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.
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.
- 01
Worst-case circuit analysis
Formal tolerance, temperature, and lifetime margin analysis with documented assumptions and a sensitivity-ranked findings list.
- 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.
- 03
Sub-circuit design
Sensing, protection, gate-driver, and signal-conditioning stages designed and analysed in context, integrated cleanly into the programme.
- 04
Bring-up & validation
First-prototype power-on, fault isolation, and structured validation against the test plan — through to integrated system test.
- 05
First Sample Validation
Production-side sign-off on first tooled samples, against the validation plan and customer audit requirements.
A predictable rhythm, from first call to handover.
- 01
Discovery call
30 minutes to understand the problem, the constraints, and what done looks like.
- 02
Scope & quote
Written scope, deliverables, milestones, and a fixed price or rate envelope.
- 03
Execution
Regular check-ins, shared artifacts (schematics, sims, reports), and visible progress.
- 04
Handover
Documented results, design files, and the context to keep the work running after the engagement.
