDA set up.
Our previous electronic engineer has left and I need to make a change to a design, can you help?
Yes, get in touch with us and we can take a look at your design.
I have an old piece of hardware which need updating and no design files, can you help?
Yes, get in touch with us and we can discuss options for updating your design.
I have a design and some of the parts have gone obsolete, can you help?
Yes, get in touch with us and we can discuss options for sourcing new parts and updating your design.
What types of electronic design services do you offer?
We offer comprehensive services including circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, manufacturing, testing and software integration tailored to industries like medical, automotive, and IoT.
How quickly can you start working on my project?
We can begin design work on your project as soon as we understand your requirements, often starting within a few days of initial contact.
Do you handle manufacturing as well as design?
Yes, we provide full manufacturing services through our global network, ensuring your product is produced efficiently and to high standards.
Can you assist with product compliance and certifications?
Absolutely, we guide you through the entire compliance and certification process to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.
What makes your prototyping service stand out?
Our prototyping service is fast and efficient, allowing for rapid iterations and testing to perfect your product before mass production.
Can you help with software and firmware too?
Yes, our engineers work closely with you to develop and integrate software that complements the hardware, ensuring seamless functionality and performance.
What industries do you specialise in for electronic design?
We specialise in electronic design for industries such as medical, automotive, defence, and IoT, among others.
Can you handle both small and large production volumes?
Yes, our global manufacturing capabilities allow us to scale production to accommodate both small batches (usually 1-2 units minimum) and large-scale runs (>100,000) effectively.
What technologies do you incorporate in your designs?
We work with a range of technologies including all common wireless technologies, FPGA, and microcontrollers, tailored to your project’s needs.
How do you manage project communication and updates?
We maintain open and regular communication with our clients, providing updates at every stage of the project to ensure transparency and alignment.
What support do you offer post-manufacture?
We offer ongoing support after manufacturing, including troubleshooting, further iterations, and additional compliance assistance if needed.
Can you assist with other aspects of my project, such as mechanical design, custom enclosures, and housings?
Yes, we can help with mechanical design, custom enclosures, and housings, providing a comprehensive solution that encompasses all aspects of your product’s physical design.
How long does prototyping and manufacturing take?
Prototyping typically takes 1-2 weeks, though we offer a 24-48 hour fast track option for urgent needs. Manufacturing larger volumes generally takes about 4 weeks.
How long does a project take from start to finish?
Typically, projects take between 4 and 12 weeks depending on complexity. Larger and more complex projects may extend up to 6 months or more, and these are usually structured in smaller stages of 4-12 weeks each.
