Services
Support for teams that need senior‑level electronics and embedded engineering without committing to a full‑time hire.
Electronics Design
- Architecture and partitioning
- Schematic capture
- PCB design, layout guidance and review
- Power, sensing, and connectivity
Embedded Firmware
- Board bring‑up and low‑level drivers
- Application‑level logic and state machines
- Debugging and performance tuning
- Prototyping and proof‑of‑concepts
System & Product Support
- Design reviews and risk identification
- DFM/DFT considerations
- Vendor and CM technical coordination
- Support for documentation and test planning
Engagement styles
Project‑based work
Well‑scoped efforts with defined deliverables, such as a prototype design, a board revision, or a focused firmware feature set.
Ongoing support
Part‑time, ongoing involvement where I act as a senior engineer you can rely on for design work, reviews, and technical decision support.
Lab Capabilities
Tools and equipment that support rapid prototyping, board bring‑up, and detailed electrical evaluation.
- Signal measurement and analysis using a mixed‑signal oscilloscope, current probing, and vector network analysis for RF and EMI investigation.
- Electrical characterization with multiple digital multimeters and a regulated bench power supplies for controlled power‑up, fault testing, and measurement accuracy.
- Thermal evaluation using infrared imaging to identify hotspots, verify thermal paths, and assess component stress.
- Prototyping and rework with soldering, hot‑air, and hot‑plate tools for assembly, modification, and repair of prototype hardware.
- Stimulus and verification using signal generation for functional testing and evaluation.
- Custom test setups and fixtures to support repeatable measurements, device evaluation, and system‑level testing.
If your project requires additional mechanical, industrial design, or broader team capacity, I collaborate with
trusted partners such as 5 Design & Development to scale appropriately while keeping a single technical point
of contact.
