PCB development
Developing a PCB requires control over the entire process. Technical choices during the design phase directly influence performance, manufacturability, and future production. SST Hardware develops custom printed circuit boards entirely in-house, with short lines of communication between hardware, software, and engineering.

From idea to PCB design
Successful PCB development begins with a solid technical foundation. During the first phase, we map out the functional requirements of the product and determine which components, connections, and specifications are needed. In doing so, we look not only at performance but also at space utilization, heat generation, and the future scalability of the design.
Because hardware and software work closely together within SST Hardware, immediate alignment is established between electronics and functionality. This prevents delays during later development phases.
PCB development entirely in-house
SST Hardware develops and manufactures electronics entirely in-house from Enschede. This keeps the entire development process clear and allows changes to be processed quickly. Engineers, software developers, and product specialists work together on a single project, ensuring that technical choices are directly aligned with the application and production requirements.
This working method makes it possible to switch gears faster and offers more control over quality, planning, and documentation.
Routing and technical optimization
During development, routing plays an important role in the performance of the printed circuit board. Component placement, signal routing, and layer structure determine how stable and efficient a PCB functions. Therefore, we take signal integrity, heat dissipation, and electromagnetic compatibility into account during the design phase.
In addition to technical performance, we also look at the manufacturability of the design. By taking production and assembly into account early on, we prevent unnecessary adjustments at a later stage of the process.
Prototype and validation
Before a design proceeds to series production, we develop prototypes to thoroughly check the design. During this phase, we test the operation of the printed circuit board and implement optimizations where necessary. In this way, a stable basis is created for further production.
By validating prototypes early in the process, you reduce the risk of errors during assembly and final testing. Additionally, full traceability of components and revisions is maintained throughout the process.
From PCB development to production
Upon completion of the development phase, the design can be immediately passed on to production. Because development and production take place at the same location within SST Hardware, knowledge of the project is retained during the transition to assembly and series production. This allows designs to be scaled up more efficiently, and quality and control are maintained throughout the entire process.
Transparency during the development process
During PCB development, you want to maintain insight into the technical choices, planning, and costs. That is why SST Hardware works with clear communication and complete transparency regarding the development process. Agreements regarding IP transfer and documentation are also clearly established in advance.
