When it comes to outsourcing, the first thing that people think of is to send products or parts that they can’t or don’t want to produce to other factories for OEM. In fact, driven by the increasingly fine social division of labor, modern outsourcing is not only the outsourcing of products, but also the initial design stage of products. If there is demand, there will be corresponding supply.
At present, many companies still ask hardware engineers to design PCB, and the hardware engineers have to do the work of hardware scheme/chip selection/single board debugging, etc., which is bound to greatly prolong the time of product listing. Now, with the development of high-speed digital electronic technology, the requirements for high-speed PCB design outsourcing are higher: signal integrity simulation analysis, timing analysis, signal reflow, crosstalk treatment, single-board EMC/EMI, power ground plane integrity and power ground bounce effect; Moreover, the design density of single board is increasing, and EDA software tools should be mastered. These works are connected in series, which greatly prolongs the time of product development and marketing, and also does not meet the requirements of more and more detailed specialization. In addition, it is difficult to find high-level PCB design engineers in the market at present; Moreover, even if you are recruited, you need to invest a lot of manpower and energy in personnel training. Generally, it takes at least one year to train high-level PCB design talents. And there is no guarantee that there will be no loss of relevant personnel. 1 Most regular pcb design outsourcing companies charge according to the amount of solder joints, generally 3-5RMB/PINS. This price provides invoices, contracts, confidentiality agreements, etc. 2 Generally, the fee for private work is about 2RMB/PINS, and it varies according to the different experiences of designers. For example, the fee for designers with more than 3 or 4 years will be no less than 2 yuan, while the fee for novices is relatively low, and some can even be designed for you for free. 3 For PCB production, the charges of different manufacturers are different, and the charges of low-end and high-end manufacturers are quite different. If the board is new, the average number of pins (workload) is 500 per day. If the board is changed, it depends on the amount of change, so it can only be calculated according to the project, but it can’t be summarized in one sentence.
