Outsourced Electronic Design Provides Specialist Support and Project Based Resources

Innovators, SMEs and even large OEMs may not always have the in-house design resources to meet workload demands or have the specialist expertise and design tools required for a particular project. In many cases the most efficient and cost effective response to such circumstances is to outsource the design requirement. Outsourcing a design or even part of a design can free up customer’s own resources to continue with existing projects.

LDD Technology have the knowledge and experience to take a project from concept to production-ready design and prototypes or provide an individual service including schematic design, PCB layout, FPGA design and embedded software development.

LDD offer a flexible and responsive service tailored to match individual customer requirements providing as much input into a design as is required. LDD can design to meet a detailed specification or design a ground-up solution to meet the needs of a concept with just the overall requirement being known.

Established over 25 years LDD Technology provides a range electronic design services to meet the needs of a wide range of customers from development houses to major international OEMs. Outsourcing electronic design offers OEMs control of costs and delivery time of projects and security of design over the life of a product, ensuring updates may be managed with ease and end of life to be planned.

LDD can provide high complexity designs for customers and has the experience and capability to undertake designs from a simple stand-alone boards to complex multi-board, mixed signal, multi-technology projects for harsh environments. Their goal is to become and integrated part of customers own design teams and have many such long term relationships in both commercial and defence markets.

Malcolm Locke, Managing Director of LDD Technology, comments, “Customers sometimes underestimate the complexity of a new project and find themselves running out of time or even ideas to complete a new design. Or they might come to us with just an idea which we can usually realise into an end product. We try to work with our customers in a way that means we are involved early to ensure a more elegant and better end product.”
