01
EV platforms introduce additional complexity—fast-switching SiC inverters, high-current HV buses, dense BMS monitoring, and mixed-signal electronics that must survive a decade (or more) of thermal cycling. |
|
|
02
Automotive electronics operate under conditions that normal consumer hardware will never experience —heat, cold, vibration, high voltage, electrical transients, long duty cycles, and strict safety expectations.

The exact engineering checks we perform for each project include:
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
ISO 7637-2 transient & load-dump vulnerability |
Reviewing input protection (TVS), filtering, grounding, and return paths |
Prevents resets, latent damage, and field failures during vehicle transients |
|
HV isolation gaps and routing in compact layouts |
Validating creepage/clearance, slots/keepouts, coating strategy, CTI/material limits |
Reduces arcing risk and supports functional safety and HV compliance |
|
Partial discharge risk in HV nodes and edges |
Flagging sharp copper edges, void-prone structures, spacing at HV transitions |
Avoids insulation degradation that shows up after thermal cycling |
|
Thermal hotspots in high-current paths (inverters, DC-DC, busbars) |
Assessing copper weight, current density, via stitching, heat spreading and sinking paths |
Prevents overheating, delamination, and accelerated aging |
|
EMI coupling from power stages into sensing/communication |
Calling out noisy return paths, switching loops, partitioning, and shielding opportunities |
Improves CISPR 25 margin and reduces intermittent performance issues |
|
Vibration-driven fatigue at connectors and heavy components |
Stress-checking anchor points, pad/trace reinforcement, teardrops, stiffeners, and stackup rigidity |
Reduces cracked joints and intermittent opens under vibration profiles |
|
Corrosion susceptibility in harsh environments (salt fog, moisture) |
Reviewing surface finish, edge plating needs, conformal coating coverage, and leakage paths |
Prevents leakage, dendrites, and long-term reliability drift |
|
SI integrity on automotive high-speed links (CAN FD / Ethernet) |
Reviewing impedance targets, pair routing, reference continuity, skew, and stubs |
Avoids late-stage link instability and EMI surprises |
