Independent technical advice at every stage — design reviews, architecture decisions, firmware audits, supplier selection and production readiness checks. We help you avoid costly mistakes before they happen.
Specialist expertise across the full electronics product lifecycle
Independent audit of schematics and layout — signal integrity, power distribution, EMC compliance, DFM issues and BOM risk identified before fabrication.
MCU / SoC selection, memory and storage sizing, connectivity trade-offs and power budget analysis — getting your architecture right from the start.
Code review for RTOS usage, peripheral driver correctness, power management state machines, security vulnerabilities and OTA update safety.
Deep-dive into sleep modes, duty cycle strategy, LDO vs DCDC selection and firmware-driven power gating to extend battery life to specification.
Pre-compliance guidance for CE, FCC and BIS certification — layout recommendations, shielding, filtering and test preparation to pass first time.
Manufacturing partner selection, DFM/DFT review, factory test strategy, component sourcing risk, and first article inspection checklist creation.
Flexible engagement models to match your project stage and budget
A focused single-session review of your schematic, layout or firmware. You get a detailed written report with prioritised findings and actionable recommendations.
⏱ 1–3 days turnaroundMonthly retainer giving your team access to our engineers for design questions, document reviews, supplier qualification and weekly check-in calls as your project evolves.
⏱ Rolling monthlyFull-time embedded consulting for complex, high-stakes programmes — a senior engineer works alongside your team from architecture through production bring-up.
⏱ 1–6 monthsStructured, transparent and focused on outcomes you can act on
A 30–60 minute call to understand your project, the specific challenges you are facing and what outcomes you need from the engagement. No charge, no commitment.
We review all documents you can share — schematics, layout files, firmware source, datasheets, specifications and any existing test data. A signed NDA is in place before any files are exchanged.
Our engineers conduct a systematic review against industry standards (IPC, JEDEC, ISO 26262, OWASP IoT), best practices and project-specific requirements. All findings are documented with severity ratings.
We deliver a structured written report — executive summary, detailed findings with root cause analysis, risk ratings and specific recommendations. A live walkthrough session is included to answer questions.
After the report delivery we remain available for 30 days to clarify findings, answer questions as your team implements changes, and optionally conduct a re-review of revised designs.
Clear, actionable outputs that your engineering team can use immediately
Structured PDF report with executive summary, prioritised findings (Critical / Major / Minor), root causes and specific corrective actions
Your schematics and layout files returned with comments and markup highlighting each identified issue in context
Action-item checklist in spreadsheet format so your team can track resolution of every finding through to closure
Formal risk matrix mapping each finding to programme impact (schedule, cost, reliability) with likelihood and severity ratings
Live walkthrough session (video call) of all findings with your engineering and management team — questions answered in real time
Curated list of applicable standards (IPC, JEDEC, ISO, IETF) and recommended technical resources relevant to your product
Once you have addressed findings, we offer a rapid re-review to confirm issues are resolved before fabrication or production release
All engagements are covered by a mutual NDA. Your IP, design files and business information remain strictly confidential
The engineering domains our consultants have deep hands-on experience in
Op-amp circuits, ADC/DAC interfaces, sensor conditioning, SMPS design, LDO selection and EMI/EMC layout for noise-sensitive analog signals.
DDR4/LPDDR4, USB 3.x, PCIe, LVDS and GbE trace impedance control, via optimisation, return path analysis and pre-compliance testing guidance.
FreeRTOS, Zephyr and bare-metal architecture reviews — task prioritisation, ISR design, memory safety, stack sizing and deterministic timing analysis.
Secure boot chain, hardware root of trust, TLS/DTLS implementation review, firmware update security, key storage and OWASP IoT threat modelling.
Design-for-manufacturability and testability audits, CM selection, IPC-A-610 standards compliance, test coverage analysis and first article inspection support.
What makes our consulting different from generic technical advisory firms
Every review is done by engineers who actively design PCBs and write firmware — not by project managers reading checklists.
Initial response within 24 hours. Most single-document reviews delivered within 3 business days with zero chasing required.
Mutual NDA signed before any file exchange. Your designs, IP and business information never leave our secure review environment.
Pay per review or engage on a flexible retainer with no minimum term. You stay in control of spend at every stage.
