About
One engineer with deep hands-on experience across PCB design, embedded firmware, power electronics, and the full manufacturing pipeline — from first prototype to mass production.
The Engineer
Embedded Works is a solo practice built on years of hands-on engineering across high-current power electronics, multi-layer PCB design, ESP32 and STM32 firmware, and embedded user interfaces. Every project is handled directly by the same engineer who reviews the requirement, designs the board, writes the firmware, and coordinates manufacturing.
The work is not theoretical. It is shaped by repeated engagement with real manufacturers: JLCPCB for fast prototypes, NextPCB for complex multi-layer boards with impedance control, and direct relationships with component suppliers and cable manufacturers for assembly-ready products. The result is hardware that is easier to build, test, and scale.
What Sets This Work Apart
Many designers can draw a schematic. Fewer have shipped boards through real fabrication, assembly, and field testing with the manufacturers who will build your product. That difference shows up in every decision: stackup choices, connector placement, test-point strategy, BOM alternates, and cable integration.
Long-standing direct relationships with JLCPCB and NextPCB for everything from quick-turn prototypes to controlled-impedance, multi-layer production runs. Fast quoting, fewer DFM rejections, and better pricing because the files are prepared correctly the first time.
Active Alibaba and distributor relationships for sourcing hard-to-find components, finding cost-effective alternates, and building BOMs that stay available through production. No last-minute surprises when a part goes obsolete.
Established cable manufacturers and assembly partners for custom harnesses, connector systems, and enclosure-ready integration. The board is designed knowing exactly how the cables, connectors, and housing will come together.
Hands-on experience with controlled stackups, impedance calculations, and high-speed routing for reliable signal integrity. Proper layer assignments, via strategies, and return-path planning from the first revision.
100A+ ESC design, large power distribution boards, and thermal management for demanding UAV, robotics, and industrial applications. Copper strategy, heat sinking, and connector derating are planned, not guessed.
Boards are planned so firmware, debug, boot modes, sensors, and communication are not afterthoughts. Bring-up notes, test points, and flashing access are part of the design, not fixes applied later.
How I Work
When you hire Embedded Works, you work with the same person from the first requirement call through schematic, layout, firmware, testing, and manufacturing handoff. There is no project manager filtering messages, no junior engineer inheriting half-finished files, and no surprises when the board reaches the factory.

Share the product goal, current stage, and constraints. I will review the requirement and suggest a clear next step — whether that is an audit of existing files, a new board design, or a manufacturing plan for your prototype.
