Product Engineering

Your product, engineered end to end.

Schematic capture and PCB design. Bare-metal firmware, RTOS and embedded Linux. PLC programming, robot and cobot integration. Edge-to-cloud telemetry pipelines. We engineer the full product — from silicon decisions through field deployment — end to end, in one team.

How we work

A capability, built around requirements.

Every engagement starts from a requirement and stays bespoke. Confidentiality is the standard, and engagements remain private by default.

Capabilities

Four disciplines. One engagement.

A complete product engineering practice — hardware, embedded software, industrial automation and cloud integration — four disciplines, one engineering team.

End-to-end hardware

Hardware

From schematic to populated PCB to enclosure. Every step of bringing a device to life — designed in-house, manufacturable, repeatable.

  • Schematic capture · multi-layer PCB · controlled-impedance routing
  • RF, mixed-signal and high-speed digital design
  • Signal integrity, EMI / EMC, thermal analysis
  • Mechanical and enclosure design
  • DFM, DFT, ICT / FCT test fixturing
Bare metal to Linux

Embedded Software

The software layer between silicon and product. Built for the constraints, written to last, secured by design.

  • Bare-metal C / C++ on ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V
  • RTOS — Zephyr, FreeRTOS, ThreadX
  • Embedded Linux — Yocto / Buildroot, custom BSPs, kernel work
  • Drivers, bootloaders, board bring-up, low-power tuning
  • Secure boot · mTLS · signed OTA · defense-in-depth hardening
PLCs · machines · robots · cobots

Industrial Automation

Programming and integrating the equipment of the factory floor — from heavy machines through industrial robots and cobots to the PLCs that orchestrate them.

  • PLC programming — IEC 61131-3 (ladder, ST, FBD)
  • Heavy machines, industrial robots, collaborative robots
  • HMI and SCADA — Ignition, WinCC, OPC-UA over MQTT
  • Fieldbus and OT — Modbus, OPC-UA, EtherCAT, Profinet, CAN
  • Functional safety — IEC 61508, ISO 13849, SIL / PL targets
Machine-to-cloud, end to end

Cloud Integration

The connective layer that brings field hardware, embedded firmware and factory automation into cloud workflows — telemetry, dashboards, analytics, AI.

  • Edge-to-cloud telemetry — MQTT, OPC-UA, AMQP, REST
  • Time-series ingest · stream processing · cold storage
  • Dashboards, alerts and operational analytics
  • Predictive maintenance · anomaly detection · model serving
  • Land on SPIDEX, or the cloud of your choice

Precision timing & frequency

When microseconds matter.

When microsecond-stable time is the requirement — Stratum-1 NTP or IEEE 1588 PTP grandmasters — these are the boxes you put at the network root. Instrumentation grids, control rooms, distributed test beds: anywhere clock drift becomes a measurement error.

NTP Server Network Time Protocol server

Stratum-grade time distribution for IT, OT and instrumentation networks.

PTP Server Precision Time Protocol server

Sub-microsecond sync for time-critical infrastructure.

NTP Display Time display system

Synchronised time display for control rooms, labs and operations floors.

FDA Frequency Distribution Amplifier

Clean fan-out of a reference frequency to every instrument that needs it.

Bespoke devices

The instrument built around your requirement.

A one-off measurement rig. A specialised data-acquisition unit. A bespoke OEM device that does not exist anywhere else. We engage as a co-development partner — concept, architecture, schematic, multi-layer PCB, firmware (bare-metal or Linux), mechanical, validation — through to delivered hardware and long-tail support.

How this practice fits

A separate practice, by design.

Product Engineering runs as its own practice — relationship-led, requirement-driven, confidential. Different commercial terms, different IP terms, different cadence. Two product lines of equal standing, deliberately kept distinct.

A capability, on call

Discuss a requirement, in confidence

Engagements begin with a scoped requirements review — what the device needs to do, what it talks to, where it lives, how it scales. We respond within 24 hours.
