Qualifications / Experience

All our design engineers are fully trained to recognised IPC CID+ standards for circuit and PCB design.

Performance standards:

DSL has a wealth of experience in all areas of Embedded, Industrial and Electronic design, this includes specific capabilities in Design For eXcellence (DFX), Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Assembly (DFA).

DSL’s strength, achieved via 28 years of multi-vertical market designs, translates to an eagerness and readiness to embrace new technologies, without necessitating a steep learning curve.
