From requirements to series production: my workflow

Every project I take on follows roughly the same arc. The discipline is what keeps complex hardware from becoming chaotic.

1. Requirements & feasibility

Before a single component is chosen, I translate the request into measurable requirements and check feasibility — power budget, interfaces, certifications.

2. Architecture & schematic

I split the system into clean functional blocks, choose the microcontroller and interfaces, and design analog and digital circuits with manufacturing in mind.

3. Prototype & bring-up

The first board is where theory meets reality. Commissioning, verification and systematic failure analysis turn a prototype into a trustworthy platform.

4. Firmware, tools & test automation

Alongside the firmware I build the engineering and diagnostic tools that make configuration, data acquisition and automated testing repeatable.

5. Validation & production readiness

Finally, close coordination with production and quality assurance closes the loop — so the design survives contact with the factory floor.
