About the Engineering Office
The engineering office for electronics development F.Jürgen Gensicke in Aachen offers contract- and project-based electronics development from prototype to series device. The portfolio includes analog and digital circuit design, PCB design and layout with Altium Designer including 3D modeling, redesigns and re-engineering of existing assemblies, FPGA development with VHDL on Altera/Intel and Xilinx FPGAs, and microprocessor development based on Microchip PIC controllers. Complementary services include consulting, design reviews of schematics and layout, expert appraisals, EMC consulting and documentation. Production of assemblies in the desired quantity is handled by a partner electronics manufacturer in Aachen ("made in NRW"). Projects are executed according to IPC standards and under a quality management system per DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Customers come from industries such as industrial electronics, plant monitoring, precision metrology, automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, military communications technology, and consumer and entertainment electronics in Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria.
