Insights

Notes on the decisions that decide whether hardware ships.

Kyros Engineering Insights are articles by Peter Sords, founder and Director of Engineering at Kyros Engineering in Cleveland, Ohio, on the engineering decisions that decide whether a hardware product ships: power architecture, the firmware that runs before the application, and the gap between a working prototype and a manufacturable product. They are written for founders, CTOs and engineering leads.

Each article takes one decision that is cheap to get right early and expensive to unwind later, and explains what to check while it is still cheap.

Facing one of these decisions now?

Kyros starts with a two-week Architecture & Roadmap Study, $5,000 fixed. It ends in a written decision artifact you keep whether or not you continue.
