What Technical Design Service, LLC does

Technical Design Service, LLC is a privately held, Endicott, New York-based professional services firm that has operated continuously since 2006, delivering outsourced electronic and mechanical design support to electronics manufacturers and patent applicants. The firm's core electronic design offering spans multilayer and rigid flex circuit design, chip carrier layouts including BGA and Flip Chip configurations, design-for-manufacturability 'flexizing' and clean-up, panelization, and creation of gerber, drill, and profile data, with bidirectional Gerber-to-CAD conversion capability. Supporting services include mechanical drafting to ASME Y14.5M standards and paper-to-CAD conversions, patent drawing preparation compliant with USPTO 37 C.F.R. 1.84 (utility and design patents) delivered as PDF with optional JPEG/BMP/DXF formats, and a Data Format Services line accepting and producing AutoCAD DWG, DXF, Gerber RS 274-X / RS 274-D, IPC-D-356 netlists, PDF, and hard-copy plots via email, fax, or mail. The firm is positioned as a flexible, peak-load resource alternative to in-house design staff, citing 15 years of combined electronic and mechanical design experience.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and entirely direct: customers initiate engagement via quote requests submitted through the company website, email ([email protected]), or phone. Pricing is custom and project-based with no publicly disclosed rate cards, retainers, or subscription tiers, and billing is pay-as-you-go. Distribution is domestic U.S. only, with no channel partners, resellers, or international footprint disclosed. Marketing presence is limited to a static company website; there are no social media profiles, no recorded funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent entity, no partnerships or alliances, and no disclosed customer logos, certifications, or regulatory actions in the source data. Operations are run from a single headquarters at 1635 Union Center Highway, Endicott, NY, with a stated employee count of 1–10. The business model is therefore that of a small, niche design-outsourcing micro-firm monetizing specialized technical labor on a project basis.

Products and services

• Electronic Design Services Comprehensive electronic design services for electronics manufacturers, including multilayer and rigid flex circuit design, chip carrier design (BGA and Flip Chip), 'flexizing' and 'clean-up' of designs for manufacturability, updates and modifications to existing designs, panelization of circuits for manufacturing, creation of gerber/drill/profile data, Gerber-to-CAD conversion, schematics and netlists, stiffener and related hardware design, and manufacturing/fabrication/assembly drawings.
• Mechanical Design Services Mechanical design and drafting services including dimensioning and tolerancing to ASME Y14.5M standards (or customer-specified standards), design proposals, modification of existing designs and drawings, and conversion of paper drawings to CAD. Targeted at electronics manufacturers that need accompanying mechanical documentation to complete their design projects.
• Patent Drawing Services Patent drawing services for inventors and companies preparing patent filings, including utility patent drawings and design patent drawings prepared in accordance with USPTO Standards for Drawings under 37 C.F.R. 1.84. Drawings are delivered in PDF softcopy format, with additional formats (JPEG, BMP, DXF) available upon request, and hard copy drawings on DIN A4 or 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
• Data Format Services Data conversion and format services accepting customer drawings and design data in AutoCAD DWG, DXF, and Gerber RS-274-X formats, and netlists in IPC-D-356. Outputs include Gerber (RS-274-X or RS-274-D), AutoCAD DWG, DXF, PDF, and hard copy plots (sizes A–E). Data is transmitted via email as zipped attachments, fax, or mailed hard copy plots.
