Electronic Hardware Design Services in Ireland
RTR’s electronic hardware design services take your product from concept to production-ready PCB. Our in-house engineering team in Limerick, Ireland delivers schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, design-for-manufacture (DFM) review, BOM optimisation and rapid prototyping, all coordinated with our assembly floor under one ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
Our electronic hardware design process is meticulous and thorough, ensuring every product meets functional, environmental, and regulatory requirements. We follow a structured workflow that includes:
Concept Development
We collaborate with clients to define objectives, specifications, and design constraints, laying a solid foundation for the project.
Schematic Design
PCB Layout
Prototyping and Testing
Compliance and Certification
Comprehensive Hardware Design Services
Our electronic hardware design services are tailored to each client’s specific requirements, with a focus on creating high-quality, cost-effective solutions. Our offerings include:
Analog and Digital Circuit Design
Expertise in both analog and digital domains enables us to develop robust circuits for a variety of applications, ensuring signal clarity, reduced noise, and optimal power management.
High-Speed Design
We specialize in high-speed PCB design for applications where fast data processing is crucial. Our engineers carefully plan routing, signal integrity, and impedance control to prevent issues that can arise at higher frequencies.
Power Management Solutions
Efficient power management is at the core of any high-performance design. Our team designs systems that minimize power consumption while maximizing performance, tailored to low-power or high-power applications as needed.
Wireless Communication
We integrate various wireless technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LoRa, allowing seamless communication within your hardware solution.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Testability (DFT)
We ensure our designs are optimized for easy manufacturing and testing, helping to reduce production costs and time-to-market while enhancing reliability and quality control.
Our Hardware Design Capabilities
Our electronic hardware design covers the whole journey from idea to a board you can manufacture:
- Requirements capture and architecture
- Schematic design and circuit development
- Multi-layer PCB layout, including high-speed and mixed-signal
- Component selection and BOM optimisation
- Design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) review
- EMC pre-compliance guidance
- Prototype board production
Design + Assembly Under One Roof
Because our design engineers sit in the same building as our assembly floor, a board is laid out by people who know exactly how it will be built. That shortens new product introduction (NPI) cycles: DFM feedback happens early, prototypes are assembled in-house, and design tweaks go straight back into layout without shipping work between suppliers.
Industries We Design For
Our electronic hardware design services support the sectors we already build for, including medical device, industrial electronics, IoT and automotive customers across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take a project from concept to production?
Yes. We can start at a blank-page concept and stay with it through schematic, layout, prototype and into volume assembly on the same site.
Which PCB design tools does RTR use?
Do you handle EMC pre-compliance testing?
What is the typical lead time from concept to prototype?
Have a product that needs designing, or a board that needs improving? Our electronic hardware design team in Limerick can help. Get in touch to talk through your project.
