Employees were notified of the closing on Jan. 8, and their terminations are effective on March 8, according to the notice. Positions being eliminated include engineers, managers, customer service staff and plating operators.

About Sierra Circuits

Sierra Circuits, based in Sunnyvale, California, is situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, where it benefits from its proximity to the world's top innovators in technology, aerospace, medicine, and manufacturing. The company's 70,000 sq. ft. PCB manufacturing and assembly campus is located near prominent institutions such as the SETI Institute, Toyota InfoTech Labs, and the MountainView Research Park. Positioned close to the San Francisco International Airport and the deepwater Port of Redwood City, Sierra Circuits enjoys a strategic location that facilitates the delivery of its technology to customers worldwide.

Back in the mid 1980’s, while other manufacturers were simply fabricating circuit boards, Sierra Circuits was constantly reinventing itself while pushing the envelope to help revolutionize the PCB industry. As a family-run business, the idea of establishing quicker cycle times was born out of the existing industry inefficiencies.

Specializing in quick turn PCBs and medium production runs, Sierra Circuits focuses on delivering the highest quality products in the shortest amount of time. This is made possible by being the actual manufacturer and assembler of PCBs. By owning their manufacturing and assembly facilities, they have full control over every aspect of the production schedule.
