Electronics design & consultancy · Madrid
Independent PCB design, embedded firmware and product development for medical devices, spectrophotometry and analytical instruments.
What I do
Schematic capture, multi-layer layout, EMC-aware routing, mixed-signal and high-density designs.
C and C++ on STM32 and adjacent platforms. BLE, RF, NFC, RS485, 4–20 mA, cloud integration.
Spectrophotometry, transmission-based measurement, medical and analytical instrument electronics.
Design for manufacture, test protocols, transition from prototype to production volume.
How it works
01
Scope, constraints, target standards and budget defined together.
02
Architecture, schematic capture, board layout and firmware development.
03
Bring-up on the bench, iteration, performance validation.
