About Denotec

One team for the board, the firmware and the box.

An electronics and firmware practice run by the engineers who do the work, from a requirements document through to a pack a manufacturer can build from.

What we do

Denotec takes hardware from a requirements document to a production pack: schematic capture and multilayer layout, bare-metal and RTOS firmware, and the enclosure the boards have to survive. One team carries all three, so the trade-offs between them are made deliberately rather than discovered at integration.

Work runs in fixed-quote stages, each one ending in a named deliverable: a requirements document, a block diagram, built boards, a test report, a production pack. The client owns all of it. Schematics, layout source, firmware and test procedures hand over at the end of every stage, so a programme is never hostage to the people who built it.

Four commitments that decide how the work gets done.

01

The engineer answers the brief

You talk to the person at the bench. Requirements are not relayed through an account layer that has to ask someone else.

02

One team across the stack

Board, firmware and enclosure are decided together. There is no interface between suppliers for a problem to hide behind.

03

Feasibility before commitment

Architecture options, risk list and indicative BOM cost are settled in a fixed-fee stage, before anyone commits to a spin.

04

Written to be inherited

Source, documentation and test procedures are produced for the engineer who picks the project up next, whoever that turns out to be.
