Embedded systems, designed and built in Calgary, Alberta
Firmware, electronics and test systems for production hardware.
We design the board, write the firmware and build the test systems that verify it. Energy, industrial and high reliability products, from concept through production.
Capabilities
Capabilities
Hardware and firmware are handled by the same people, which shortens the loop between a measurement on the bench and a fix in the code.
- 01System ArchitectureRequirements, partitioning, component selection and the design documentation that keeps hardware and firmware moving in the same direction.
- 02Electronics DesignSchematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, precision analog and high-voltage power stages, through prototype bring-up.
- 03Firmware and Embedded SoftwareBare-metal and RTOS firmware in C and C++, embedded Linux, CAN protocol stacks, secure boot, and the build and test tooling around them.
- 04Integration and PrototypingBoard assembly and bring-up, mechanical and electrical integration, quick-turn iteration with 3D printing and fast fabrication.
- 05Test, Validation and HILHardware validation, automated firmware regression, hardware-in-the-loop platforms and production test fixtures.
- 06Manufacturing CoordinationContract manufacturer liaison, DFM review, BOM and supply-chain management, and production test development for the ramp to volume.
- 07Infrastructure and ITSecure networks, servers and device management for connected products and small technical organizations.
How we work
Scope it. Build it. Prove it.
- Scope. A short assessment first: requirements, constraints, risks and an estimate. Small problems get a short review instead of a long project.
- Build. Architecture, schematics, layout, firmware and integration. Prototypes are built early and revised often so you can see progress on real hardware.
- Prove. Bring-up procedures, automated regression, hardware-in-the-loop and production test, so every shipped unit has been through the same verification as the prototype.
