Design
Warlowe is an Official Service Bureau for Altium.
The founders of Warlowe are Electrical Engineers; our core competency is hardware design.
We will work closely with you to reach your project goals. Warlowe can augment your existing engineering team or serve as your complete hardware engineering team.
Warlowe can develop a complete hardware design or provide selected design files such as only schematics or only PCB layout files that are based on your schematics.
Warlowe can perform research and design prototypes to prove out your ideas.
Warlowe can help with component selection based on function, cost and availability while also helping to define the overall architecture of your project.
Warlowe will provide a production-ready design package that includes the following:
- Schematics
- PCB Layout Files
- 3D Mechanical Models
- Bill of Materials
Warlowe can support your product as it transitions from design to production including developing automated test suites to fully verify each unit.
Automation
Set it and walk away! Automation saves time and money and helps ensure quality!
Warlowe specializes in test automation utilizing LabVIEW™ software with over 15 years of experience.
Warlowe's passion is creating fully-automated test suites for YOUR product. Whether you want to increase product quality, reduce returns, increase throughput, or simplify testing, we have the expertise to get the job done.
Warlowe combines the power of LabVIEW™ software, test equipment, and data management to fully exercise your product. We provide a professional looking test report for every unit and can even integrate with your database.
Warlowe can develop custom test fixtures that enable an array of tests including programming, functional testing, and pre-compliance testing. We can also create a custom ‘bed-of-nails’ test fixture for your product.
Warlowe's test software can support external test equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, function generators, pulser/receivers, multiplexor arrays, custom hardware, etc.

Why Warlowe?
Warlowe prides itself on exceeding expectation. We strive to provide the best solution for our customers and ourselves. We won't accept business that we are not confident in completing successfully.
Warlowe is located in central Pennsylvania. We are very familiar with traveling to support projects. Depending on the needs, extended travel is always a possibility.
Warlowe’s founders, Chris Wharton (B.S. Electrical Engineering ‘08, The Pennsylvania State University) and Zack Lowe (M.S. Electrical Engineering ‘16, B.S. Electrical Engineering ‘09, The Pennsylvania State University, and B.S. Physics ‘07, Lock Haven University), have a combined in-field work experience of over 20 years. They are familiar with leading teams, creating projects from the ground up, project managing, transitioning a product into manufacturing, and automating test setups and procedures.
Warlowe is flexible in how we integrate into your team. We can be an ‘extra engineer’ helping our customer’s already-existing team, or the entire engineering team for a product/customer. We are flexible, and can work any capacity:
Just Schematic Design
Just PCB Layout
Just Cost Reduction or Manufacturing Advising
Just Creating an Automated Test Fixture & Platform
Or we can take an idea from concept all the way through production!
Warlowe has worked with many different technologies across many different industries. Our extended workbench of partners allows us to provide a fully customized solution that includes mechanical design, FPGA design, and contract manufacturing support among other specializations.
Warlowe is a hard-working team that takes pride in their work, minds their details, and lives for positive outcomes!
