What We Do

End-to-end engineering consulting from strategy through proof-of-concept delivery.

System Engineering

Block-diagram-level requirements capture and systems decomposition, aligned to your business goals and program milestones.

PCB Design

RF and electrical engineering from schematic capture through simulation — power integrity, signal integrity, and circuit-level analysis.

PCB Layout

World-class component placement and routing, with hands-on experience manufacturing virtually every type of PCB — rigid, flex, HDI, and RF.

Hardware Bringup

Systematic debugging and validation of the most complex hardware systems, from first power-on through full functional verification.

Embedded Software

Digital design and firmware development for embedded systems — bare-metal, RTOS, and hardware-software co-design.

Documentation & Team Leadership

Thorough documentation of hardware milestones, design decisions, and test results — paired with hands-on technical team mentorship.

Why Teams Choose JDBC

We bring the rigor of senior hardware engineering leadership for your early proof of concepts.

Correct Architecture From Beginning

The right system or PCB design from the beginning can dramatically reduce the total scope of a project.

Constantly Remove Complexity

Its easy for an engineer to throw in a new processor, but how often do you remove one?

Don't Shy Away From Hard Designs

If its worth doing, its hard.

Integrated Solutions Can Often Be Less Work

Using someone's prebaked solution can seem attractive, but it often just shifts the complexity from first principles to someone's poor implementation.
