Engineering,
on demand.

Whether you're starting with a rough sketch or a detailed spec, I handle the full electrical design: schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware, prototyping, and testing. You work directly with me the whole way.

Circuit design

I have the experience to design and produce any mixed-signal design. I work closely with you on your requirements and we brainstorm together to take a viable design from proof of concept to a working product, covering WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, sensor integration and signal conditioning, and battery management and power systems.

Printed circuit board design

Designing an electrically sound, manufacturable PCB is crucial. I have 15+ years of experience with multi-layer, mixed-signal PCB layouts. I also know how to think three-dimensionally when space is critical.

Firmware development

Most modern designs call for elegant control of user-facing buttons and LEDs. To maximize user-friendliness, embedded software (firmware) may be necessary to drive the desired user control. Embedded software may also control an entire system, from negotiating wireless technologies (WiFi, Bluetooth) to precisely controlling electro-mechanical functions.

Prototyping and assembly

In most products, there are several electrical parts that make up the entire product, from power supply selection to user-interface components to wire harness design. I can design the entire electrical system and all of its sub-components to seamlessly create a cohesive product.

Testing

Once the fabrication of the first prototype is complete, the design enters the testing phase. I test and tune individual subsystems for optimal functionality.

Already have a prototype and need help getting it to mass production? I help teams make the leap: de-risking the design, cutting cost, and preparing everything the factory needs.

Design for manufacturing (DFM)

I design with mass production in mind from the start. With this mindset we can limit the design cycles and get your product to market faster.

Technical documentation

To reproduce any design, there needs to be good documentation. I create documentation following any standard, and I also clean up documentation that needs to be prepared for a contract manufacturer.

Production support

There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to production. I have the expertise to support the production of your product from manufacturing package hand-off to the first units off the line.

Test fixture development and fabrication

A robust test fixture is just as important as the product it's testing. I take a modern approach to designing test fixtures to maximize your production yield of good parts.

Hardware consulting

I'm experienced working with teams of all disciplines to design and engineer cohesive systems. The value of a good design review is immense and can save real time and money. I'm happy to get involved.

Some projects don't fit a mold. I support one-off builds and custom installations for artists, makers, and boutique companies, with a full in-house shop to make it real.

Specific-use fixtures and products

During development of any product, individual tests occasionally arise. Some tests are complex, and I'm here to offload the development-specific ones with purpose-built fixtures.

2D and 3D rapid prototyping

I have in-house laser cutting, CNC machining, and 3D printing for when integration calls for more than just electronics.

Electronic fabrication and installations

Whether you're an artist with a grand idea that requires electronics to realize your vision, or a boutique theme park design company requiring electrical integration, I can help you seamlessly integrate electronics into your project.

Electronic repair

I thrive on problem solving and applying my electrical knowledge to fix issues that need a special focus, such as CNC repair, tool repair, and toy repair.
