Working closely with many customers our engineers are fully able to integrate into customer’s HW System design and verification teams or take full ownership of a HW Design project.
Our expertise covers:
HW System design:
- High speed digital electronics including μController, processor, DSP and FPGA architectures
- Analog electronics
- RF electronics
- Power electronics
HW Verification/validation
- HW Verification
- Post-silicon characterization/validation
PROCESS
Scope of work covered by our teams:
Project management and planning area
- Project management by using PMI methodology/waterfall
- Project management using Agile methodology
Development
- Fully requirements driven development process from requirements capture phase to HW verification/validation phase
- Requirements traceability during whole development lifecycle
- Analysis of complex tasks, development of solution concepts and creation of product specifications
- Specification and creation of schematic designs according to international regulations
- Evaluation of new circuit concepts and components using computational tools and simulation tools
- Development and commissioning of PCBAs
- PCB layout design using different tools like:
-
- Cadence Allegro,
- Cadence OrCAD and
- Altium Designer
-
- Signal integrity verification using Cadence Sigrity
- Development, evaluation and implementation of EMC concepts in compliance with EMC guidelines for robust design
- EMC testing (both pre-compliance and compliance)
- Circuit design and product design considering FMEDA and FMEA analysis
- Support the Embedded Software development team in requirements and specifications
- FPGA development and verification
HW Verification area
- Support/execute product verification by defining/design/execute verification tests and assessing test results
- Create test criteria and test specifications for validation and production
- Post-silicon validation
- Post-silicon characterization
Documentation area
- Create product-relevant development and production documentation
