Hardware Design & Prototyping
Protoworks bridges the gap between software logic and physical hardware. Custom PCB design, early-stage prototype assembly, and reliable firmware development are provided for connected devices and embedded systems.
Whether a project requires a proof-of-concept device to test a new product idea, a custom interface board to connect legacy equipment, or custom firmware for a microcontroller, practical, validated designs are delivered.
Capabilities & Focus
🛠️ PCB Layout & Design
Designing robust 4-layer stackups with solid ground plane foundations to minimize layout noise and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues during early-stage validation.
💻 Firmware Development
Writing structured, deterministic bare-metal or RTOS firmware for common architectures including ESP32, STM32, and RP2040, prioritizing reliability and efficient resource usage.
🔗 Systems Integration
Connecting physical sensors and actuators to cloud services, local databases, and operational dashboards to provide real-time visibility and control.
🔬 Bench Validation
Rigorous bench testing of power paths, thermal performance, and signal integrity to ensure early-stage designs are robust enough for developer testing.
