Solutions

Turn-key, or exactly the layer you need

Some clients hand us a market requirement and take back a manufacturable product. Others have a capable team and need one hard problem solved. Both are normal engagements.

Turn-key

Complete ownership, concept to production-ready

Expertise under one roof means no gap between the people who drew the schematic and the people writing the driver. That is where embedded projects usually lose time.

01

Concept development

Requirements captured properly, trade studies where they matter, and a system architecture that survives contact with the schematic. We establish the hardware/software partition before either side commits to a direction.
02

Hardware development

Schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout, including high-speed and mixed-signal work. Component engineering runs alongside, so availability and lifecycle inform selection rather than surprising you at build time.
03

Firmware and software

Bootloader, board support package, device drivers and the RTOS or Linux layer above them. Application and connectivity software built on top of a platform we know intimately, because we designed the board underneath it.
04

Prototyping and integration

Fabrication and assembly managed through our supply chain, then bring-up, characterisation and hardware/software integration until the unit behaves as specified under real conditions.

Deliverables

What you actually receive

Engineering services are easy to describe vaguely. These are the artefacts that change hands.

Design

  • System architecture and block diagrams
  • Schematics and bill of materials
  • PCB layout and fabrication data
  • Design-for-manufacture review

Build

  • PCB fabrication and assembly
  • Prototype bring-up and test
  • Firmware and application files
  • Production test procedures

Handover

  • Compliance testing support
  • Manufacturing documentation
  • Design history and rationale
  • Transfer to volume manufacture

Also available separately

Single-discipline engagements

If the whole product is not the ask, take the discipline you need. The same engineers, scoped to one layer.

Hardware development

Architecture, schematic, PCB layout, component engineering and prototype manufacture.

Firmware development

BSP, bootloaders, device drivers and RTOS or Embedded Linux integration.

Application development

Middleware, connectivity stacks, multimedia pipelines and host-side tooling.

Tell us what you are building

Send us a specification, a block diagram, or a rough idea. We will come back with an honest assessment of scope, risk and the fastest route to a working prototype.
