Independent design house Cluj-Napoca, Romania
We design PCBs, custom System-on-Modules, carrier boards and the RF and power electronics around them — for connected industrial, edge-AI and unmanned systems. Vendor-neutral, because we have no module catalog to sell you.

Services
Most embedded products need hardware, RF, power and enough firmware to prove the board works. Split across four suppliers, integration problems become nobody's problem.
Any idea, brought to reality. Feasibility through prototype to a product you can manufacture.
From blank sheet to fabrication package — including the high-speed work most shops sub-contract.
The whole board: silicon selection, architecture, schematic, layout, RF, power and bring-up under one accountability.
SMARC, OSM and LGA modules designed end to end — pin-out definition, DDR fly-by routing, power tree, fabrication package.
The board your module plugs into: evaluation kits, adapters, and production carriers.
When there is no room for connectors and no tolerance for a harness that shakes loose.
Getting the radio to work on a crowded board — LoRa, Wi-Fi 6, cellular, GNSS and RTK.
Rails that hold under load, batteries that report honestly, and shutdowns that don't corrupt storage.
First power-on to a booting board — then the firmware that makes the hardware demonstrable.
Most EMC failures are designed in months before the chamber. This is the work that prevents them.
An independent read of your design before you spend money on it being wrong.
Recovering a board nobody has source files for — and rebuilding it so you own it.
Selected work
Anonymized case studies describing what was actually hard and what we decided — not a list of technologies.
Hero: Altium 3D render of the rigid-flex assembly in its folded, installed geometry. A flat board render sells none of the difficulty.
Teardown, clean-room re-implementation, and a rigid-flex carrier that fits inside a launch tube.
Hero: system architecture diagram as a clean vector drawing, not a photo. Sensors on the left, compute in the middle, bandwidth figures on the arrows. This case study's value is the thinking, so show the thinking.
Three architectures compared on real bandwidth budgets, so the platform decision was made on evidence rather than TOPS figures.
Defense & dual-use
European defense procurement is expanding faster than the supplier base can absorb, and the constraint is engineers who have delivered flying hardware. UAV avionics, autopilot carrier boards, flight-controller re-implementation and maritime autonomy.
Why arcane
No account manager between you and the people designing your board. The engineer who answers your question is the one who routed the DDR.
Where a program needs specialisms we do not carry in-house — mechanical design, certification testing, FPGA RTL — we bring in vetted partners under our accountability rather than handing you another contract to manage.
Design houses that sell modules recommend the modules they sell. We have no catalog, so the trade study is real: Renesas RZ, ST, NXP i.MX, TI AM62 — whichever fits your interface list, thermal envelope, longevity requirement and unit cost.
Occasionally the honest answer is "buy off the shelf, don't build this." That answer is free.
Full transfer of everything we produce — native source files, not just outputs. EU-based, EU jurisdiction, GDPR-clean, no offshore handover gap.
Central European time. Project communication in English, Romanian or German — DACH clients get technical reviews in German and a short flight.
Capabilities
The short version. The full capability sheet covers interfaces, RF, power, sensors, compliance and manufacturing.
How we work
You get a task-level estimate in person-days before work starts — not a range, and not a surprise at invoice time.
Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson. NDA signed first if you want one.
Fixed-price. Architecture, budgets, risk register and a written recommendation you own either way.
Schematic, layout, fabrication package, then bring-up and a validation report.
Designed for from the start; testing through an accredited house, with fast turnaround on findings.
DFM, panelization, test strategy, and full IP transfer with native source files.
Recent bench notes
Most CRA guidance is written for software teams. The decisions that actually bind are hardware ones, and you make them before layout.
ReadConnector or solder-down. The decision is mechanical and logistical long before it is electrical.
ReadConnect a live supply to bulk capacitance and the wiring inductance rings. The overshoot can approach 2× — briefly, invisibly, and fatally.
ReadYou talk to the engineer who would do the work. Reply within one business day, and we’ll sign your NDA before you go into detail.
