A Electrical and electronics design and engineering
13 services
-
Embedded systems prototyping
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, STM32, ATtiny, ESP32, ESP8266, nRF52, and various PLC and FPGA platforms.
-
Sensor and actuator integration
Incorporating sensors for data collection, and electronic and mechanical outputs that interact with the user, the environment, or other devices.
-
Wired and wireless communication
Integration of WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa, Zigbee, RS232 and RS485, and other protocols.
-
Gateway development
Gateways for managing data from multiple sensors and devices.
-
Cloud and edge integration
Cloud services or edge computing devices for data collection, analysis, and remote monitoring.
-
Prototyping assembly
Surface-mount and through-hole soldering, plus low-volume manufacturing of assembled prototypes for testing.
-
Embedded firmware development
Secure, efficient firmware written for the part you are actually shipping.
-
Mobile and web applications
Companion applications for remote control or device monitoring.
-
AI and ML for embedded systems
Edge inference with Edge Impulse.
-
Embedded vulnerability assessment and penetration testing
Cyber and physical assessment of embedded and Internet of Things devices. See our security lab for the full practice.
-
Circuit design and schematic capture
From block diagram through reviewed schematic.
-
PCB design and manufacturing
Small single and double-sided boards with low-speed, low-power signals (under 1 GHz, a few amps maximum) fabricated in-house. Larger multilayer and higher-speed boards designed here and manufactured by a PCB partner such as OSH Park or DirtyPCBs. Surface mount and through-hole assembly onto third-party boards done in-house.
-
Electronic and mechanical integration
The two halves assembled and made to agree with each other.
