CAD design service IACA BOX

Overview
Does your team lack electronics resources? Did a contractor deliver unsatisfactory results? Have a project idea? IACA manages your PCB and firmware project from A to Z. IPC CID+. First response within 72 hours. We intervene on new designs or project takeovers without the constraints of hiring.

Main services

• Your electronic board: From schematic to Gerber files. Architecture management, high-density multilayer routing and EMC constraints.
• Product firmware: From BSP to real-time application code in optimized bare-metal C. Bring-up with oscilloscope, integrated hardware security.
• Connected product and interface: Linux kernel, custom OS, APIs, user interface. Delivery of a complete stack (hardware to software).
• Project takeover: Audit, identification of blocking issues, corrections and restoration of deliverables.

Services and deliverables
Four distinct services. For each one a specific deliverable and a measurable result. No vague scope, no surprise billing.

• Electronic board: schematic, routing, manufacturing files (Gerber), BOM.
• Firmware and embedded: BSP, drivers, optimized application code, test reports.
• Connected product: OS and application layer, API, user interface, source code delivered.
• Project takeover: full audit, estimated recovery plan, corrections and finalization, complete delivery (BOM, documentation, test report, source code).

Recovery / intervention process

• Rapid full audit: analysis of existing files, precise diagnosis of issues and root causes.
• Quoted recovery plan: realistic schedule, fixed cost, no surprises.
• Correction and finalization: fix design errors, finalize routing, required validations.
• Complete delivery: BOM, documentation, test report, source code — everything the first contractor should have supplied.
