Turnkey Aerospace PCB Services
When developing circuit boards for the aerospace industry, high reliability is not only desirable but mandated. In contrast to most commercial development, failures on most space platforms are not repairable. And lost aerospace vehicles, such as satellites and rockets, can cost millions of dollars, not to mention the potential for loss of life on spaceships. Therefore, regulatory standards such as AS9100D ensure that your PCBA development process meets rigid quality standards that include monitoring, record-keeping and all facets of quality control.
Tempo’s San Francisco-based automated factory is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified, as well as IPC-A-610/J-STD-001 Class 3 certified. We are one of only three companies in the world to receive IPC site certification for the J-STD-001 Space/Military Addendum assembly standard. Our facility is also ITAR-registered. Tempo is not only certified to provide the highest quality but also deliver PCBAs to perform reliably for the harshest conditions in space and on other planets.

Bringing the Smart Factory to Aerospace PCB Design
Tempo’s White Box Digital Thread Manufacturing Process
At Tempo, we employ a white box manufacturing process to maximize transparency between the developer and the factory. This concept ensures that design intent and equipment capabilities synchronize, resulting in an optimized process with high yield rates and the fastest turnaround in the industry.
To consistently achieve these results, we employ a custom digital thread manufacturing (DTM) process that uses communications technology, devices and protocols to enable real-time monitoring and control throughout all stages of board build. Coupled with our stringent quality assurance (QA), the following advantages for aerospace PCBA development are realized.
- Process Control
- Real-time monitoring
- Improved collaboration between developer and CM
- Agility to respond quickly to design changes/modifications
- Cost-effective
