SEMC designs and builds physical prototypes. Our engineers do the design work, and we manage fabrication and assembly, US-based or lower-cost depending on your needs, so you get working hardware quickly.
Our core is electronics: circuit design, PCB layout, and embedded firmware. We also do the mechanical design, from custom parts and assemblies to mounts, fixtures, and enclosures, so the whole prototype comes from one team.
Hire us for one piece of a project or the whole thing.
Schematic capture through multilayer, high-speed, and mixed-signal layout.
Microcontroller through FPGA systems, including the firmware that runs them.
Custom parts, assemblies, mounts, fixtures, and enclosures, from CAD to physical prototype.
Off-the-shelf radio modules through custom RF and high-frequency circuit design.
Battery-powered designs through high-current supplies and power conversion.
Board assembly, enclosures, and small-batch runs through US-based or lower-cost fabricators.
Bring-up, debugging, and pre-compliance preparation.
Design reviews, feasibility studies, and DFM guidance.
We design boards and mechanical parts with manufacturing in mind from the start, so a prototype that works once can be built again as ten or a hundred.
We don't hand you off to a fab and disappear. We source boards, enclosures, and machined parts from US-based shops or lower-cost suppliers, depending on your program, and manage the build ourselves, so you deal with us instead of a list of vendors.
We bring the hardware up, test it against your spec, and fix what doesn't work. Most designs need a revision or two, and we plan for that from the start. You get test results and an updated build.
We work with defense, medical, research, and commercial clients, from early-stage concepts to established programs.
Hardware designed and tested for the conditions it will face in use.
Backed by hands-on instrumentation experience and regulated design processes.
Custom sensor electronics and data acquisition for research labs.
From first prototypes to production-ready designs for established manufacturers.
Senior engineering help from day one, without hiring a full team.
Extra engineering capacity when your team is stretched, plus experienced engineers to work through the hard problems with them.
A lean senior team and quick-turn fabrication mean we start sooner and iterate faster than a traditional shop.
We work across analog, digital, power, RF, embedded, and mechanical design, so we can chase a problem from the board to the enclosure without handing it off.
We scope work to what you actually need and pick parts with cost and availability in mind, so prototypes stay affordable and can move into production.
Both. Some clients need a single board laid out, a part designed, or a firmware module written. Others hand us a concept and get back a working prototype. Defined tasks get a fixed scope, and work that's still taking shape is split into milestones.
We design in-house, then pick and manage the fabrication and assembly shops for each project. If a program or contract requires domestic sourcing, we use US-based shops; otherwise we can go with lower-cost options. You work with one SEMC engineer the whole way, and we bring in specialists when the project needs them.
Yes. We'll review the existing design and documentation, find the gaps, and tell you what it will take to finish. Picking up a partial design is common, and we're comfortable with it.
Defense and government, medical devices, research labs, and commercial clients from startups to large companies. Our experience with precision instrumentation and regulated design processes is especially useful on medical and lab work.
Yes. SEMC is active in SAM.gov and registered with the Georgia Tech APEX Accelerator. We're open to contracting directly with agencies and to teaming with prime contractors. Registration details are available on request.
It depends on the project. Complexity, the standards the design has to meet, and your timeline all affect cost. We talk through those with you first, then agree on scope and price in writing before work starts.
Tell us what you're building. We'll scope it, quote it, and get you to a working prototype.
