Capabilities
Everything between the idea and the assembly line.
Most firms hand you a slice of the problem. We cover the full stack — system design, PCB, firmware, RF, and manufacturing handoff — with AI tooling multiplying every phase.
Embedded Systems Design
The decisions made in the first two weeks of a hardware project determine its cost, schedule, and failure modes for years. We treat system design as the highest-leverage phase of the entire program.
- Product architecture and block-diagram-level design
- MCU and SoC selection grounded in supply-chain reality
- Sensor strategy, signal chains, and analog front ends
- Power architecture, battery sizing, and sleep-current budgets
- Certification strategy (FCC, CE, IC) planned from day one
What you get
- System architecture
- Component selection & BOM
- Power budget
- Risk register
PCB Design & Layout
A board that works on the bench and a board that ships at volume are two different boards. We design for the second one the first time — signal integrity, EMC, thermal, and manufacturability are layout inputs, not afterthoughts.
- Schematic capture with structured, reviewable design files
- Multi-layer and high-density layouts, including fine-pitch BGA
- RF-aware routing for BLE, GNSS, LoRa, and cellular sections
- Power integrity and EMC-driven stack-up design
- DFM and DFT reviews against your manufacturer's capabilities
What you get
- Schematics
- Layout & fab files
- Assembly drawings
- DFM report
Firmware Development
Firmware is where products live or die in the field. We write firmware that is observable, updatable, and honest about failure — because a device you can't debug remotely is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
- Bare-metal and RTOS-based development (Zephyr, FreeRTOS)
- Wireless stacks: BLE, LoRa, LTE-M, Wi-Fi provisioning
- Bootloaders, secure OTA update pipelines, and rollback
- Driver development for sensors, power, and peripherals
- Power profiling and battery-life optimization
What you get
- Production firmware
- OTA pipeline
- Test suites
- Technical documentation
AI-Accelerated Engineering
This is the core of how we work, not a feature we bolt on. AI tooling reviews every schematic, explores trade spaces too large for manual analysis, and generates test coverage humans skip. The result is the throughput of a department with the focus of one accountable engineer.
- AI-assisted schematic and layout review on every revision
- Automated trade studies across components and architectures
- Datasheet ingestion and cross-checking at scale
- Generated test plans, edge-case analysis, and verification code
- Custom internal tooling built per-project when it pays for itself
What you get
- Design review reports
- Trade-study analysis
- Verification artifacts
- Project tooling
Wireless & IoT Integration
Radios are where schedules go to die. Antenna placement, matching networks, coexistence, and certification all interact — we handle the radio as a system, from the antenna feed to the cloud dashboard.
- BLE, LoRa, LTE-M/NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, and GNSS integration
- Antenna selection, placement studies, and matching
- RF layout review and pre-certification test planning
- Device provisioning, fleet management, and telemetry
- Cloud ingestion pipelines and data APIs
What you get
- Radio integration
- Antenna guidance
- Connectivity firmware
- Cloud pipeline
Rapid Prototyping & Production Handoff
Prototypes are questions asked in copper and silicon. We run tight, instrumented iteration loops — every build produces data, every revision closes a risk — until the design is ready to leave our hands cleanly.
- Board bring-up with documented, repeatable procedures
- Instrumented validation: power, RF, thermal, mechanical fit
- EVT / DVT / PVT planning and execution
- Vendor coordination for fab, assembly, and test
- Complete production packages a CM can run without us
What you get
- Bring-up reports
- Validation data
- Production package
- Vendor handoff
Engagement models
Three ways to work together.
Full product development
You bring the product vision; we carry it from requirements through production handoff. One contract, one accountable engineer, every discipline covered.
Design partnership
Your team owns the product; we take a defined slice — the PCB, the firmware, the RF section — and integrate tightly with your engineers and your process.
Advisory & design review
A second set of eyes before you commit to a board spin, an architecture audit before you scale, or AI-tooling strategy for your own engineering team.
Not sure which model fits?
Send over what you know — even a napkin sketch. We'll tell you honestly what we'd do, what it costs, and whether you need us at all.
