Electronics is the layer where a good idea meets physics and finds out how good it really was. Noise floors, thermal drift, supply rejection and layout parasitics decide whether a design that works on a bench works in the field, and they are unforgiving of assumptions carried over from simulation.
What we work on
We design analogue and mixed-signal hardware and the firmware that runs on it, from sensor front ends and precision measurement chains through to real-time control loops and the power architecture that has to support them.
Low-power design is a recurring theme. When a device has to run for months on a cell, or harvest what it needs from its environment, the energy budget stops being an optimisation and becomes the specification everything else is negotiated against — sampling rate, radio duty cycle, processing location, even which questions the device is able to answer at all.
From prototype to product
The distance between a working prototype and a manufacturable product is routinely underestimated. Signal integrity, electromagnetic compatibility, test coverage, component availability and the cost of the board all have to be designed in rather than discovered at the pilot build.
We would rather surface that work early, when it is a design decision, than late, when it is a redesign. Where a programme needs a proof of concept and nothing more, we will build exactly that and be clear about what it does not yet prove.
Working with us
This capability rarely travels alone: most electronics programmes here sit alongside communications work, embedded analysis, or a measurement problem that started the project in the first place. Talk to us about where yours begins.
