Reverse Engineering & PCB Recovery for Industrial Electronics

I help companies recover schematics, PCB data and manufacturing documentation when original design files are missing, incomplete or no longer usable.

When this service is useful

Typical situations where engineering recovery is needed.

  • No original CAD files available
  • Only PCB, Gerber files, photos or scans exist
  • Documentation is incomplete or partially lost
  • Components are obsolete (EOL)
  • Existing hardware requires redesign or technical analysis

Services

Focused engineering support for legacy hardware, undocumented systems and production recovery.

Schematic Reconstruction

Recovery of circuit logic from existing boards, Gerber data, images and technical traces.

PCB Recovery

Recreation of PCB topology, layout structure and manufacturing files suitable for further work.

Hardware Troubleshooting

Analysis of signal paths, power domains and problematic sections in existing hardware.

Redesign & Modernization

Adaptation of legacy electronics to available components and updated production requirements.

Engineering workflow

A structured process designed for technical clarity, reproducibility and production readiness.

1

Input review

Assessment of boards, Gerber files, photos, scans, BOM fragments and available notes.

2

Functional analysis

Identification of logic blocks, signal paths, power domains and critical interfaces.

3

Reconstruction

Recovery of schematics, interconnections, PCB topology and missing design logic.

4

Verification

Engineering cross-check and hardware-level validation where required by project scope.

5

Delivery

Preparation of production-ready schematics, PCB data, BOM and supporting notes.

Typical project scenarios

Examples of situations where reverse engineering and PCB recovery provide practical value.

Undocumented hardware

Only the board remains

Existing PCB with missing design files. Goal: recover schematics, PCB data and manufacturing documentation.

Legacy production

EOL components block manufacturing

Critical parts are obsolete. Goal: identify replacements, redesign affected sections and restore production viability.

Technical recovery

Existing hardware behaves unstably

Problematic circuit sections require technical analysis, troubleshooting and design correction.
