Why Jetson Orin NX Requires a Different Carrier Board Approach
The Jetson Orin NX is designed for compact and power-efficient AI systems where PCB size, thermal performance, and component cost are critical.
Compared to AGX-class platforms, Orin NX designs require tighter power optimization, careful high-speed routing, and enclosure-driven layouts for embedded and industrial deployments.
Compared to AGX-class platforms, Orin NX designs require tighter power optimization, careful high-speed routing, and enclosure-driven layouts for embedded and industrial deployments.
What these problems really cost your business
3–4 months lost adapting a reference carrier board
2–3 months waiting for components, PCB fabrication, and assembly
2–3 months lost on redesigns and revalidation
$30k–$50k burned on rework and failed hardware iterations
Missed pilots, delayed customers, postponed funding rounds
The engineering team is stuck in firefighting instead of delivering the product
And the system is still not production-ready?
Product growth is limited not only by insufficient engineering expertise but also by poor team organization and high production costs.
How We Design Cost-Optimized Carrier Boards for Jetson Orin NX
We provide full-cycle custom carrier board design and software development.
Cost-optimized carrier board designed for your production
Cost of board can be reduced by $50 per unit, saving more 3-4 times and bringing in revenue of up to $1M for a batch of 5k-10k units.
Independence from vendors,
Full ownership of design
You can order 1k-10k of boards and store them in your warehouse, allowing you to plan for 3-5 years. You can easily replace components.
Hardware that scales with your ideas and roadmap
Easily scale up your ideas by 2-3 times and have a predictable action plan without limitations for several years ahead.
Deep debugging to ensure stable operation under any conditions
Extensive experience in low-level hardware debugging of equipment operation at the register level using complex measuring equipment.
Designing a power supply for long-term use under high loads
Development of a correct power tree, calculation and testing of all power supplies for various modes, and topology PI modeling.
Correct High-speed topology and signal integrity
Correct layout and SI modeling of high-speed and RF interfaces:
PCIe Gen4-5, 10GbE, NVMe, MIPI CSI/DSI, HDMI, USB3.x, Wi-Fi.
PCIe Gen4-5, 10GbE, NVMe, MIPI CSI/DSI, HDMI, USB3.x, Wi-Fi.
Designed with EMC requirements in mind from the start
EMC issues are addressed at layout and stack-up level, using controlled impedance, proper return paths, filtering, and grounding strategy.
PCB size and components layout for mechanical requirements
The enclosure determines the PCB size, connector placement, component layout, and constraints — so there’s no need to compromise.
Thermal design integrated with enclosure constraints
Proper component placement, airflow management, and heat dissipation ensure that the system operates within acceptable limits.
The result is a carrier board designed specifically for your product, not adapted from someone else’s constraints.
