Engineering Process

R&D Methodology

Our systems engineering workflow follows a four-phase approach that ensures rigorous validation at every stage of development.

PHASE 01: REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

Specification & Feasibility

Every project begins with comprehensive requirement gathering, constraint analysis, and technical feasibility assessment. We conduct detailed literature reviews, analyze existing solutions, and define clear, measurable specifications.

KEY ACTIVITIES:

  • → Stakeholder requirement documentation
  • → Technical constraint identification
  • → Component availability analysis
  • → Cost and timeline estimation
  • → Risk assessment and mitigation planning
PHASE 02: CIRCUIT SIMULATION

Design & Modeling

Using industry-standard EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools, we create detailed circuit models and perform SPICE-level simulations to validate electrical characteristics before physical implementation.

KEY ACTIVITIES:

  • → Schematic capture in CAD software
  • → Component selection and parametric analysis
  • → Power consumption modeling
  • → Signal integrity verification
  • → Thermal analysis and heat dissipation
PHASE 03: PCB DESIGN

Layout & Fabrication

Multi-layer PCB design with attention to impedance control, EMI/EMC compliance, and manufacturability. We follow IPC standards for professional-grade board layouts.

KEY ACTIVITIES:

  • → Component placement optimization
  • → High-speed signal routing
  • → Power and ground plane design
  • → Design Rule Check (DRC) validation
  • → Gerber file generation and review
PHASE 04: FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT

Software Integration

Embedded software development using C/C++, hardware abstraction layers (HAL), and real-time operating systems (RTOS). Comprehensive testing and debugging protocols ensure robust operation.

KEY ACTIVITIES:

  • → Peripheral driver development
  • → Communication protocol implementation
