Consider the benefits of Out-Sourcing:

• On-demand staffing, allow your organization to meet dynamic resource staffing requirements.
• Reduce overhead, add seasoned engineering staff that can hit the ground running and provide support upon project completion.
• Bring new technologies into your company, gain a fresh perspective from outside the box.
• Accelerate time to market, it’s like freeing up your best engineers from sustaining and other overhead distractions. You get a focused group of highly talented engineers.
• Design transfer through training and a complete documentation package including version control.
• Tap into our 37 years of industry expertise.

Skill Sets:

• Our combined hardware and software design expertise enables us to optimize your product from a system level viewpoint. Our philosophy is to create re-usable building blocks, allowing your organization to build multiple products from a re-usable baseline design. We target lowest cost, technology that fits the requirement, quality by design, building IP.
• High and low level software development: Assembler, C, C++, Java, Perl, HTML.
• Assembly language programming for numerous processors ranging from 4-bit up to 32-bit.
• High level system architecture design of real time operating systems using C++,  Java and Object-Oriented-Design methodologies.
• SW for communications including networking, data modems, protocols, implementing OSI.
• SW for process control and real time control.
• Design of device drivers with abstract interfaces to real devices for enhanced portability.
• Confidence and validation test suites, these aid system integration by eliminating hardware functionality as an unknown.
• Problem solving, first time board bring up and trouble shooting.
• Design and testing for ElectroMagnetic Compliance (EMI, EFT, ESD, RFI).
• FCC part 68, part 15 class A/B, CISPR 22B.
• Portable designs, power management, power supplies, battery and charging systems, data acquisition, telco DAA, security and encryption, state machines, interface circuits, LCD and VFD displays, power supervisors, microcontrollers.
• Circuit analysis, simulation and component derating for reliability.
• Working with industrial designers and mechanical engineers to optimize hardware packaging for size, ergonomics, manufacturability and cost.
• Layout of pcb's to minimize emissions and increase robustness to electromagnetic interference.

Design tools:

• ViewLogic WorkView for schematics, verilog, digital simulation, conversion to any format
• PADS PowerPCB for pcb layout
• Synapticad TestBencher Pro for timing analysis
