What Tmi Systems Ltd. does

TMI Systems Ltd. is a privately-held Israeli PCB design bureau founded in 1986, headquartered at Habarzel 31, Ramat Hachayal in Tel Aviv. The firm specializes in schematic-to-Gerber PCB layout across the full complexity spectrum, from simple prototypes through 24+ layer HDI, rigid-flex, and backplane designs, with minimum component pitch down to 0.3 mm BGA. Its technical scope also covers signal and power integrity simulation for high-speed interfaces (DDR4/5, PCIe Gen 4/5, USB 3/4, Ethernet, SerDes, RF), IPC-7351 compliant library creation and cross-EDA migration, legacy board support, and turnkey manufacturing coordination through vetted fabrication partners in Europe, the US, and Asia.

The company operates as a senior-designer-led services practice: work is delivered in native EDA formats across Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, Mentor Xpedition, PADS, Boardstation, and PCAD 2006, with fixed-fee billing for scoped projects and hourly billing for evolving work, and no junior-handoff or account-manager layer. Its customer base of 95+ active accounts spans aerospace and defense primes, medical OEMs, telecom equipment makers, fabless silicon teams, industrial/IoT, consumer electronics, automotive, and energy/power customers, with primary emphasis on aerospace/defense and medical. Marketing is conducted through a corporate website and direct inquiry channels handled by named contacts Etti Tzfoni (Marketing & Sales) and David Neter (R&D Solutions).

Commercially, TMI derives revenue from project-based professional services (layout, SI/PI, library management, consultancy) and from markup/coordination fees on third-party manufacturing and assembly. The firm claims ISO-compliant workflow processes appropriate for regulated industries, holds no disclosed external funding, and operates with a small team of 14 employees, indicating a tightly-held, founder/management-owned services business.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• PCB Layout Design End-to-end PCB layout design from schematic to Gerber, covering rigid, flex, and rigid-flex boards with HDI, backplane, and heatsink capabilities for 2 to 24+ layer designs. Targeted at hardware engineering teams in aerospace, defense, medical, telecom, semiconductor, industrial, consumer, automotive, and energy sectors.
• Signal & Power Integrity Simulation Simulation-driven signal and power integrity analysis for DDR4/5, PCIe Gen 4/5, USB, Ethernet, SerDes, and RF interfaces, including controlled impedance, length matching, crosstalk analysis, and thermal optimization. Used by hardware teams that must verify electrical margin before fabrication.
• Library Creation & Management IPC-7351 compliant footprint creation, schematic symbol standardization, and 3D STEP model generation with cross-tool library migration and ongoing version-controlled maintenance for hardware teams that require standardized, CAM-ready libraries.
• Turnkey Manufacturing & Assembly Full production services from rigid multilayer through 24+ layer HDI, including flex and rigid-flex constructions, SMT/mixed-technology assembly, testing, AOI/X-ray inspection, and global logistics coordinated through vetted fab partners.
• Rapid Prototyping Quick-turn PCB layout service with same-day starts and revision-friendly workflows supporting parallel simulation and design-for-manufacture validation for engineers who need fast iteration cycles.
• Design Consultancy Pre-design reviews, constraint strategy, stack-up definition, and DFM/DFA/DFT feedback delivered before layout begins, targeted at hardware teams that need architectural guidance before committing to a board design.
• Format Migration Conversion of schematics, libraries, and PCB databases between Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, Mentor Xpedition, and PADS formats, used by hardware teams transitioning EDA platforms.
• Legacy Board Support Sustaining engineering services for mature products on PCAD 2006, Boardstation, and older Allegro revisions, used by companies that must maintain long-life hardware programs.

Emerging players

• PCBWay: China-based low-cost PCB prototyping, fabrication, and assembly service with global reach. Competes with TMI on the prototyping/turnkey manufacturing handoff step but does not offer the senior-engineer-led design services that anchor TMI's value proposition.
• MacroFab: Digital marketplace for PCB fabrication and assembly with software-driven quoting and supply chain orchestration. Comparable to the manufacturing-handoff arm of TMI's offering; represents a more scalable, software-led alternative to traditional bureaus.
• Screaming Circuits: US-based prototype and low-volume PCB assembly provider serving engineers and small OEMs. Overlaps with TMI's prototyping and turnkey assembly handoff at the project-level, though Screaming Circuits is more assembly-led than design-led.
• Sunstone Circuits: US PCB prototyping and small-volume fabrication provider with online quoting and assembly. Overlaps with the manufacturing-handoff side of TMI's offering and competes for engineering customers needing quick-turn boards.

Direct peers

• Z-AXIS Design: US PCB design and contract engineering bureau serving industrial, medical, and aerospace customers. Closely comparable in vertical mix, regulated-industry focus, and senior-designer-led project execution.
• Beta Layout: European PCB design, prototyping, and small-batch assembly service targeting engineers and OEMs. Comparable to TMI's turnkey design-to-manufacturing handoff and SME customer base, with overlapping project-based revenue mix.
• Nine Dot Connects: US-based PCB design services and EDA consultancy offering layout, library, and signal integrity work for OEMs. Most directly comparable peer: similar specialty-bureau positioning, multi-tool EDA expertise, and project-based professional services model.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics): EDA vendor behind the Xpedition and PADS PCB tool suites that TMI supports. Indirect competitor via its own design services, training, and AI-augmented layout tools; also a tool-supply partner for the bureau.
• Cadence Design Systems: Leading EDA software vendor whose Allegro platform is TMI's primary tool. Cadence competes indirectly by offering in-house layout training, reference flows, and — increasingly — automated/AI-assisted routing that could reduce demand for specialist bureaus.
• Altium (Renesas Electronics): Owner of the Altium Designer PCB CAD platform used by TMI. Altium bundles its own design services and educational ecosystem, and its 2023 acquisition by Renesas signals deeper electronics convergence that could shape the PCB design services market.
