An Engineering Process Built Around Evidence

Projects move from a defined application and architecture through development, validation and production transfer.

How a project proceeds

  1. 01

    Define

    Application, interfaces, performance targets and constraints.

  2. 02

    Architect

    System partitioning, component selection and technical risk review.

  3. 03

    Develop

    Hardware, FPGA logic, power architecture and prototype implementation.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Bring-up, interface verification, functional testing and issue closure.

  5. 05

    Transfer

    Manufacturing outputs, sourcing coordination and production support.

Project entry points

  • New product architecture
  • Existing design review
  • Interface or performance issue
  • Prototype bring-up
  • Design transfer or production support

Typical engagement outputs

  • Architecture definition
  • Schematic and PCB package
  • FPGA implementation
  • Prototype hardware
  • Validation records
  • Manufacturing documentation
Layout when in scope Typical PCB layout takes 5–10 working days after schematic, stack-up, and mechanical inputs are complete. Boards with many high-pin-count devices need extra layout time.
Prototype SMT Prototype SMT through Shenzhen manufacturing partners is typically about 7 days after files and parts are ready.
01

Requirement Definition

Customer inputs

Application, interfaces, performance targets, schedule, volume and NDA needs.

Engineering work

Scope framing, risk list and agreement on what is in architecture vs. later phases.

Review checkpoint

Written requirement summary signed off before architecture work expands.

Deliverables

Requirement record, open-question list and NDA / transfer plan when needed.

02

Feasibility & Architecture

Customer inputs

Constraints on cost, devices, mechanics, firmware ownership and validation depth.

Engineering work

Block diagram, bandwidth and power tree, device shortlist and technical risk register.

Review checkpoint

Architecture review before schematic or FPGA RTL starts.

Deliverables

Architecture pack, device direction and development plan.

03

Component Selection

Customer inputs

AVL preferences, lifecycle limits and any forbidden vendors.

Engineering work

Availability, lifecycle, electrical fit and second-source notes — not a partnership claim.

Review checkpoint

BOM direction review on long-lead and high-risk parts.

Deliverables

Device list with rationale and open AVL items.

04

Hardware / FPGA Development

Customer inputs

Interface timing, algorithm notes and source-code delivery preference.

Engineering work

Schematics, FPGA pipeline work, clocking, memory control and design reviews.

Review checkpoint

Schematic / RTL review before layout freeze.

Deliverables

Schematics, FPGA deliverables per contract, review notes.

05

PCB Layout & Design Review

Customer inputs

Mechanical envelope, stack-up targets and fabricator constraints.

Engineering work

Cadence Allegro layout, constraints, BGA/DDR/SerDes routing, DRC and DFM.

Review checkpoint

Layout review before manufacturing outputs leave engineering.

Deliverables

Allegro database, Gerber/ODB package and DFM notes.

PCB placement and DFM review drawing.
Layout and DFM review sit after architecture and schematic freeze.
06

Prototype Build

Customer inputs

Released BOM, quantity and any consigned parts.

Engineering work

Coordination with qualified manufacturing partners in Shenzhen for PCB, SMT and assembly.

Review checkpoint

Build package confirmed with partners before fab and SMT release.

Deliverables

Assembled prototypes when fabrication is in scope.

Assembled prototype PCB.
Prototype builds are coordinated with manufacturing partners in Shenzhen.
07

Bring-Up & Validation

Customer inputs

Acceptance tests, golden samples and lab access if required.

Engineering work

Power-on, interface lock, image or power checks and issue log.

Review checkpoint

Validation report against the agreed test list — not a claim of full certification.

Deliverables

Bring-up notes, issue list and recommended next step.

08

Manufacturing Transfer

Customer inputs

Pilot quantity, quality gates and change-control contact.

Engineering work

File freeze, supplier coordination and controlled pilot with manufacturing partners.

Review checkpoint

Pilot review before any volume commitment.

Deliverables

Release package and transfer notes. Volume ownership stays with the agreed factory partners.
