Engineering Services

Robust systems development from concept through to production

Service Areas

Overview

Dagny Labs provides engineering services across the full product development lifecycle — from initial concept exploration through to production systems.

The practice spans hardware and software disciplines, with particular depth in areas where these domains intersect: embedded systems, FPGA-based signal processing, and instrumentation platforms.

The approach emphasises thorough upfront engineering to reduce downstream risk. Complex systems benefit from careful architecture decisions, comprehensive design validation, and realistic assessment of what is achievable within project constraints. This methodology stems from experience where first-pass success matters — PCB respins and late timing failures cost time and money that proper engineering avoids.

Engagement Models

Projects range from focused consulting engagements — design reviews, architecture guidance, debugging assistance — through to complete product development. The appropriate scope depends on your internal capabilities, timeline, and project requirements.

Hardware Development

Electronics design services cover schematic development, PCB layout, and component selection for systems ranging from simple microcontroller boards through complex mixed-signal designs. High-speed digital interfaces, RF circuits, and power systems receive appropriate attention to signal integrity and EMC compliance.

FPGA development addresses applications requiring computational throughput beyond what microprocessors can deliver — real-time signal processing, high-speed data acquisition, and custom interfaces. Experience spans Xilinx/AMD platforms from Artix through UltraScale+ families, as well as Altera/Intel and Microsemi with emphasis on systems that integrate DSP, memory interfaces, and peripheral logic.

Software & Firmware

Embedded development spans bare-metal firmware through embedded Linux on FPGA SoCs. The focus includes the hardware-software boundary — AXI fabric integration, device drivers, register interfaces, and the low-level software that bridges custom hardware to applications.

DSP design capabilities extend from algorithm modelling through optimised implementations on embedded processors and FPGAs.

Web application development supports product dashboards, data visualisation, and backend systems that complement hardware products through to hosted custom applications.

AI application services address practical integration of AI tooling into engineering workflows and business automation.
