Andak Consulting

What Andak Consulting does

Andak Consulting SRL is a privately held Romanian electronics engineering services and EDA software reseller founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bucharest. The company positions itself as a turnkey engineering solutions provider, delivering hardware design, PCB design, mechanical design, CAD scripting, and library services to automotive, semiconductor, and industrial customers. Its core technology is built around Cadence OrCAD EDA tooling, augmented by proprietary TCL and SKILL scripting capabilities for workflow automation and customization. Technical scope includes analog/digital circuit design, RF systems up to 77 GHz, DDR5, SerDes, 0.4mm pitch BGAs, and advanced PCB stack-ups.

The company's business model combines three revenue streams. First, as an authorized Cadence OrCAD reseller, Andak distributes the OrCAD X product line (Standard, Professional, Professional Plus), OrCAD Capture with CIS, OrCAD PCB SI for signal integrity, OrCAD Sigrity ERC, and PSpice A/D on a one-time license basis. Second, it sells project-based engineering services spanning the full electronics workflow, from schematic capture through mechanical validation, to enterprise clients in automotive, semiconductor, and industrial sectors. Third, it sells proprietary hardware, notably the GadgetSci MCA, an open-source 4,096-channel multichannel signal analyzer for spectroscopy applications distributed via Crowd Supply under CERN OHL and MIT licenses. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; software is sold with SKU codes and services are quoted on a project basis through the [email protected] contact channel. The go-to-market is a hybrid of channel partnership (Cadence reseller) and direct engineering services sales supported by a content-led website and LinkedIn presence.

Direct peers

• EMA Design Automation: Authorized Cadence channel partner offering OrCAD and broader EDA tools alongside training, design services, and library/part data solutions. Closest direct analog to Andak's combined software-resale + engineering-services model, though operating at a larger US-centric scale.
• FlowCAD: European authorized Cadence OrCAD reseller providing EDA software, training, and technical support to electronics design customers. Highly comparable to Andak in product focus (OrCAD channel partnership) and geographic orientation (DACH/European markets).
• Triad EDA: Cadence OrCAD reseller providing PCB design software, training, and design services. Mirrors Andak's channel-partner-plus-services positioning in the North American market.
• Accelerated Designs: Custom symbol and footprint library/IP provider for PCB design tools, overlapping Andak's library services and CIS administration offerings within the EDA ecosystem.
• Novedge: Authorized reseller for multiple design software brands including EDA and CAD tools. Comparable to Andak in the software-resale layer, though with a broader multi-vendor portfolio rather than a Cadence-exclusive focus.
• Inertia Technology Group: European electronics design services firm providing PCB design, FPGA development, and embedded systems work. Comparable to Andak's engineering services line with similar customer verticals (industrial, automotive, medical).

Broad incumbents

• Cadence Design Systems: Owner of the OrCAD product line that Andak resells. As the principal EDA vendor, Cadence is both Andak's strategic partner and the upstream party whose commercial decisions most directly shape Andak's economics.
• Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics): Major EDA vendor offering competing PCB design suites (PADS, Xpedition). Represents the alternative technology stack to OrCAD that any electronics engineering customer might choose instead.
• Altium (a Renesas company): EDA software vendor offering Altium Designer for PCB design. Competes with OrCAD for the same electronics design end-customer wallet, particularly among smaller teams and independent designers.

Emerging players

• Softeq: Full-stack engineering services firm offering hardware design, firmware, and embedded systems. Overlaps with Andak's hardware design and embedded electronics services, but at a much larger scale and broader technology scope.
