PCB Design
Stilwell Baker @ Your Site
Benefit of Co-Located Teams
For some projects (or parts of projects) it may be advantageous to co-locate
Stilwell Baker’s design resources with your engineering team. Your
engineer may value sitting next to our designer to work collaboratively on
his design. While our designer is located on your site, you still get the
deep bench of Stilwell Baker’s Design Center for additional tasking
on your project as needed.
