NPI PROGRAM

How we run quick-turn builds

Reserved NPI lines, BOM kitting, and DFM sign-off ensure prototypes are built correctly even on 48–72 h schedules.

DFM & kit readiness

Gerber/ODB++ ingest, stack-up/impedance checks, kit validation, and risk reviews within 24 h.

Dedicated SMT lines

Expedited SMT/Selective soldering with inline SPC, AOI, and NPI engineers on the floor.

Proof packages

AOI/SPI reports, photos, trace labels, and action logs delivered with the build.

NPI quick-turn SMT line

PLAYBOOK

NPI launch workflow

Clear gates keep every revision aligned with the data your ramp team needs later.

1

Submit package

Gerber/ODB++, BOM, XY, test intent, risk notes.

2

DFX + quote

24-hour feedback covering stackup, panel, stencil, access, and AVL health.

3

Build & inspect

Dedicated NPI lanes run SPI/AOI/X-ray/FAI with ECO-aware changeovers.

4

Test & program

Flying probe or ICT/FCT plus firmware loading and boundary-scan.

5

Pilot handoff

Run-at-rate option with golden samples, travelers, and FPY/FAI data.

QUICK-TURN SNAPSHOTS

48–72 h prototype program

Three pillars keep NPI builds fast and visible.

DFM and kit readiness

Parallel DFM + kit prep

DFM reviews, PFMEA/control plan, and kit validation run the moment data lands so we release SMT in <24 h.
