Higher Level Assembly

From Boards to Fully Built Systems.

At SMT, we don’t stop at the PCB. Our Higher-Level Assembly (HLA) capabilities bring together electronics, mechanics, cabling, and enclosures into fully integrated systems, built and delivered with confidence.

Our HLA Capabilities

  • System-Level Integration: All components are assembled into complete units, validated, tested, and ready to ship.
  • Enclosure Fit, Mounting & Branding: We manage tolerance stacks, mounting hardware, standoffs, labeling, and customer-supplied enclosures with care and consistency.
  • Final Assembly Testing: Functional test and serialized validation using your test protocol or custom-built fixtures.
  • Packaging & Direct Ship to Distribution: Custom packaging, labeling, and documentation for direct-to-distribution no need to re-handle.

Why SMT for Higher-Level Assembly?

  • Built With System-Level Thinking: Our teams understand cable routing, serviceability, and product lifecycle, so your unit works in the field, not just on the bench.
  • Process-Controlled, Not Pieced Together: Every subassembly follows a defined traveler, inspection gate, and test protocol.
  • Designed to Scale: Whether you need 10 units or 1,000 and beyond, our teams adapt to build complexity, documentation level, and quality expectations.
  • One Build, One Source of Truth: SMT provides full assembly documentation, traceability, and revision control across electrical and mechanical configurations.

When You Need More Than a Box Build

If your product has cables, mounting hardware, software load, mechanical alignment, or multiple subassemblies, SMT is built to handle it. We don’t treat HLA as an afterthought. We treat it like the product your customers will see, use, and rely on.

Let’s build it right—start to finish.

Need More Than Just a PCB?

SMT delivers full system builds - from subassemblies to complete box builds - with precision, speed, and quality control you can trust.
