Electrical engineering + software development contracting

We ship embedded firmware that actually works.
First time. Every time.

Flatiron Designs specializes in embedded systems: bare-metal bring‑up, RTOS implementation, device drivers, peripheral integration, and power optimization. You get engineers who read datasheets for fun and debug with logic analyzers, not hope.

Parody marketing. Serious engineering.

Bare Metal
From bootloader to RTOS. No abstraction excuses.
Real Hardware
Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG. The right tools.
Production Ready
Power budgets. Timing. Memory. Ship it.

About

We're the contractor you call when the project needs someone who can read schematics and API traces without pretending it's two different realities.

Firmware Obsessed

We live in datasheets, HAL documentation, and oscilloscope screenshots. Your MCU will behave.

Real-Time Discipline

Deterministic timing. Interrupt priorities. Stack analysis. We measure, we profile, we ship.

Production Minded

Memory footprint. Power consumption. Thermal limits. Manufacturing test hooks. We think ahead.

Work

Selected examples (anonymized). Replace these with your real wins when you’re ready to brag responsibly.

Over-the-top project meeting illustration

The Hype Meeting™

We arrive with diagrams, timelines, and the rarest artifact of all: clarity.

  • Define scope (then defend it)
  • Make a plan (then ship it)
  • Instrument everything (then sleep)
Embedded + RTOS

Motor control system

Real-time motor control with sensor fusion, PID tuning, and deterministic response.

  • FreeRTOS task architecture + interrupt prioritization
  • ADC + PWM peripheral config for closed-loop control
  • CAN bus communication + diagnostic protocol
Bare Metal

Low-power sensor node

Battery-powered sensor with sub-µA sleep modes and efficient wake-on-event.

  • Bootloader + HAL bring-up from scratch
  • Power state machine + peripheral gating
  • SPI sensor interface + data buffering
Device Drivers

Custom peripheral integration

High-speed data acquisition with DMA, circular buffers, and reliable USB streaming.

  • DMA + interrupt-driven data pipeline
  • USB device class implementation (CDC + custom)
  • Timing analysis + buffer overflow prevention

Services

Engagements range from “quick sanity check” to “please own this subsystem and make it glorious.”

Embedded Firmware

  • Bootloader development + secure boot implementation
  • RTOS integration (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX) or bare-metal architecture
  • Device driver development (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet)
  • Power optimization + low-power mode implementation
  • Memory management + stack/heap analysis

We don't guess at timing. We measure with tools.

Hardware Integration

  • Board bring-up + peripheral configuration from datasheets
  • Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD debugging workflows
  • DMA + interrupt architecture for high-throughput systems
  • Manufacturing test software + calibration routines
  • Schematic review + signal integrity consultation

Yes, we read errata sheets. All of them.
