Hardware & embedded
Hardware & Embedded Engineering
Physical products fail in ways software does not. Thermal envelopes, part availability, certification, and field-replaceability constrain the design long before anyone writes firmware. We work across electronics, firmware, and cloud so those constraints are designed around rather than discovered late.
What we are usually hired for
The problems behind the brief.
Reference designs that do not survive production
An evaluation board proves the idea. Production requires supply-chain resilience, thermal design, enclosure fit, and a part that will still be available in two years. We design for the second year, not the demo.
Firmware and cloud drifting apart
The device and the backend evolve on different schedules, so fielded hardware falls out of protocol compatibility. We version the contract and treat it as an interface.
Data you cannot trust
Sensor noise, calibration drift, and intermittent connectivity corrupt datasets downstream. We fix acquisition, buffering, and time synchronisation at the source.
Certification treated as an afterthought
Regulatory and radio requirements shape the antenna, layout, and firmware update path. Surfacing them early is cheaper than redesigning around them later.
Core capabilities
What we do, concretely.
How we approach it
Our method, applied here.
We design against the real operating envelope — temperature, power budget, connectivity, and part lifecycle — because those are the constraints that determine whether the build succeeds. Prototype early, on the parts you intend to ship.
