Electronics Design

Electronics design at Z-AXIS means turning your ideas into reality with working electronic product designs. We have a complete engineering department — with multiple electrical circuit design engineers, printed circuit board designers, mechanical designers and parts sourcing specialists. This team brings diverse skills and ideas to your project.

Our electronics circuit design expertise includes analog, digital, mixed-signal, linear and power supply design. We specialize in compact, high-reliability systems. Working under one roof with manufacturing, we excel at design for manufacturing (DFM).

We can help you secure agency certifications for the products we design. We can also review your existing electronic product designs and recommend ways to improve performance, reduce cost or eliminate manufacturing problems — whether you manufacture with us or somewhere else.
