Electronic Engineering

Powering smart products and connected devices through collaborative electronic design from our team in Cambridge

Whether you’re a founder looking to develop an innovative electronic product, or an established firm with an existing product facing the challenges of capacity, in-house capability, or product obsolescence, our experienced team of electronic design consultants is here to guide you through the process.

Working with our skilled electronic product development team means you can:

  • Extend the lifetime value and increase the margin on older, established products
  • Solve the problem of cost-down value engineering
  • Add capacity and capability to in-house teams
  • Expand market reach into new segments through IoT product development
  • Apply state-of-the-art technology to address commercial challenges

Electronic product development can include 

  • Requirements definition and refinement, and early-stage proof-of-concepts 
  • Exploration of architectural options and trade-offs (e.g. CPU vs FPGA, modular vs. chip-down implementation, wireless technology selection) 
  • Component selection, specialist supply-chain engagement (e.g. for cost refinement, obsolescence monitoring, product lifetime awareness) 
  • Schematic capture using industry-standard tools 
  • PCB layout (including stack-up and technology selection), generation of 3D models for integration with mechanical models 
  • PCB bring-up, test and design validation (e.g. environmental testing, beyond-the-limits testing) 
  • Configuration management and change management  
  • Securing market access (e.g. early pre-compliance testing to de-risk design, full compliance testing) 
  • Cost-down, value engineering 
  • IoT consulting, IoT product design, IoT product development service 
  • Sensor technology exploration and optimisation 
  • Transfer to manufacture and regulatory compliance (EMC, RED, FCC)
