# 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.
