In the electronics industry, the gap between a great design and a finished product is often a several-hundred-thousand-pound equipment bill. For many firms, the cost of setting up a space-qualified lab or a high-frequency test bench isn’t just a hurdle, it’s a dead end.

At EECL, we’ve always done things differently. We don’t just use our facility for our own design work; we open it up to yours. Our Capability Hire model gives you the keys to a world-class lab without the overhead, allowing your team to skip the procurement delays and get straight to the bench.

The lab you need, exactly when you need it

Whether you’re a startup needing an ISO-class environment for a week or an established prime looking to offload overflow testing, we provide the specialized infrastructure that is usually impossible to find on a short-term basis.

What’s on the bench?

We’ve invested in the heavy hitters so you don’t have to. Our current hireable capabilities include:

• RF testing to the edge (Up to 90GHz): High-frequency work is unforgiving. We provide the VNA and signal generation capabilities needed for millimetre-wave, 5G/6G, and satellite applications.
• Wedge wire bonding: Essential for microelectronic assembly and RF interconnects where standard soldering just won’t cut it. 
• Cleanroom access: Full ISO-Class hire for assembly or inspection in a climate controlled, particle-free environment. 
• Advanced rework & BGA replacement: We have the gear to handle high-density ICs and BGA replacement without risking the rest of the board.
• Vapour phase reflow: The gold standard for complex, high-mass boards. Achieve perfect thermal profiles every time with zero risk of overheating components.
• Environmental stress testing: Our thermal chambers cover the extremes (-70°C to +150°C), perfect for validating hardware against the rigours of space or industrial use.
• IPC class 3 & ECSS inspection: Don’t guess if your board is flight-ready. Use our certified inspection workflows to ensure you meet the highest reliability standards in the world.
• Specialised storage: Low humidity and low temperature options to keep your long-lead components or sensitive assemblies safe from ESD and oxidation.
