What I Offer

Services built on
real experience.

Every engagement is handled personally by Chris Villareale — no subcontractors, no junior staff. Just focused, expert work from someone who has done it hands-on.

01
Manufacturing

PCBA / SMT Consulting

Deep process expertise across the full SMT line — from incoming materials and stencil printing through reflow, inspection, and final test. Applicable to new line setup, yield improvement, and production readiness reviews.

Experienced with high-mix/low-volume avionics and defense assemblies as well as high-volume consumer electronics environments.

Request a Consultation →
  • SMT line audit and process gap analysis — incoming materials, printer setup, placement, and reflow profiling
  • Stencil design review including aperture sizing, area ratio analysis, and paste volume optimization
  • Reflow profile development and thermal characterization for complex assemblies and mixed-alloy scenarios
  • Fuji NXT pick-and-place programming, feeder management, and placement accuracy verification
  • IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria review and operator/inspector training support
  • Production SOP development — written to your workflow, not a generic template
  • First article inspection support and process sign-off documentation

Typical Deliverables

  • Written process audit report with prioritized findings
  • Reflow profile documentation
  • Stencil aperture recommendation report
  • Custom production SOPs
  • IPC-A-610 checklist tailored to your assembly
02
Design Review

DFM Review

Manufacturability problems caught before fab are free. Caught during production, they're expensive. Caught in the field, they're catastrophic. A thorough DFM review is the best insurance you can buy.

Gerber, ODB++, and board layout review with a focus on real-world SMT process constraints — not just automated rule-check output.

Submit Files for Review →
  • Gerber and ODB++ file review for land pattern, courtyard, and clearance issues
  • Stencil aperture analysis — area ratio, paste release, and bridging risk assessment
  • Component placement review for solderability, rework access, and thermal shadowing
  • X-ray and AXI inspection planning — identifying areas requiring cross-sectional or 3D inspection coverage
  • Conformal coating and underfill compatibility review
  • Via-in-pad, BGA escape routing, and buried/blind via assessment
  • Board panelization and depaneling review for warpage and stress management

Typical Deliverables

  • Annotated DFM report with flagged issues and recommended fixes
  • Risk-tiered finding summary (critical / major / minor)
  • Stencil aperture modification recommendations
  • Inspection coverage plan

Digital

Website Design

Custom web experiences built from scratch — not Wix templates. Fast, modern, and deployed on professional infrastructure. Designed for engineering firms, small businesses, and startups that want to look as credible as they are.

Built with the same precision as a well-designed PCB — every element intentional, nothing extraneous.
