01 Services

Four pillars of contract hardware engineering.

Engaged individually for a focused gap, or across a defined hardware work package — from schematic review through prototype bring-up, validation, and production-readiness support.

01
Design
Schematic & PCB

Power-stage and analog front-end design across gate drivers, on-board chargers, sensor interfaces, and EVSE-class hardware. Works in KiCAD, Altium, Diptrace, and EasyEDA depending on what your team already uses.

Typical deliverables
  • ·Architecture and topology selection
  • ·Schematic capture with component justification
  • ·PCB layout reviewed against thermal, signal-integrity, and creepage constraints
Full scope and tools
02
Analysis
Simulation & WCA

Quantitative analysis of how a circuit behaves across tolerance, temperature, and lifetime. Builds the evidence base that design reviews, customer audits, and safety standards demand — delivered in whichever format your team prefers to work from.

Typical deliverables
  • ·Worst-case circuit analysis (WCA) with documented assumptions
  • ·Monte-Carlo runs across component tolerances and operating range
  • ·Thermal modeling with junction-temperature margins to inform component choice
Full scope and tools
03
Testing & Validation
Debug · Bring-up · Failure Analysis

Hands-on hardware debug across board and system level, with a habit of writing things down so the fix sticks. Built around the discipline of 8D problem solving and direct experience with field-return investigation.

Typical deliverables
  • ·Board bring-up plan and test procedures
  • ·Fault isolation with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and power analyzer
  • ·Circuit failure analysis on bench or field-return hardware
Full scope and tools
04
Prototyping
Concept to Production

End-to-end ownership of the prototype loop: spec, supplier interface, fabrication, assembly, validation, and the design adjustments that turn a working bench-build into something a contract manufacturer can actually produce.

Typical deliverables
  • ·Requirements capture aligned to product, safety, and manufacturability targets
  • ·Vendor and component selection with second-source and lead-time risk flagged
  • ·Prototype builds with documented rev history
Full scope and tools
02 Recurring deliverables

What gets repeated across engagements.

Engagement after engagement, a small set of deliverables keeps coming up — whatever the product or industry. The pillars above describe the kinds of work; the list below is what typically lands.

  1. 01

    Worst-case circuit analysis

    Formal tolerance, temperature, and lifetime margin analysis with documented assumptions and a sensitivity-ranked findings list.

  2. 02

    Spice & functional simulation

    SPICE models of the critical sub-circuits, behavioural and functional models, and the runs that close the gap between theory and bench.

  3. 03

    Sub-circuit design

    Sensing, protection, gate-driver, and signal-conditioning stages designed and analysed in context, integrated cleanly into the programme.

  4. 04

    Bring-up & validation

    First-prototype power-on, fault isolation, and structured validation against the test plan — through to integrated system test.

  5. 05

    First Sample Validation

    Production-side sign-off on first tooled samples, against the validation plan and customer audit requirements.

03 How engagements work

A predictable rhythm, from first call to handover.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    30 minutes to understand the problem, the constraints, and what done looks like.

  2. 02

    Scope & quote

    Written scope, deliverables, milestones, and a fixed price or rate envelope.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Regular check-ins, shared artifacts (schematics, sims, reports), and visible progress.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Documented results, design files, and the context to keep the work running after the engagement.
