Do you take a design from idea to working board?
Yes. A typical engagement runs from requirements through schematic, PCB layout, and first bring-up, leaving you with a tested board and documentation.

Electronics design consultancy in Durham, UK
Raptotype designs the electronics behind early-stage products — from a blank sheet to a board you can build, power up, and measure. We work end to end: requirements, schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout, and first bring-up.

What the work covers
- Requirements and architecture: power budget, interfaces, sensors, and risk areas mapped before any layout starts.
- Schematic capture and component selection with availability and lead times in mind.
- Multi-layer PCB layout for signal integrity, power, and manufacturability (DFM).
- Power design: regulators, battery and low-power, protection, and thermal considerations.
- Board bring-up, measurement, and a clear list of what was verified and what is still open.
FAQ
Common questions
Can you work to a fixed budget for a first prototype?
Usually. We scope a lean first spin that answers the riskiest questions first, so you get evidence without committing to a large programme.
