August Electronics combines end-to-end manufacturing capabilities with the traceability and program control needed to support your defense electronics programs.
Manage your defense electronics production with a single manufacturing partner that can support the scope of your program. August Electronics offers full-service military and defense electronic manufacturing from our 85,000 sq. ft. facility, combining assembly, system integration, testing, and supply chain management under one roof.
Our flexible, high-mix manufacturing environment supports complex electronics from early builds through ongoing production and delivery, adapting as your program evolves. With one integrated military contract electronics manufacturing process backed by a responsive partner, you maintain greater visibility into production and a more consistent path from build to finished product.
OUR CAPABILITIES
August Electronics supports SMT and through-hole assembly for high-reliability electronics. Assemblies can be manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 or Class 3 workmanship requirements when specified, with automated inspection technologies used to monitor the build.
We coordinate cable and wire harness assembly alongside PCB manufacturing and system integration. Keeping these capabilities with the same manufacturing partner reduces handoffs and maintains continuity in the manufacturing process.
We can integrate PCBs, cables, harnesses, and other components into complete box builds and electromechanical systems. Functional and customer-specific testing can also be incorporated into the manufacturing process based on program requirements.
August Electronics manages component procurement for turnkey programs and supports customer-supplied materials for consigned and partially consigned work. The team also actively tracks lifecycle risks and material supply to support longer product lifecycles.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
August Electronics reviews your program requirements, expected volumes, material approach, and testing and traceability needs. We evaluate component availability and lead times alongside manufacturing and applicable NRE costs. Your quote reflects the scope and assumptions known at that stage and can be refined as requirements change.
We review your build package to confirm requirements and flag documentation or manufacturability risks. During NPI and early builds, we create controlled production documentation and integrate your test procedures. We also manage revisions and changes, helping move your product into consistent, repeatable manufacturing.
August Electronics coordinates component procurement and the associated supply chain for turnkey programs. We also support consigned and partially consigned programs where customers retain control of specific components or materials.
We manufacture your assemblies using SMT and through-hole processes, then bring PCBs, cables, harnesses, and other military electronic parts into the box build and electromechanical integration.
Our inspection and testing process is integrated throughout production. August Electronics uses in-line SPI and AOI during SMT assembly, with 3D AOI after reflow. X-ray, functional, dielectric, and other acceptance testing can be incorporated as defined by your program requirements.
Once production is complete, August Electronics manages packaging and delivery as required. We can remain involved through recurring production, revisions, component obsolescence management, testing, and sustaining manufacturing support.
TESTIMONIALS
WHY AUGUST ELECTRONICS
Manage more of your program with one military electronics manufacturer. We bring PCB assembly, cable and harness assembly, system integration, testing, procurement, and supply chain management together under one roof, reducing handoffs and simplifying program management.
Strengthen your Canadian defense supply chain through a domestic manufacturing partner. From our Calgary facility, August Electronics provides manufacturing support to build, scale, and sustain ongoing production in Canada.
Military electronics manufacturers need the flexibility to support changing production demands. Our high-mix manufacturing model supports evolving demand, product revisions, multiple configurations, and changing production requirements without requiring the economics of mass production.
Work directly with the people managing your program. A dedicated point of contact keeps communication clear and connects you with the right team members when needed. Technical questions, supply chain challenges, production changes, and quality concerns can then be addressed collaboratively.
August Electronics is registered with Canada’s Controlled Goods Program and certified under the Joint Certification Program, supporting programs that require controlled access, traceability, and disciplined handling of applicable technical data and controlled goods.
We build to your approved documentation. When a deviation or change is needed, it goes through a controlled process, a Temporary Deviation Notice (TDN) or Engineering Change (EC), with each change documented and approved before release.
If an issue is found during production, the affected product is isolated and documented while we work with your team to determine the cause and corrective action. Inspection and testing are matched to your program requirements and may include SPI, 3D AOI, X-ray, functional testing, and dielectric testing.

Yes. August Electronics can manufacture assemblies to IPC-A-610 Class 3 workmanship requirements when specified. We support complex, high-reliability electronics with the inspection, documentation, and process controls required for Class 3 builds.
August Electronics provides traceability to the package ID, with additional supplier, manufacturer, lot/date-code, receiving, and production records defined by customer and program requirements. To maintain appropriate documentation and oversight throughout the manufacturing lifecycle, traceability requirements are established during the NPI and quoting phases.
Access to sensitive and controlled program information is restricted to authorized personnel based on program requirements. August Electronics is registered with Canada’s Controlled Goods Program and certified through the Joint Certification Program, with processes for applicable controlled goods and technical data.
Suppliers are managed through our ISO 9001 quality management system and evaluated based on factors such as quality, delivery performance, capability, and compliance with applicable requirements. Our procurement and quality teams use that information to manage supplier performance, sourcing alternatives, and potential supply disruptions.
August Electronics’ quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016. The company is also registered with Canada’s Controlled Goods Program and certified under the Canada/U.S. Joint Certification Program. Assemblies can be manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 or Class 3 workmanship requirements when specified.
