Rapid proof-of-concept to production-ready prototype — hardware bring-up, debugging, performance testing and BOM optimisation to compress iteration cycles and accelerate your time to market.
End-to-end prototyping support from first concept to verified, production-ready hardware
Fast, low-risk POC builds to validate your core idea before committing to a full design. We select development boards, wire peripherals, write quick firmware and demonstrate feasibility — in days, not weeks.
First custom PCB prototype — schematic, layout, assembly and bring-up on your hardware platform. Alpha boards validate architecture before investing in larger production runs.
Systematic root-cause analysis of hardware issues — signal integrity problems, power supply noise, oscilloscope analysis, thermal profiling and schematic review to find and fix faults fast.
Full characterisation of your prototype — power consumption vs operating mode, thermal rise under load, timing margin verification, RF performance and environmental stress testing.
Component audit to identify alternative sourcing, consolidate values, reduce part count and choose components with long lifecycle availability — cutting BOM cost without compromising performance.
Final design verification before mass production — DFM review, assembly file check, test jig development, golden sample testing and production handoff documentation.
Technical depth we bring to every prototype build
Our structured approach to take your idea from concept to verified hardware
We start with a deep-dive into your product requirements — functionality, interfaces, form factor, power budget, environmental conditions and target cost. Then we recommend the optimal MCU, key ICs and mechanical approach before any design work begins.
Where possible we validate key risks on development boards first — writing minimum viable firmware, wiring critical peripherals and demonstrating core functionality to stakeholders before committing to a custom PCB layout.
Schematic capture, PCB layout and fast-turn prototype fabrication and assembly. We use known-good footprints, route critical signals first and include test points for every key node to speed up bring-up.
Power sequencing verification, clock and oscillator validation, peripheral bus bring-up with logic analyser, signal integrity checks on high-speed lines and functional firmware load. Any hardware faults are traced to root cause and corrected with schematic errata or rework.
Comprehensive measurement across all operating modes — current consumption profiling in every sleep/active state, thermal imaging under maximum load, RF output power, timing margin analysis and environmental stress testing.
Final BOM audit for component availability, lifecycle status and cost — followed by full production handoff: verified Gerbers, updated BOM with alternates, assembly drawings, test procedures and a prototype test report.
