Architecture and interface review
Examine the reasoning behind selected interfaces, interconnect arrangements and key design constraints against the stated requirements.
03 / INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Independent design audit.
Before you commit.
An independent electronic design audit gives a product or engineering team an outside view of its assumptions, risks and next decisions. ASTRX provides a technical sounding board at the electronic, interconnect and high-speed digital design level.
Discuss an independent audit ↗THE ENGINEERING QUESTION
When a different engineering perspective can change the next decision
Design teams make decisions with incomplete information and evolving requirements. A focused external review can challenge an assumption, identify an overlooked interface risk or distinguish an evidence gap from a confirmed problem. The aim is identifying the next steps for the team, with clear priorities.
DESIGN ASSURANCE EXPERIENCE
An independent challenge.
A stronger design decision.
Direct experience includes engineering within ISO 13485 quality-management environments, certified product design, and supporting CE certification and conformity-assessment activities.
This perspective brings attention to requirements, documented design decisions, verification evidence and change traceability. An independent review helps teams identify technical gaps and prioritise the evidence or corrective work needed before a design is released.
AGREE ON SCOPE / ALIGNED AROUND YOUR DESIGN
What we can investigate.
SI/PI and layout assumptions
Review signal and power integrity considerations, stack-up and return-path assumptions, routing guidance and the supporting analysis.
Technical sounding board
Work through trade-offs with the team, challenge unresolved questions and agree which issues require simulation, measurement or justify a design change.
GET STARTED
Useful inputs.
- The design stage, intended decision and review boundaries
- Relevant requirements and available design documentation
- Existing analysis, known risks and unresolved questions
- The timing of layout release, procurement or production decisions
THE HANDOVER
Usable outputs.
- A focused review with a clear statement of coverage
- Findings separated into evidence, assumptions and open questions
- Prioritised risks and recommended follow-up actions
- A practical handover for the responsible engineering team
