NDA
Before technical detail
we can start under your NDA
One accountable team
The disciplines your brief requires
We define the architecture and interfaces against your requirements, then bring the agreed disciplines together under one delivery lead. Scope, partner-delivered operations, milestones and acceptance stay explicit.
Embedded 02
Embedded software
Device behaviour, drivers, diagnostics, communications, update strategy and production firmware developed against the agreed architecture.
Discuss this scope Cloud and data 03
Backend and integration
APIs, data pipelines, device management and integration with the customer-selected systems and data destination.
Discuss this scope Experience 04
Visualization and applications
Operator interfaces, dashboards and applications designed around users, decisions and documented system interfaces.
Discuss this scope Mechanics 05
Mechanical product design
Enclosures, interfaces, CAD and DFM coordinated with electronics, deployment constraints and the intended manufacturing route.
Discuss this scope Validation 06
Testing and certification support
Requirements-based verification, deployment-condition testing and, where scoped, design for certification plus coordination of tests and approvals.
Discuss this scope Industrialization 07
Production and handover
Sourcing, pilot builds, production tests, assembly planning and contracted design, source, test and production documentation.
Discuss this scopeTechnology stack
The technologies we deliver on
A modern stack with a bias toward open source. What we hand over runs on technologies your team can inspect, extend and hire for.
Embedded
Firmware and embedded Linux
Low-power firmware on current MCU families, plus embedded Linux builds tailored to the product.
- nRF54
- nRF91
- STM32
- Zephyr RTOS
- Rust Embassy
- Yocto Embedded Linux
Hardware
Electronics and mechanical design
Schematics and PCB layout in KiCad (open design files with no subscription lock-in), plus mechanical CAD and enclosure design in Fusion 360.
- KiCad
- Fusion 360
Backend
Backend and data
Services, APIs and data pipelines built for the customer-selected infrastructure and data destination.
- Go
- Python
- Django
- PostgreSQL
- Kubernetes
Frontend
Web applications
Operator interfaces and dashboards on mainstream web technologies your team can maintain.
- React.js
- Svelte
- Tailwind CSS
Mobile
Mobile applications
One maintained codebase for iOS and Android when a mobile companion is part of the brief.
- Flutter
Automation
CI/CD across the stack
Automated builds, tests and deployments from firmware to cloud keep every delivery reproducible.
- GitHub Actions
- GitLab CI
We prefer open-source technologies for the engineering work we deliver: your electronics design files stay in open KiCad formats, with no subscription lock-in.
Ownership and handover
Clear boundaries before development starts
The specification and contract define what is created for you, what is pre-existing or third-party, how acceptance works and what you receive at handover.
Customer-owned
Project-specific result
You own the agreed project-specific IP and receive the contracted design, source, test and production artifacts.
Defined upfront
Background technology
Pre-existing know-how, reusable tools, third-party and open-source components stay with their existing owners or applicable licenses.
Agreed together
Specification and acceptance
We turn the brief into documented requirements, milestones, assumptions, demonstrations and acceptance criteria that you approve.
Contract-defined
Production and lifecycle
Manufacturing, compliance, support, warranty, change control and lifecycle ownership are assigned explicitly for the chosen route.
Controlled delivery
From brief to handover
Each stage produces a decision, artifact or evidence for the next commitment. Commercial model, IP, acceptance and change control are settled before they become delivery risk.
-
01. Triage and NDA
We confirm that the need requires connected-product or multidisciplinary engineering and can sign your NDA before the first technical discussion.
-
02. Requirements review
We examine the product, users, outcome, current work, constraints, budget path, timing, compliance, production intent and ownership expectations.
-
03. Technical design or feasibility
We define enough architecture, specification, assumptions, risks, milestones and acceptance to support a responsible proposal.
-
04. Proposal and contract
We select time and material, fixed time and price, or a production-volume commitment basis and define scope, change control, deliverables and IP.
-
05. Development and demonstrations
The team works iteratively, showing working outputs and recording decisions, dependencies, risks and changes throughout delivery.
-
06. Validation and industrialization
We test against agreed requirements and prepare the scoped certification, pilot, sourcing, production-test and manufacturing workstreams.
-
07. Handover and lifecycle
We deliver contracted artifacts and training, then confirm licenses, manufacturing, support and roadmap responsibilities for the next stage.
Customer fit
Who this model is built for
Industry and geography do not replace fit. The strongest briefs have a product owner, a budget path, a real next milestone and a need for accountable multidisciplinary delivery.
-
OEM or established manufacturer
New connected product / Connected extension / Product-system change
-
Corporate product or R&D team
Specialist capacity / Delivery window / One accountable prime
-
Funded startup or scale-up
Named product owner / Credible funding / Bounded next stage
-
Industrial software or vertical-tech company
Bespoke physical device / Customer-owned product outcome
-
System integrator with a bespoke-device need
Active opportunity / Genuine custom design / Defined ownership
FAQ
The boundaries that protect delivery
Useful answers before we review your brief. The exact scope, ownership and obligations are always recorded in the proposal and contract.
What kind of brief fits HARDWARIO Engineering?
A connected product or multidisciplinary product or system that needs design or meaningful change across disciplines. A bounded physical prototype or standalone manufacture from a released package is a different service scope.
Who owns the result?
You own the agreed project-specific IP. The contract identifies customer foreground deliverables, pre-existing background technology, third-party and open-source components, licenses and transfer conditions before development starts.
What do we receive at handover?
The contract lists the design, source, test, production and training artifacts included in your scope. Acceptance, reproducibility, ongoing support and any licensed components are defined explicitly.
How can the project be commercialized?
We use time and material for evolving or uncertain work, fixed time and price when scope and acceptance are stable, or terms tied to a credible production-volume commitment. The suitable model follows requirements review.
Can you quote a fixed price immediately?
Only when the specification, acceptance criteria, dependencies, customer obligations and change-control process are stable. Otherwise we first use discovery or time and material to reduce uncertainty.
Can you guarantee certification?
No authority decision can be guaranteed. Where scoped, we design with certification in mind, arrange relevant tests and approvals, review evidence and address agreed remediation.
Can you continue into production?
Yes, where production is part of the Engineering development agreement or a production-volume commitment. Standalone supply from a released customer package requires a formal handoff to the appropriate manufacturing scope.
How do we start?
We can sign your NDA before the first technical discussion. We reply within two business days; the first consultation is non-binding and identifies fit, major unknowns and the smallest useful next step.
