Integrated PCB, Firmware, and IoT Engineering for Complex, Mission-Critical Products
DE Design Works helps engineering teams advance complex electronic product development by increasing bandwidth, reducing risk, and delivering predictable execution. We support blue-chip product programs where reliability, compliance, and long-term performance matter.
Our US-based team of senior engineers provides custom PCB hardware design, software and firmware development, and IoT/connected-device expertise under one roof. By aligning hardware, firmware, and system architecture early, we help teams move from concept through production, including new or specialized technology integrations, with greater clarity and confidence.
Since 2002, DE has partnered with industrial, medical, military, and other mission-critical product teams to solve complex engineering challenges and keep programs moving forward.
If you need an experienced engineering team to support your project, DE Design Works will help move it forward.

Where are you in the Product Development Funnel?
While there are as many product development methodologies as there are engineering design services in the world, at DE Design Works we use a simple product development funnel in our proposal process to help break your project into smaller, definable steps. The following infographic provides a helpful overview of a typical new product development. Read more
PCB Material Shortages: What Electronics Teams Need to Know
FR-4 and PCB Material Shortages Are Here. What That Means for Your Program. We’ve been watching this develop for a few months now, and it’s time to say it plainly: the FR-4 and copper-clad laminate shortage is real; it’s hitting…
4 Key Trends for Electronics Sensor Technology
Where sensor technology is actually heading I just got back from presenting at the Sensors Converge in Silicon Valley, and I’ll be honest — this was one of the more energizing conferences I’ve attended in a while. Not because of…
When Engineering Custom PCB Design Is the Right Choice in Electronic Products
We’ve had a lot of conversations with potential new customers where the PCB decision gets treated like a procurement question. Someone on the team identifies a module or development board that gets the system running. It works. It proves…
