Electronics Product Testing & PCB Programming Services

Discover GB Electronics' expert programming and testing services, ensuring your products are market-ready with unparalleled quality and reliability.

At GB Electronics, our electronics product testing and firmware programming service ensures every assembled product is validated, configured, and ready to perform from the moment it leaves our facility. Based in West Sussex, we support OEMs and technology firms in industrial automation, medical, defence, and IoT sectors.

Our experienced team handles firmware programming, product configuration, and functional validation, supported by bespoke test jigs, automated programming stations, and ISO 9001-certified QA protocols.

We offer:

  • Full or part assembly, programming, and electronics product testing
  • In-house design of test jigs and programming fixtures
  • Support for complex, multi-board systems
  • Comprehensive, traceable test procedures
  • Fully configured, deployment-ready products

Why Choose GB Electronics for Electronics Testing & Programming?

With decades of experience in embedded systems, our team delivers programming and test workflows tailored to your product's architecture, communication protocols, and market requirements. We support a wide range of interfaces, including JTAG, USB, SWD, and UART, as well as firmware formats such as HEX, BIN, and ELF.

Our test environments simulate real-world usage, with pass/fail thresholds tailored to your specific requirements. Testing is logged and traceable, helping meet regulatory demands in high-reliability sectors. By embedding QA into production, we reduce field failures, speed up time to market, and enhance consistency.

Programming, Testing & Production—Fully Integrated

Programming and testing are embedded within our contract manufacturing process, not bolted on after the fact. Whether we're building your product from the ground up or testing client-supplied PCBs, our workflow ensures consistent quality from prototype to final delivery.

We collaborate with your engineering team to align on firmware loading, product setup, and system-level testing. Our structured approach accelerates delivery timelines and reduces the risk of errors, especially important for products in regulated or safety-critical environments.

From Prototype to Production

During early-stage development, we provide adaptable setups for rapid iteration and test validation. As your product scales, we develop dedicated jigs, automated test routines, and data capture systems that ensure production consistency and traceability.

We support seamless scaling from single units to high-volume runs—all tested and documented under our ISO 9001-certified QA system.

Embedded Firmware Programming

We integrate directly into your embedded architecture, offering both standalone firmware programming and full embedded development support. Services include:

  • Single or multi-stage firmware flashing
  • EEPROM/memory configuration
  • Serial number injection and calibration data
  • Interface support: JTAG, ISP, USB, SWD, UART
  • Post-flash validation and boot checks

All programming is verified before test and release, ensuring zero-configuration delivery.

Quality Assurance & Functional Testing

Our custom test jigs validate digital/analogue I/O, sensor data, displays, and power systems in real-world conditions. We log every result, ensuring full traceability for audits, compliance, and support.

Automated pass/fail routines streamline inspection and eliminate operator variability. Every test follows a defined, documented process, tailored to your product's unique needs.
