WHAT WE DO

Core capabilities

Embedded firmware (C/C++)

Bare-metal and RTOS development, drivers, bring-up, debugging, performance optimisation, and clean handover.

Electronics & PCB design

Schematic + layout, DFM/DFT, power design, signal integrity considerations, 3D fit checks, and manufacturing packs.

IoT & ultra-low power

BLE/Wi-Fi/Thread, battery architecture, nanoamp-level measurement, and lifetime modelling for deployments.

Industrial control & automation

Motor/encoder control, sensors, comms and edge gateways — robust building blocks for factory control systems.

HOW WE WORK

A clear, low-risk delivery process

Structured engagement, fast feedback loops, and clean handover — so your team can ship confidently.

1
Discover

Clarify scope, constraints, interfaces, and success criteria. Confirm priorities and risks before we commit.

2
Plan

Define milestones, test approach, and deliverables. You get a practical plan with transparent trade-offs.

3
Deliver

Implement, validate, and iterate. Regular updates, disciplined version control, and issue tracking.

4
Handover

Documentation, build notes, test evidence, and support if needed — so the work is maintainable.

SELECTED RESULTS

Evidence-led outcomes

A few examples of the kind of measurable progress we deliver — without exposing client IP.

PCB BRING-UP DFM/DEBUG
Days saved with systematic fault isolation

Traced a complex board issue to a missing power track by validating intent from schematic through footprint to physical routing.

  • Faster root-cause identification
  • Clear documentation for the team
  • Reduced re-spin risk
LOW POWER IoT
Battery-life extension path with measured evidence

Structured an evaluation plan for power architecture changes, prototype builds, and measurement-led analysis for lifetime modelling.

  • Measured nanoamp-level behaviour
  • Prototype + test plan included
  • Actionable recommendations
EMBEDDED PERFORMANCE
10× faster load performance via tighter I/O path

Rebuilt a server-side path in C and removed bottlenecks, improving responsiveness while keeping behaviour consistent.

  • Lower latency on key requests
  • Safer deployment with staged validation
  • Clean handover notes
ECOSYSTEMS & TOOLCHAINS

Built in the ecosystems your team ships

Comfortable working across embedded, PCB, and test stacks — with clean handover artefacts your team can maintain.

ENGINEERING CAPACITY

Take engineering workload off your team

Extra engineering capacity when your team is stretched — with clear scope and predictable communication.

We take on defined work packages and keep progress visible: rapid iteration, documented decisions, and a handover your engineers can pick up without guesswork. Typical outcomes include faster bring-up, fewer re-spins, and designs ready for manufacturing and long-term support.

  • Defined scope and interfaces up front
  • Fast feedback loops with measurement-led validation
  • Clean handover with notes, test evidence, and repo hygiene
ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS

Work packages that de-risk delivery

Clear scope, measurable outputs, and clean handover — so your team can move faster without taking on unknowns.

Board bring-up & fault isolation

Typical timeframe: 3-15 days

Outcomes
  • Root cause identified with supporting evidence
  • Actionable fix path (rework / ECO / respin scope)
  • Clear notes your team can continue from
What’s included
  • System-level fault isolation plan + checkpoints
  • Measurements, logs, and concise test evidence
  • DFM/assembly sanity checks (where relevant)

Embedded firmware delivery

Typical timeframe: 2-8 weeks

Outcomes
  • Working feature set against agreed acceptance criteria
  • Predictable iteration with visible progress
  • Clean handover your engineers can maintain
What’s included
  • Drivers / RTOS / comms / test harness where needed
  • Disciplined version control + issue tracking
  • Build notes, diagrams, and handover walkthrough

Power & performance optimisation

Typical timeframe: 5-20 days

Outcomes
  • Measured improvement (battery, latency, throughput)
  • Evidence-led trade-offs and recommended changes
  • Optional prototype plan for confidence
What’s included
  • Profiling + bottleneck analysis
  • Power measurement plan (sleep, bursts, steady-state)
  • Patch set + notes for repeatable verification
NEXT STEP

Tell us what you’re building

A short call to clarify scope, risks, and what “done” means. You’ll get clear options and a practical next step.

We’ll reply with a short set of questions and suggested next steps — no sales script.

  • NDA-ready sensitive work handled correctly from day one
  • Clean handover notes, evidence, and build context your team can maintain
  • Fast feedback loops short iterations with measurable checkpoints
COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions before we start

A few practical details engineers usually want up front. For everything else, see the full FAQ. View full FAQ

Can you work under an NDA?

Yes. If you already have an NDA, send it over. If not, we can use ours. Share only what’s needed to scope or reproduce the issue.

How quickly can you start?

We’ll be clear about start dates up front. If it’s urgent, we can often begin with a short discovery slot to unblock you, then schedule delivery work.

How does scoping work?

We start with discovery: what’s failing, how to reproduce it, and what constraints matter. Then we propose a plan: milestones, deliverables, and what you’ll have at handover. Execution is time-boxed with checkpoints.

What do you need from us to get moving?

The fastest starts happen with: schematics/PCB files (or exports), logs, repro steps, and any known-good/bad comparisons. If it’s firmware/software: repo access, build steps, and target hardware details.

How do you communicate progress?

Short updates with evidence: what we tried, what we observed, and what we’ll do next. Work is tracked and handover is structured so your team can maintain it.

Who owns the deliverables?

You do. We aim for clean repo hygiene, clear commit history, and documented build/test steps. You get the artefacts needed to continue without us.
