Specialist engineering services

Engineering for connected products that have to work in the real world.

From multi-layer PCB design to embedded firmware to certified hardware, we build the connected-device technology that other consultancies wave their hands at.

Most engineering consultancies stop at slideware.

If you're building a product that connects to anything — a sensor, a gateway, a piece of industrial equipment, a wearable, a medical device — you don't need a strategy deck. You need engineers who can take a brief and ship hardware that works, that meets the regs you need to meet, and that doesn't leave you stuck six months from now waiting on a fix.

Four capabilities, one accountable team.

Hardware design

Multi-layer PCB design, mixed-signal, RF, and low-power circuitry. Schematic capture through to manufacturable design files. We design for cost, for compliance, and for the test fixture that comes after.

🔬

Embedded firmware

C and Rust on bare-metal MCUs, RTOS where it earns its keep, Linux on the edge. Bootloaders, OTA update systems, and the kind of low-level driver work other firms outsource to people you can't reach.

📡

Connectivity & IoT

BLE, LoRaWAN, cellular IoT, Wi-Fi, industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT). Cloud back-ends and device management when you need them; standalone gateways when you don't.

🛡️

Compliance & certification

CE, UKCA, FCC, EMC pre-compliance and full certification routing. EU CRA readiness (we built CRAReady, the SaaS for this exact problem). Documentation, technical files, and test coordination.

Three engagement shapes.


Sectors we know well.

Years of shipping products in regulated and demanding environments means we don't waste your first month learning your domain.
