PCB assembly, built around your mission.
NovaArk Technologies assembles printed circuit boards for OEMs, engineering teams and growing product companies. Prototypes and production builds, engineering review and component sourcing are handled by one accountable team.
What we build
From a handful of prototype boards to recurring production orders, we assemble to your files, your revision and your quality requirements.
-
SMT assembly
Surface-mount assembly for single- and double-sided boards, built to your BOM and placement data.
-
Through-hole & mixed technology
Connectors, power components and parts that need mechanical strength, alongside surface-mount parts on the same board.
-
Prototype & NPI builds
Early builds that prove out your design and assembly process before you commit to volume.
-
Production assembly
Repeat builds to a released revision, with documentation that keeps each order consistent with the last.
-
Component sourcing
Turnkey, partial-turnkey or consigned parts, whichever fits how you manage your supply chain.
-
DFM review
A manufacturability check of your design files before the build, while changes are still inexpensive.
-
Inspection & testing
Inspection and test steps agreed with you at quote stage and recorded with your order.
Who we work with
Businesses that design electronics and need a dependable partner to build them.
OEMs
Outsource board assembly while keeping control of your specifications, revisions and acceptance criteria.
Hardware startups
Move from working prototype to first production run with a partner who explains the trade-offs along the way.
Engineering & design firms
Get your clients’ boards built and back on the bench without running an assembly operation yourself.
Established product lines
Keep proven products in production when you need a new or additional assembly source.
What working with NovaArk looks like
Good assembly comes down to preparation, communication and a clear definition of “done”. That is where we put our attention.
Your files are reviewed before work starts
Gerbers, BOM and placement data are checked against each other up front, so questions are raised before parts are ordered, not discovered on the line.
One point of contact
You deal with a person who knows your project, your revision history and your delivery dates, rather than a general inbox.
Quality defined before the build
Workmanship class, inspection points and test requirements are agreed in the quote, so you know exactly how your boards will be checked.
