UK-based independent engineering consultancy
Established in 2016, PK Systems is a UK-based independent engineering and technology consultancy providing professional services in embedded software, electronics design, and systems engineering.
We work with product teams to define scope clearly, reduce delivery risk, and deliver production-ready outputs with documentation your engineers can maintain. If a project is stuck, we help diagnose the root cause and move it forward with clear, actionable fixes.
Typical outputs
- Schematics and PCB layout
- Firmware and drivers
- Bring-up notes and debugging findings
- Test notes and results (against agreed acceptance criteria)
- Handover pack (source code, build instructions, and design files)
For examples of past work, see our portfolio.
How we workReducing delivery risk
Testing
AcceptanceTesting is built around agreed acceptance criteria. We run functional checks throughout development and provide test notes/results at handover so behaviour is clear and repeatable.
Code Standards Check
MaintainableWe write maintainable, reviewable code with clear structure and documentation. Where appropriate, we use code reviews and automated checks (for example linting and static analysis) so your team can support and extend the work confidently.
Integration
End-to-endWe integrate hardware, firmware, and external systems, and validate behaviour in your real environment. Configuration notes and reproducible setup steps are included.
Quality Check
HandoverBefore handover, we run a final verification against the agreed scope and provide a handover pack (source code, build instructions, design files, and test notes) so you can continue with confidence.
Company Core Values
first stepInitial scoping call
We start with a short call to understand what you’re building, the constraints (reliability, manufacturability, power, schedule), and what “done” looks like. If it’s a fit, we’ll outline a practical next step and provide a clear quote for a defined scope.
how we workClear scope and handover
We keep delivery predictable: scope agreed up front, progress updates during the work, and a handover pack at the end. That typically includes source code/build notes, design files, and test notes so your team can continue without rework.
toolingAppropriate tools, proven methods
We use modern toolchains where they genuinely reduce risk and improve delivery, but avoid novelty for its own sake. The priority is repeatable builds, traceable decisions, and outputs that can be supported long-term.
Why clients work with us
Clients come to us when they need experienced engineering support that is practical, well documented, and easy to integrate into an existing team.
We work best with time-poor technical leads who need delivery to move forward without guesswork: bring-up support, fault diagnosis, performance bottleneck investigation, electronics and firmware development, and design reviews with clear, actionable outputs.
Where project details are sensitive, we are comfortable working under NDA and limiting what is shared publicly.
See our portfolio for examples of past work.
Seeking New ClientsLet’s discuss your project
If you need help with embedded software, electronics, bring-up, debugging, integration, or design review, we can take on defined work packages or support your team directly. Contact us with a short outline of what you’re building and the constraints you’re working under, and we’ll suggest a sensible next step.
