Freedom CAD specializes in high-performance PCB physical design (layout) while utilizing high-end software programs complemented by leading edge hardware.  Our capabilities encompass the full design flow from start to finish including schematic capture, library development, data base construction and verification, signal integrity, EMI checking and verification complementing the PCB layout.

PCB DesignDesigners

With over 1,000 years of combined design experience, our design team has the ability to focus their attention on detailed and quality to support projects of any size and complexity. We appreciate the importance of customer service in this ever-changing environment and strive to become a value added and seamless extension to your engineering team. Our experience in large complex, rules driven designs allows us to support the engineers in translating their electrical schematics into a physical board layout that can be fabricated, assembled, and tested. Our designers embrace the challenge!
