Mixed-signal design
Converter front ends, signal conditioning, precision references and clocking, with grounding and partitioning that keep noise where it belongs.
INDEPENDENT ELECTRONICS DESIGN CONSULTANCY
Circuit cards designed to work first time and stand up to audit.
Analogue, mixed-signal and high-speed digital board design from an engineer with 10+ years at Tier 1 defence primes. Aerospace-grade rigour for any sector.

SERVICES
From schematic to qualified hardware
High-speed digital design
FPGA and processor boards with DDR, PCIe and Ethernet. Stack-ups, impedance control and signal and power integrity, worked through before the first spin.
Analogue & power
Low-noise analogue, filters, power supplies and distribution, de-rated and worst-case analysed.
Design reviews
An independent pair of eyes on your schematic and layout before you commit to fabrication. Cheaper than a re-spin.
Fault investigation
Noisy, intermittent or failing hardware traced to root cause, with a fix you can document.
Contract engineering
Join your team for a programme phase, outside IR35, on-site or remote.
WHY RAYSON
Defence discipline, without the defence overhead
Rigour that travels
Defence programmes demand traceable requirements, reviews and documentation. You get the same discipline on an industrial controller or a medical device.
A right-first-time approach
Most board problems are designed in at schematic stage, so that’s where my reviews and analysis focus: finding issues on paper, not at bring-up.
Straight answers
Clear scope, honest estimates, and a fixed price where the scope allows it.

ABOUT
Hi, I'm Jack.
I'm an electronics engineer with a First Class MEng from the University of York. I've spent more than ten years designing circuit cards for Tier 1 defence primes: mixed-signal and high-speed boards for systems where failure isn't an option.
I set up Rayson Electronics to bring that experience to more teams, from established primes to start-ups building their first product. I'm based in County Durham and work across the UK.
Ways to work together
Contract design
On-site, hybrid or remote, outside IR35, joining your team for a programme phase.
Fixed-scope packages
A defined board, circuit block or analysis delivered to an agreed spec and price.
Design reviews
Independent schematic and layout review before you commit to fabrication.
Investigation
Root-cause analysis of failing, noisy or unreliable hardware.
