From First Layout to Production-Ready Boards

Overview

Pro-Active Engineering builds PCB assemblies for aerospace, defense, medical and industrial programs across two U.S. facilities. Design review, DFM, quick-turn prototyping and full SMT and through-hole production happen in-house, with full traceability and serialization on every build.

 

Engineers get a manufacturing partner in the room for the first design review. Purchasing managers get one vendor accountable for design, prototyping and production, instead of managing three. Pro-Active’s PCBA capabilities are built for high-complexity programs that need real engineering attention.

PCB Assembly Capabilities

Design, prototyping, and production under one accountable workflow.

  • PCB Design & Engineering

    PCB layout, embedded control, and mechanical design, with DFM built in from day one, plus firmware and test-system development.

  • Quick-Turn Prototyping

    Production-intent builds through our in-house Speed Shop, in as little as 2 to 5 days, using the same process discipline as full production.

  • SMT & Through-Hole Assembly

    Runs from small prototype batches to high-volume production, with surface mount down to 01005 and 100% automated optical inspection.

  • Sourcing & BOM Management

    Component sourcing and BOM conditioning, with supply chain risk mitigation built into every program.

  • Material Expertise

    High-quality materials designed for durability and optimal performance.

  • Quality Assurance & Testing

    Strict testing processes to ensure reliability and compliance.

  • Scalable Production

    Flexible manufacturing from prototyping to high-volume production.

Why Pro-Active for PCB Assembly

  • Engineering First

    DFM review, process engineering and first-article qualification happen before your build starts.

  • One Accountable Team

    Design, prototyping and production run through a single point of contact instead of three separate vendor.

  • Built for Complexity

    Real engineering attention for high-complexity programs, not the standardized runs that make up most contract manufacturing

  • Certified Quality

    Three decades of PCB design and manufacturing experience across our three facilities. ISO 9001:2015, JCP certified and ITAR registered, built to IPC-A-610, J-STD-001 and IPC-7711/7712 standards including Space Addendum.
