"DesignLinx is a professional business with deep technical expertise built into their team. They provides excellent quality work at competitive costs. They have impressed me with their attention to detail, quality, and above and beyond communication. I will definitely continue to reach out to DesignLinx for future opportunities that arise.”

Manufacturer of Solid-State Power Conversion and Protection Equipment

"We weren’t sure if we had an FPGA issue or a board-level issue. We were introduced to DesignLinx and after some discussions they offered both an FPGA code review and a Schematic and Signal Integrity review. Ultimately it turned out that the signal integrity analysis caught a marginal issue. We spun the board and the problem was fixed!”
