Capability
Embedded Systems and Firmware
Firmware and control logic are developed alongside the hardware so the prototype behaves as a complete system rather than a set of parts.
Scope of work
What this service covers
Work is scoped from this list according to your requirement. Anything outside the agreed scope is stated as an exclusion in the proposal.
- Microcontroller selection
- Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi and other suitable controllers
- Sensor integration
- Motor and actuator control
- Communication protocols
- IoT connectivity
- Firmware development
- Control logic
- Data acquisition
- Interface development
- Prototype testing
How it runs
The stages this work moves through
Each engagement follows the same defined structure, scaled to the size of the project.
01
Discover
Understand the problem, application, users, constraints, timeline and intended outcome.
02
Define
Prepare requirements, technical scope, deliverables, development stages and estimated costs.
03
Design
Develop concepts, CAD models, electronics, circuitry, PCB layouts and system architecture.
04
Prototype
Produce mechanical parts, assemble electronics, program firmware and create a functional prototype.
05
Test
Evaluate fit, function, durability, usability, electronics and system performance.
06
Refine
Improve the design using test results and client feedback.
07
Produce
Prepare manufacturing files and support print-farm or low-volume production.
08
Deliver and Support
Provide the agreed prototype, documentation and continued engineering support.
Related capabilities
Often combined with
Most projects use more than one discipline. These are commonly scoped alongside this service.

CAD and 3D Modelling
Parametric models, assemblies and manufacturing-ready documentation.
Circuit and PCB Design
Schematics, layouts and board bring-up for functional hardware.
Robotics and Automation
Custom mechanisms, mobile robots and sensor-driven automation.
