Engineering / Embedded systems

Engineer reliable behaviour at the hardware and software boundary.

Electronics and embedded software services for products that sense, control, communicate and operate in real time, from architecture and board bring up through firmware, diagnostics and system verification.

Service overview

Develop hardware interfaces, deterministic software and fault behaviour as one product system.

Electronics and embedded software services for products that sense, control, communicate and operate in real time, from architecture and board bring up through firmware, diagnostics and system verification.

Service model
Use focused specialist support for a defined gap, or assemble a multidisciplinary team around a complete workstream. The structure follows the interfaces and decisions in the scope.
Delivery
Choose a project, dedicated team, hybrid engagement or managed service. Milestones, client responsibilities and acceptance criteria are agreed before execution.
Control
Scope, assumptions, evidence, ownership and review rhythm remain visible. Changes and unresolved risks are recorded with an accountable decision owner.

Lifecycle positionSpecify

Functions, signals, timing and fault behaviour.

Core capabilities

Capabilities included.

Each capability explains the work itself, how it connects with the surrounding product or operating system, and the evidence needed to make the result usable.

01

Electronics architecture

Functional partitioning, components, I/O, power and communication design.

Practical coverage

Create a traceable boundary between hardware and embedded software.

Delivery model

How we deliver.

Engineering work begins with the decision that must be supported and the evidence required to make it responsibly. Requirements, interfaces, assumptions and validation authority stay visible throughout delivery.

01

Inputs we establish

Product requirements, operating conditions, geometry, interfaces, existing test evidence, standards and release constraints.

Missing or uncertain inputs are recorded with an owner and their effect on model or design authority.
02

How the team works

An accountable engineering lead coordinates the mechanical, simulation, electronics, embedded or digital specialists required.

Client technical owners remain connected through design reviews, issue decisions and agreed approval gates.
03

How work is controlled

Models, calculations, software, drawings, assumptions, interfaces and changes are reviewed at defined maturity points.

Each output states its purpose, limitations, validation status and the next decision it is intended to support.
04

How success is measured

Requirement coverage, technical risk retirement, interface closure, evidence quality and readiness for the next lifecycle stage.

Progress is reported through accepted engineering outputs and resolved decisions, not activity volume alone.

Solutions

Solutions for common delivery needs.

The starting point can be a technical problem, a capacity gap or the need for a complete delivery workstream. CX24 first clarifies the current state, desired outcome and decision ownership.

01

Hardware and firmware teams are finding interface issues late.

How CX24 respondsFunctions, signals, timing and fault behaviour. The scope, responsible owners and evidence needed for closure are agreed before execution begins.
02

Timing, reliability or fault recovery must be improved.

How CX24 respondsPower, clocks, memory and I/O validation. The scope, responsible owners and evidence needed for closure are agreed before execution begins.
03

A prototype needs to become a maintainable product baseline.

How CX24 respondsDrivers, middleware and application logic. The scope, responsible owners and evidence needed for closure are agreed before execution begins.
04

Connected device diagnostics and updates need a controlled design.

How CX24 respondsInterfaces, timing, abnormal states and integration. The scope, responsible owners and evidence needed for closure are agreed before execution begins.

Delivery approach

A clear path from scope to evidence.

The exact gates change by service, but ownership, review and measurable outputs stay explicit. Each stage establishes the information needed to enter the next one responsibly.

01

Specify

Functions, signals, timing and fault behaviour.

Stage outcomeInterface specification is prepared or updated before the work advances.
02

Bring up

Power, clocks, memory and I/O validation.

Stage outcomeFirmware baseline is prepared or updated before the work advances.
03

Build

Drivers, middleware and application logic.

Stage outcomeDiagnostic model is prepared or updated before the work advances.
04

Test

Interfaces, timing, abnormal states and integration.

Stage outcomeTest evidence is prepared or updated before the work advances.
05

Release

Source, configuration, build and evidence baseline.

Stage outcomeAgreed next stage evidence is prepared or updated before the work advances.

What you receive

Typical deliverables.

Deliverables are adapted to the client environment and agreed acceptance criteria. The aim is to leave behind usable engineering, technology or operating capability, not presentation material alone.

01

Interface specification

Signals, protocols, timing, states and errors.

Assumptions, ownership, dependencies and the agreed review status are recorded with the output.
02

Firmware baseline

Versioned source, configuration and build inputs.

Working files, source information and revision status are organised so the client team can continue using them.
03

Diagnostic model

Fault codes, logs, service and recovery behaviour.

Results include the relevant checks, open issues, limitations and approval evidence, not only the final conclusion.
04

Test evidence

Unit, integration, timing and system results.

Final handover identifies accepted scope, residual risk, next actions and the accountable owner for each action.

Proof Points

Evidence clients can review before acceptance.

Proof is defined through the engagement itself: accepted outputs, a visible decision trail, agreed measures and a usable handover.

01

Accepted outputs

Deliverables are mapped to agreed criteria, version status, accountable owners and review decisions.

02

Decision trail

Inputs, assumptions, interfaces, changes, exceptions and approvals remain connected to the work.

03

Delivery measures

Progress, quality, risk, backlog or service measures are selected for the actual engagement.

04

Usable continuity

Working files, source information, runbooks and handover actions leave the client able to continue.

Client names, project details and outcome claims are published only with permission. Evidence for a specific engagement is confirmed through the agreed scope, reviews and acceptance records.

Engagement Models

Choose a delivery structure that fits the responsibility.

Team shape, governance, commercial structure and acceptance are matched to the outcome CX24 is asked to deliver.

01

Defined project

Bounded scope, milestones, deliverables and acceptance criteria for a specific outcome.

02

Dedicated team

Stable specialist capacity integrated with client leadership, standards and delivery rhythms.

03

Delivery centre

Multidisciplinary capacity with named governance, shared methods and transparent reporting.

04

Managed service

Recurring responsibility operated against controls, service levels and improvement measures.
