Hardware and firmware as one
An embedded system only works well when hardware and firmware work together seamlessly. We design both under one roof, so pin assignments, interfaces, and timing are aligned from day one. No integration surprises, no finger-pointing between disciplines.
We design hardware and firmware as one system. From the start.
Reading sensors, signal conditioning and processing. From accelerometers to temperature, from analog to digital.
Control modules for machines and installations. Robust, reliable, designed for harsh environments.
Connected devices with BLE, Wi-Fi, or LTE. Collect data, process locally, and transmit securely.
Precision measurement instruments with high accuracy. From prototype to production.
Driving motors, actuators, and relays. From simple PWM to closed-loop control.
Systems with a display or touchscreen as part of the embedded design.
Hardware and firmware co-design
Together we define what the system needs to do. We bring hardware and firmware requirements into a single document: which sensors, which interfaces, how much memory, what power supply, what environmental conditions.
We choose the microcontroller, sensors, and other components based on the total system requirements, not just the hardware or just the firmware. This prevents running out of I/O, memory, or processing power after the fact.
Before the schematic is drawn, we define the pin assignment and bus architecture. Hardware engineer and firmware engineer at the same table. This eliminates the most common cause of PCB respins.
While the PCB is being laid out, firmware development starts on a devkit or previous revision. By the time the first prototypes arrive, the firmware is ready to flash.
Hardware and firmware are tested together. Not just "does the chip work" but "does the system do what it needs to do." Including edge cases, timing, and EMC behavior.
You receive a working system: PCB design, firmware source code, documentation, and production-ready files. Everything you need to continue independently.
Jitter B.V. has been developing complete embedded systems for over ten years: from PCB design to firmware and everything in between. Our engineers handle both the hardware and the firmware, which means we prevent problems at the boundary between the two rather than fixing them after the fact. We put that experience to work for your project.
