Your product one accountable team

Turn your connected-product or multidisciplinary product brief into a validated, manufacturable product. You keep the product decisions and own the agreed project-specific IP.

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.

Electronics01

Electronics and PCB design

Analogue and digital design, power, sensing, interfaces and suitable wired or wireless connectivity, followed by prototypes and design verification.

Discuss this scope
Embedded02

Embedded software

Device behaviour, drivers, diagnostics, communications, update strategy and production firmware developed against the agreed architecture.

Discuss this scope
Cloud and data03

Backend and integration

APIs, data pipelines, device management and integration with the customer-selected systems and data destination.

Discuss this scope
Experience04

Visualization and applications

Operator interfaces, dashboards and applications designed around users, decisions and documented system interfaces.

Discuss this scope
Mechanics05

Mechanical product design

Enclosures, interfaces, CAD and DFM coordinated with electronics, deployment constraints and the intended manufacturing route.

Discuss this scope
Validation06

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
Industrialization07

Production and handover

Sourcing, pilot builds, production tests, assembly planning and contracted design, source, test and production documentation.

Technology 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

  • nRF54
  • nRF91
  • STM32
  • Zephyr RTOS
  • Rust Embassy
  • Yocto Embedded Linux

Low-power firmware on current MCU families, plus embedded Linux builds tailored to the product.

Hardware

Electronics design in KiCad

  • KiCad

Schematics and PCB layout in open design files you can open, review and manufacture anywhere — no subscription lock-in.

Backend

Backend and data

  • Go
  • Python
  • Django
  • PostgreSQL
  • Kubernetes

Services, APIs and data pipelines built for the customer-selected infrastructure and data destination.

Frontend

Web applications

  • React.js
  • Svelte

Operator interfaces and dashboards on mainstream web technologies your team can maintain.

Mobile

Mobile applications

  • Flutter

One maintained codebase for iOS and Android when a mobile companion is part of the brief.

Automation

CI/CD across the stack

  • CI/CD

Automated builds, tests and deployments from firmware to cloud keep every delivery reproducible.

We prefer open-source technologies for the engineering work we deliver: your product keeps open toolchains and design files — not vendor subscriptions.

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.

Project-specific resultCustomer-owned

You own the agreed project-specific IP and receive the contracted design, source, test and production artifacts.

Background technologyDefined upfront

Pre-existing know-how, reusable tools, third-party and open-source components stay with their existing owners or applicable licenses.

Specification and acceptanceAgreed together

We turn the brief into documented requirements, milestones, assumptions, demonstrations and acceptance criteria that you approve.

Production and lifecycleContract-defined

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Requirements review

    We examine the product, users, outcome, current work, constraints, budget path, timing, compliance, production intent and ownership expectations.

  3. 03

    Technical design or feasibility

    We define enough architecture, specification, assumptions, risks, milestones and acceptance to support a responsible proposal.

  4. 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.

  5. 05

    Development and demonstrations

    The team works iteratively, showing working outputs and recording decisions, dependencies, risks and changes throughout delivery.

  6. 06

    Validation and industrialization

    We test against agreed requirements and prepare the scoped certification, pilot, sourcing, production-test and manufacturing workstreams.

  7. 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.
