We have used NRDS for a variety of high complexity boards including boards with 1600 Mbit/s DDR3 and  fine pitch laser vias.  Each time they have come through with flying colors in all project aspects including quality, schedule and cost.  However, what I appreciate most about NRDS is that they really take the time to listen, educate and problem solve.  This has been tremendously valuable when making the types of difficult engineering trade-offs these types of high complexity boards require.

"Hi Nina and Tom,

 I am very impressed with your work and how your team does Allegro and verifies everything with Valor.  Probably one of the best systems that I have worked with. 

So I am saying thank you for all the hard work.

Cheers,

Sam McAnulty"

If you are seeking a PCB Design firm North River Design Service should be on your list.

Extreme Networks began a relationship over 3 years ago with the craftsmen that now operate as North River Design Services. While this is a new company by name it is actually a very well established and experienced Design and Management Team. Through a history of buyouts and acquisitions they have now successfully built 3 teams (virtual companies) over the past 16 years. Now as North River they control their own destiny and we couldn’t be happier.  

Among the key attributes that have attracted and retained Extreme Networks as a faithful customer is their mastery of their tools, their ability to grasp and realize complex design objectives, and their ability to build process and specialized tools to facilitate repeatable results design after design.

North Rivers’ “Design Methodologies” and “Disciplines” yield consistent high quality results that are remarkably free of defects. They truly understand how to partner for success and function as a part of “Our” team at every level of the Engineering Design process from Concept to Production to Sustaining Engineering.  

Extreme has continually challenged them in constraint management as well as execution. Our challenges have always been meet with professionalism and eagerness to meet whatever our need. The program management and oversight remains an important key to the success we have experienced through multiple product development programs over several years. While many design services may utilize the same tools the craftsmen at North River clearly are better and more skilled “drivers”.   

Quotes are prompt and well thought through. Rates are competitive. Service is excellent and the people are a pleasure to work with. They have earned our business many times over and they haven’t stopped earning it yet. If you are looking for a few great new members of your “Remote Design Team” North River get’s my recommendation.  I just hope not too many of you catch on to a great new name in PCB Design located in the North West, North River.  Try them and you’ll be hooked.
