Product engineering · Shenzhen
The engineering behind your next device.
A Shenzhen hardware team. We design across four silicon tiers — MCU, WiFi/Bluetooth SoC, NPU-equipped Linux SoC and display driver — with FAE support direct from the chip makers, and the apps, mini programs and server come attached rather than subcontracted.
- Hardware first
- Schematic, PCB layout, structure and tooling are ours. A software house cannot do this part.
- Four silicon tiers
- MCU through NPU-class Linux SoC, domestic and overseas parts.
- Direct vendor FAE
- Escalation reaches the people who wrote the SDK.
- Software attached
- App, mini program and server built by the same team, so no one gets to point at the other side.
Silicon coverage
Four compute tiers, no vendor lock-in
From NPU-equipped Linux application processors down to motor-control MCUs, we design across every tier these products need — on both domestic and overseas silicon. Chip selection follows your cost, supply and certification constraints, not the one part we happen to know.
Linux SoC with NPU
0.5 – 16 TOPSOn-device AI, vision and video
Application processors with an integrated NPU, 0.5 to 16 TOPS depending on what has to stay local. At the 0.5–1 TOPS end: pet and object detection, human presence and behaviour analysis, wake word and speech recognition, alongside the ISP, H.264/H.265 encode and multi-camera MIPI input. From roughly 6 TOPS a quantised small language model runs on the device, which is what an offline fallback is actually made of, and at 16 TOPS multi-stream vision and a local model can share the part. Picking the tier is a cost decision as much as a technical one — more NPU than the product uses is money spent on the datasheet.

WiFi / Bluetooth SoC
Connectivity and audioConnectivity and audio
WiFi SoCs for provisioning, streaming and cloud links; Bluetooth SoCs for BLE sensors, dual-mode and audio. These run an RTOS in a few hundred KB of RAM, so pairing reliability, OTA, power budget and the audio front-end are firmware problems rather than OS problems — and firmware is where most connected products actually fail.

MCU
Control, motors and powerControl, motors and power
Motor control, sensor sampling, charging and power sequencing. The unglamorous tier that decides whether a feeder jams, a dryer overheats, or a device wakes reliably at 2% battery.

Display driver

Panel selection, driver IC bring-up, touch integration and colour calibration. Screen quality is what a retail buyer judges in three seconds, so we treat the display chain as its own discipline.

Direct vendor FAE support
We work with silicon vendors directly, not through a design house or a distributor. A stubborn bug gets escalated to the people who wrote the SDK, new parts reach us at sampling stage, and pricing has one less layer in it.
What we develop
Five directions
Sensing, on-device inference, wireless and power are the same four problems in a different housing. These are the categories our engineering is built around — each page names the part that actually decides whether a project ships.

Capabilities
A hardware team that also writes the software
Most teams sit on one side of this line. A software house cannot lay out a board or cut a mould; a factory that can usually subcontracts the firmware and the app. When a device will not pair, that split is where a project stalls — each side reports their part works. Here it is one team, so the question is just what to fix.
Hardware & structure
Schematic, PCB layout, ID/MD and tooling design. DFM review before a mould is cut.
Firmware & algorithms
Low-power firmware, PPG and motion algorithms, far-field audio, on-device vision models.
App, mini program & server
iOS, Android, WeChat and Alipay mini programs, plus the cloud platform behind them — device provisioning, OTA and the admin console.
Compliance planning
We map the certification path for your market at the brief stage, so it runs alongside tooling.
How we work
From brief to production
- 01
Brief & feasibility
Target market, price band, certifications. We return a platform recommendation and a cost envelope.
- 02
Design & prototype
Schematic, layout, structure and a working prototype to prove the concept.
- 03
Tooling & validation
Tooling alongside certification. EVT and DVT gates with reports at each.
- 04
Production
Built at a vetted partner line under our engineering supervision and test plan.
