Hardware Development
From concept to validated hardware, Apexerra supports your entire development process—or just the stages where you need additional expertise. We work alongside your team to develop new products, improve existing designs, and resolve complex engineering challenges.
Hardware design
System architecture, component selection, schematic design, and PCB layout.
Simulation and analysis
Circuit simulation and worst-case circuit analysis (WCCA) to evaluate performance across component tolerances and operating conditions.
Prototyping and testing
Prototype builds, board bring-up, debugging, and functional testing.
Risk and validation
Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), validation planning, and test execution.
Design reviews
Independent assessments of performance, reliability, manufacturability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Embedded Software Development
Bring your hardware to life with reliable, production-ready firmware tailored to your product requirements. Apexerra supports both new development and existing systems—from low-level drivers and board bring-up to application software, hardware–software integration, and system validation.
Firmware development
Low-level microcontroller programming, peripheral drivers, real-time application software, control algorithms, and model-based development.
Device communication
Sensor and actuator integration using interfaces and protocols such as I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, and Ethernet.
Hardware–software integration
Board bring-up, peripheral configuration, driver integration, hardware abstraction layers, timing and interrupt management, communication troubleshooting, and end-to-end system integration.
System debugging and verification
Root-cause analysis of hardware–software issues, signal and data-path troubleshooting, interface validation, and coordinated debugging across firmware, electronics, and test equipment.
Testing and optimization
Functional verification, integration testing, performance profiling, resource optimization, reliability improvements, and refinement of existing firmware.
Development support
Technical documentation, code reviews, design reviews, integration planning, and support through prototype development and product validation.
Test & Tester Development
Turn product requirements into practical test solutions. Apexerra designs and builds custom testers and test setups, and develops validation plans to help your team evaluate performance, identify issues, and verify that your product meets its requirements. We can support the complete test development process or specific stages of your project.
Custom tester development
Design and build functional testers, test fixtures, and supporting hardware and software tailored to your product and test requirements.
Test setups and integration
Develop bench and automated test setups, integrating instrumentation, wiring harnesses, interfaces, and data acquisition for repeatable measurements.
Validation planning
Develop Design Verification Plans and Reports (DVP&R), including test methods, acceptance criteria, equipment needs, and results documentation aligned with product requirements.
Test execution and troubleshooting
Support prototype testing, functional verification, and system validation, with data collection and investigation of test failures.
Documentation and handoff
Provide test procedures, setup instructions, and reports to support ongoing development and repeatable testing.
