Common Problems I Help Solve

Board powers up but won't boot
Random resets or unstable behavior
Works on the bench but fails under load
Intermittent issues that are hard to reproduce
I2C / SPI / UART communication problems
New prototypes that need safe bring-up
Field returns with no obvious failure mode
Boards that need repeatable testing across units
Noise or interference causing unexpected behavior
NPI support when your team is stretched thin

Lab Instrumentation

A fully equipped investigation and validation lab. Not a soldering table.

Measurement: 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope
Measurement: Dual logic analyzers
Measurement: True RMS digital multimeter
Measurement: Thermal imaging camera
Measurement: Spectrum analyzer with near-field probes
Measurement: Data acquisition / switch unit
Power: Dual bench power supplies
Power: Programmable DC load
Power: Variable autotransformer (Variac)
Debug: J-Link debugger
Rework: Hot air rework station
Rework: Precision soldering station
Fabrication: FDM 3D printer
Fabrication: CAD software

Signal Capture Examples

The same approach on every project: capture the signals, correlate behavior, remove the guesswork.

Thermal camera image showing 104.1 degree hot spot on PCB during failure analysis
Thermal scan identifying a 152.8°C hot spot on a board with no visible failure — component identified, root cause confirmed
Close-up of burnt component identified during visual inspection
Burnt component identified during visual inspection — part of a multi-step failure analysis including thermal imaging and signal capture
Oscilloscope capture showing hall sensor input and speaker output timing
Hall sensor input vs speaker output — measured system response delay ≈ 976 ms
SPI communication capture showing SCK, MOSI, CS, and DC signals
SPI display communication — SCK, MOSI, CS, DC signals during display update (~400 µs)

How It Works

01

Ship the Hardware

Send the hardware and relevant background info. Schematics, complaint description, or test procedure depending on the job.

02

We Do the Work

Hands-on bench work gets done. No onboarding, no headcount, no one to manage.

03

Results Come Back

Clear documentation, photos, and a path forward. Typical turnaround 1–3 business days.

Common Questions

Do you work with companies outside your area?

Yes. J-Tech LabWorks operates on a ship-in model and works with engineering teams nationwide. You ship hardware and documentation, we do the work, and results come back fast.

How does the ship-in model work?

You ship the hardware along with relevant documentation — schematics, complaint description, or test procedure for validation work. We perform the hands-on work and return results with clear documentation and photos.

Do you take small or rush jobs?

Yes — most small projects are completed in 1–3 business days. We'll confirm scope and timeline up front.

Will you sign an NDA?

Absolutely. We work NDA-friendly by default and can use your standard NDA or provide ours.

What Engineers Say

Jerry was a critical contributor during my time at Sleep Number, working in the R&D department. His attention to detail with test fixtures, ability to quickly assemble and bring up PCBAs, and troubleshoot PCBs in the prototype phase through to production was essential for the launch of the Climate 360 platform. He efficiently managed tasks from the pipeline project, while supporting all team members with various R&D efforts with respect to troubleshooting, re-work of first run boards, and validation. Jerry's impact on the team and the pipeline project was a significant factor toward meeting the expected launch date of the platform and ensuring a smooth production run. I wholeheartedly recommend Jerry to any organization looking to streamline their design validation process, provide experience-rooted input for manufacturing, and general troubleshooting support through all phases of a product design.
