Design Electrical Engineering
Our engineers plan for housing fit, clean cable routing, thermal safety and long-term test stability.
We support full PCBA design, schematic capture and layouts so we can help ship real products that work.
Rugged and regulated
Designed for thermal, EMI and environmental performance
Production-ready
Test points, programming ports and fixture integration built in
Smart system integration
Power, layout and performance tuned to real-world constraints
Good electrical design isn’t just about the circuit. It’s about knowing how that board will behave inside a housing, under vibration and in a test fixture. We solve with the whole system in mind.

Services and capabilities
Electrical engineering design
Battery systems and BMS development
We engineer battery systems for safety and performance. This includes custom LiFePO₄ pack design, protection circuits and BMS logic integrated with onboard diagnostics and system control.
Design for test and production
We build validation into the hardware. That means test points, programming headers, fixture-friendly layouts, and schematic layout choices that support smooth production, line-side programming and automated testing.
EMI and EMC compliant design
We design systems that meet EMI and EMC standards such as MIL-STD-461, FCC Part 15 and IEC 61000. Grounding strategies, trace layout and cable shielding are all considered to improve first-pass test success.
Embedded computing platform design
We develop embedded systems on ARM architectures. Designs support bare-metal and embedded Linux operation with attention to fast boot, I/O performance and expansion support.
High-speed interface design
We support fast, high-throughput protocols that demand careful attention to signal integrity.
Interfaces we’ve designed include:
- USB 3.1 / 3.2 / SuperSpeed (10G)
- 10G Ethernet
- PCIe
- MIPI / CSI
High-power system design
From power supplies to motor controllers, we design systems that move energy efficiently and safely. We account for thermal behavior, voltage fluctuations and physical routing in every build.
PCBA design for analog, digital and mixed signal systems
We design printed circuit boards that meet real-world requirements for signal integrity, voltage stability and system performance. Whether it's an analog sensor front end or a high-speed digital interface, we balance layout, noise control, and component selection for reliable operation.
Tools used:
Altium Designer, Fusion 360 (Eagle)
OrCAD, PADS, KiCad
Pre-compliance support and EMI troubleshooting
Early-stage testing helps avoid surprises. We simulate interference sources, check layout integrity and assist with issue resolution before lab submission.
Production test interface and electrical validation
Every unit needs consistent testing. We design electrical interfaces for firmware flashing and traceable validation across builds to support quality assurance and field reliability.
Rugged design for regulated environments
Our boards are built to survive. We account for ingress protection, temperature swings, shock and vibration and long-term reliability from the start. This is the foundation of our work in defense, industrial and mission-critical systems.
Secure and classified applications
We’ve supported tamper-resistant electronics, encrypted memory integration, and secure hardware architecture for defense and law enforcement systems. These builds include traceable design elements to meet internal review and external compliance.
Projects
Electrical engineering product design
Our electrical engineers design printed circuit boards and embedded systems that perform reliably in harsh, regulated and high-power environments. From EMI-sensitive builds to secure battery platforms, we develop rugged hardware that survives vibration, temperature shifts and scrutiny in the lab and the field.
Ethernet Adapter Cable
Designed to perform reliably in high-stress and electronically noisy environments.
Pressure Regulating Controller
After our review of the initial design revealed vulnerabilities, we helped redesign, test for extremes and pass certification.
Smart Water Heater
A water heater with built-in connectivity that requires no plug-in or installation changes.
Military and Aerospace Battery
A battery system with smarter protection and more stable power delivery.
CAN Controller
How we helped modernize a much-loved CAN controller for the next generation of machines.
BolaWrap
A restraint tool designed to prevent harm in the moment and hold up in the aftermath.
Heat Pump
An ammonia and water-based refrigerant system to heat homes more efficiently.
Javelin Biometric Scanner
How we built a compact system to capture iris and fingerprints securely in high-risk environments.
