IoT hardware development built for production

We handle IoT hardware development in between: the PCB, the firmware, and a build your manufacturer can actually run. Hardware engineers pair with firmware specialists on every build, so the board and the code are designed together, not handed off in pieces.

This is for you if these sound familiar.

Where are you right now?

01Concept stage

You have a device idea but no hardware team.

Supply chain management software is one of the categories where hardware sensors carry the real weight, and we handle IoT hardware development from the first block diagram, so the idea gets a real architecture first.


A device concept, engineered.

02Stuck at prototype

Works on the bench, not yet in the field.

A breadboard proof of concept is not a product. We rebuild the hardware and firmware so the device survives power constraints, interference, drop and dust exposure, and real manufacturing tolerances.


A prototype ready for real users.

03Reliability and scale

Devices fail in the field, support cannot keep up.

Connectivity drops, firmware updates go wrong, and every batch behaves a little differently. We audit the design and firmware together and build fleet monitoring that catches drift before it becomes a field failure.


Devices that hold up at volume.

What we build for smart devices

IoT hardware, from schematic to shipped device

Each piece below stands on its own. Bring us a finished schematic that needs firmware, or start from a blank page and let the same team carry the device through to manufacturing.

Hardware design & PCB layout

The engineering that decides if a board can be manufactured.

Schematic designComponent & BOM selectionPCB layoutPower and signal integrity

We design the schematic, select components against your cost and sourcing constraints, and lay out the PCB, the work that decides whether a board can actually be manufactured at the price you need.

Embedded firmware development

The code that drives sensors, actuators, and radios.

Low-level & driver firmwareProtocol integrationLonger battery lifeOTA update support

We write the firmware that drives sensors, actuators, and radios, and integrate the connectivity protocol your device actually needs, so the board and the code are designed against each other from the start.

Prototyping & production ready

The step most connected-device projects stall on.

Functional prototypingDesign for manufacturingEnvironmental compliance testManufacturing partner handoff

We build the functional prototype, then rework the design for manufacturing, the step most connected-device projects stall on, so your first production run is not also your first real test.

Device-to-cloud connectivity

The layer that turns sensor data into a product.

Gateway & edge integrationDevice provisioningCloud onboardingFleet monitoring hooks

We build the connectivity layer that gets sensor data off the device and into your platform, and custom application development turns that data into the dashboard or mobile experience your product already runs on.

Part of

our engineering practice, the team that turns plans into production software.

Why teams pick us for this.

A team that ships connected devices, not just diagrams

Shipped hardware, not just advice

Our engineers have carried connected-device hardware from schematic to a manufactured product, so what we design is buildable, not just tidy in a PDF.

Senior from the first call

You work with the engineers doing the design, not a junior team learning PCB layout on your budget.

We say when a design won't scale

If a component choice or a board layout will not survive manufacturing or the field, we say so before you commit to a production run, not after.

One team from PCB to cloud

The same people who design the board and write the firmware also build the connectivity layer, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between vendors.

How IoT hardware development runs

Senior hardware and firmware engineers from day one, pairing you with people who have carried a device from schematic to shipped product before, not an account manager relaying notes.

{ 01 }· Week 1

Map the device and constraints

We learn the device's job, its power budget, its environment, and the volume you plan to ship, so the architecture is scoped before any schematic gets drawn.

Design hardware and firmware

We design the schematic, select components, and plan the firmware and protocol stack side by side, so the board and the code are never designed in isolation.

Prototype, then harden design

We build the functional prototype, test it against real conditions, and rework the design for manufacturing in tested increments.

Hand off to production

We carry the design through to your manufacturing partner and stay on for firmware updates, field issues, and the next hardware revision.

FAQs for IoT hardware development

IoT hardware development is the design and build of the physical device: the schematic, the PCB, the firmware, and the connectivity that gets it talking to the rest of your product, with firmware and protocol choices designed in from the start rather than bolted on afterward.

Yes, most engagements start at exactly this stage: a prototype that works on the bench but hasn't been designed for manufacturing. We rework the schematic and layout for cost, sourcing, and production tolerances, then hand off a design your manufacturing partner can build at volume.

We build firmware for BLE, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, and MQTT-based connectivity, chosen against your device's power budget and range requirements rather than a default stack, whether the device sits in industrial or consumer IoT. We select the protocol during the architecture phase, before writing any firmware.

Cost is scoped after a short discovery call that maps the device's function, target volume, sourcing constraints, and any certifications it needs to pass. We agree the cost and the timeline together before any schematic work starts.

Usually yes, we audit the hardware and firmware together, since most field failures trace back to a power, signal, or firmware decision made early in the original build, not a manufacturing defect.
