Services

Five modules. Engaged separately, or as one lab that takes a problem from field research to shipped hardware.

Hardware Miniaturization

You have a system that works on a bench. We make it fit where it actually has to live.

Board re-architecture, stack-up and packaging design, power-system redesign, mechanical integration. Our internal benchmark: a full touchscreen payment terminal driven from 13-card thickness toward a single standard card.

  • Re-architected PCBs & stack-ups
  • Power budget engineering
  • Enclosure & mechanical design
  • DFM for small-batch and scale

Sensor R&D

Measuring things that resist being measured, in environments that abuse electronics.

Flow, inertial, capacitive, and optical sensing; multi-sensor fusion; calibration regimes that hold up outside the lab. We took pour detection from 84% to 99.4% across six revisions under real bar-rail conditions.

  • Sensor selection & characterization
  • Fusion & event-detection algorithms
  • Calibration & validation protocols
  • Field-test instrumentation

Embedded Systems & Custom OS

Bare-metal firmware for devices that must run for years on power budgets near zero.

Ultra-low-power firmware, custom display drivers, secure elements, cryptography including post-quantum schemes: up to a complete operating system for a novel display in a payment card, with its own 7×5 typeface.

  • Bare-metal & RTOS firmware
  • Display stacks & UI for constrained pixels
  • Secure element integration
  • OTA & device lifecycle tooling

Rapid Prototyping

Working hardware in weeks, then a measured march of revisions.

We prototype like we mean it: every revision exists to move a named metric. 3D-printed and machined enclosures, small-batch assembly, instrumented field deployments that generate the data for the next rev.

  • Functional prototypes (V1 in weeks)
  • Revision plans tied to metrics
  • Small-batch builds
  • Instrumented field pilots

Design Research & Systems

Ethnography before electronics. The data layer after.

Field observation, journey mapping, and competitive teardowns define the device; dashboards, data pipelines, and real-time software complete it. We rebuilt a trading desk inside a spreadsheet with sub-100ms live data.

  • Field studies & usability testing
  • Journey maps & teardowns
  • Real-time data systems & dashboards
  • On-premise AI integration
