Custom PCB Design Services for Embedded & High-Performance Systems

From schematic to stack-up, we design printed circuit boards that power complex embedded systems.

LeafLabs supports clients through rapid prototyping, optimization, and production handoff for advanced applications in connected IoT devices, scientific instrumentation, edge computing, and connected devices.

Integrated Systems Thinking

What sets LeafLabs apart is our focus on embedded systems, not just PCBs. Our electrical designs are shaped by firmware requirements, signal processing needs, and mechanical integration constraints from day one.

We work with clients developing:

  • Edge AI and hardware accelerators

  • Scientific instruments and sensing platforms

  • Low-power connected devices

  • Robotics and real-time control systems


PCB Services

  • Schematic capture and PCB layout

  • Footprint and component library creation

  • Component selection and swaps

  • Quick turn prototyping and in-house assembly for R&D

  • Contract Manufacturer liaison

  • Design modification and optimization

  • Debugging


PCB Design Capabilities

We support the full lifecycle of custom hardware — from concept to manufacturer-ready files.

Schematics & Architecture

  • Component selection and part sourcing strategy

  • Hierarchical schematics and reusable design blocks

  • Power tree and signal architecture planning

Layout & Stack-up

  • 2-16+ layer designs

  • Impedance-controlled routing and signal integrity

  • High-speed routing and differential pair matching

Tools & Workflow

  • KiCad, Altium, Mentor Graphics

  • 3D integration with MCAD (STEP exports, constraint checking)

  • Manufacturer-ready deliverables (Gerbers, BOM, Fab & Assembly files)


Why Design Your PCBs with LeafLabs

LeafLabs brings together world-class electrical engineers, embedded software experts, and system architects to help you build the right thing, faster. Whether you're prototyping or prepping for production, we make sure your board is designed to perform.

Many LeafLabs projects include circuit boards designed in-house. You can find some of our open-source designs, such as Maple and Maple Mini, on GitHub. We pride ourselves on excellent designs, quick execution, and being a pleasure to work with.
