FPGA, Cloud & Engineering Software Tools
HDL work, hardware acceleration, AWS and Azure platforms for device fleets, DevOps, and the internal tools that make an engineering team faster.
Based in Manchester · working across the UK · fixed-scope engagements
Some problems are only solvable in fabric. Others are only solvable by giving the team a better tool. Both tend to be postponed until they are urgent, and both are cheaper to address before that point.
What the work is
HDL design and verification
RTL development with a testbench that means something, so that a change late in a programme is not a gamble.
Hardware acceleration
Moving signal and image processing into fabric where the latency or throughput requirement cannot be met in software.
Interface and protocol implementation
Bus interfaces, sensor front-ends and timing-critical protocol logic implemented where the timing can actually be guaranteed.
Test rigs and internal tooling
The fixture that turns a two-hour manual test into a two-minute automated one. Rarely on a roadmap, frequently the highest-return work available.
Build and CI for hardware-adjacent teams
Pipelines that handle firmware artefacts, hardware-in-the-loop tests and long build times, rather than assuming a pure software project.
Cloud and DevOps for connected devices
The AWS or Azure side of a device fleet: ingest, device identity and provisioning, OTA update services, telemetry and the dashboards operators actually use. Infrastructure as code, CI/CD and the on-call runbook, built by the same engineers who understand what the device is sending.
Where an engagement usually starts
For acceleration work, a feasibility assessment on whether the requirement is achievable in your target device and what resources it would consume. For tooling and cloud work, usually a short discovery on where the team actually loses time or where the platform is costing more than it should.
What we do not do
We do not take on ASIC design. Our FPGA work is at the board and system level, not silicon.

Bring us the challenge
The one that has been handed back, sits between two suppliers, or nobody can say is possible yet. A short call costs you nothing and you will speak to one of our consultants.
