Design Services
I offer full-stack hardware consulting services, from system-level design, analogue and digital circuit design, simulation, PCB design, manufacturing and documentation, to board bring-up and firmware development.
In addition, I offer hardware formal design reviews and mentoring.
My areas of expertise are high-speed, mixed-signal electronics, for industrial drones and pro audio. For further details, please see the sections below.
If you are interested in working together, please use the 'Contact' page to get in touch.
PCB Design
Capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- ECAD tools: Altium Designer, EAGLE, KiCad.
- Schematic capture, library creation, and maintenance.
- Complex, mixed-signal, multi-layer PCBs (12+ layers, HDI).
- BGA designs (down to 0.5mm pitch).
- High-speed, sensitive, and high I/O-count designs (RF, FPGA, DDR3, PCIe, USB3).
- Design for EMC and signal integrity.
- Mechanical considerations, shielding, connector I/O layout.
- Stack-up and build-up design, controlled impedance.
- Production file generation and ordering.
- Component sourcing, communication with fab and assembly houses.
Circuit Design
Capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- System-level design and requirements capture.
- Part selection.
- Analogue (power, audio, RF) and digital (MCU, FPGAs/SoCs, ..) circuit design.
- Simulation.
- In-house tests (full-equipped electronic lab available).
Embedded Firmware
Capabilities include - but are not limited to - the following:
- Pin-out planning for MCUs, FPGAs, and SoCs.
- Driver generation for peripherals.
- Board bring-up.
- Languages: C/C++, VHDL.
Reviews & Mentoring
Full, formal schematic and PCB design reviews with detailed reporting.
Mentoring is available for early-stage start-ups and individuals at a reduced rate.
