Electronic hardware design
Develop robust analogue, digital, power and embedded hardware with verification and production requirements considered from the start.
Explore electronicsElectronics engineering consultancy
From prototype to production.
Hardware, firmware and test engineering for teams developing their next electronic product.
The interfaces make the product.
Explore how hardware, firmware, verification and manufacture fit together in an illustrative electronic system.
Hardware that fits the requirement
Architecture, component selection and PCB decisions connect to power, sensing, interfaces and verification.
Electronic hardware designFirmware that works with the hardware
Drivers, control and communications are defined alongside the board. Integration tests make behaviour repeatable.
Embedded software and firmwareTest that produces usable evidence
Test access, fixtures, acceptance criteria and result logging support design verification and controlled builds.
Automated test equipmentA controlled route into manufacture
BOM, assembly data, programming and calibration information help transfer the design into prototypes and pilot builds.
Manufacturing supportSpecialist depth. Connected delivery.
Bring DVAR into one technical challenge or a complete development work package.
Embedded software and firmware
Build reliable firmware that works with the hardware, supports verification and remains understandable throughout the product lifecycle.
Explore embedded softwareElectronic product development
Turn a requirement, early idea or struggling prototype into a verified product package ready for the next stage of manufacture.
Explore product developmentPrototyping and low-volume manufacture
Move from design files to controlled prototypes, pilot builds and low-volume production with engineering support at each handover.
Explore manufacturingAutomated test equipment
Create functional and end-of-line test systems that improve coverage, repeatability, traceability and operator confidence.
