Complex Systems Builders
Capabilities
Hardware, firmware, power electronics, and the systems that tie them together — from architecture through production.
Concept to Production
New Product Development
End-to-end product development for complex physical products. We take your idea from napkin sketch through architecture, prototyping, verification, and manufacturing transition — delivering production-ready hardware and firmware.
From $1,900/month
Fractional Hardware CTO
Senior hardware judgment on retainer, for teams building a physical product without a hardware lead in the building. You get the architecture calls, the vendor and part decisions, and the design reviews — without carrying a principal engineer on payroll.
Regulatory-Ready by Design
Medical Device Development
Full lifecycle medical device development with regulatory compliance built in from day one. Neurostimulation, diagnostics, patient monitoring, implantables, and IVD platforms — designed to IEC 60601-1 and FDA submission requirements.
Connected Intelligence
Data Engineering & IoT
IoT data pipelines, sensor fusion, edge analytics, and cloud integration for connected product ecosystems. We build the full stack from sensor to dashboard — turning raw data into actionable intelligence.
Production-Grade Code
Embedded Systems & Firmware
Bare-metal and RTOS firmware for ARM Cortex, STM32, ESP32, nRF, and MSP430 platforms. CAN/FDCAN, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, USB, SPI, I2C — we write firmware that ships to production with proper architecture, testing, and documentation.
Design Through Working Boards
Turnkey Hardware Delivery
We deliver validated, working hardware — not design files for someone else to figure out. From schematic capture through assembled, tested boards on your bench. We manage the full lifecycle: multi-layer PCB design, DFM review, component sourcing, fabrication, assembly, and functional test. One vendor from architecture to hardware in hand.
Work People Assume We Don't Take
Buyers screen us out for these before asking. Usually they shouldn't. Here is where we actually stand — including the one thing we genuinely hand off.
Defense & export-controlled programs
Yes.
We support defense-funded work and handle export-controlled data through the customer’s approved process and portal. Tell us the control level and we will tell you straight what we can take.
Reverse engineering & legacy boards
Yes.
No surviving design files, obsolete parts, a vendor who is gone. Recovering a documented, manufacturable design from hardware that already exists is ordinary work here.
Cloud, mobile & backend software
Yes.
We are strongest when there is hardware somewhere in the loop, and that is our preference — but the app, the API and the cloud layer around a device are ours to build too.
Manufacturing at 100K+ units
This one we hand off.
We take a product to production-ready and transition it to your NPI or contract-manufacturing partner. That is a deliberate handoff, and we stay available through it.

Schedule an Architecture CallFrequently Asked Questions
- Do you handle regulatory and compliance (FDA, IEC 60601)?
- Yes — we design for it from day one. We have deep experience with IEC 60601-1, FDA 510(k)/PMA/De Novo, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971 risk management, built into architecture decisions.
- Can you work with our existing team or do you need full ownership?
- Both. We can embed as an extension of your team filling a specific gap, or own an entire workstream end-to-end. Most clients start with a focused sprint and expand.
- Do you do mechanical engineering and industrial design too?
- Our core team covers electrical, firmware, PCB, and system architecture. For mechanical and industrial design we have a vetted extended network — one team, one point of contact.
