Testing & Certification
Functional, system and compliance testing; wireless certification including Bluetooth; independent testing-as-a-service, kept separate from the client's development organisation.
Electronics engineering services · Spain
Senior testing, verification, validation and firmware teams, Spanish-led and productive in weeks. At around 7% attrition, the team that starts your programme is the team that finishes it.
You weigh a partner the same way every time: what can you do, where are your engineers, how would you work with us, and what does it cost. We answer each before you have to ask.
Testing, DevOps, CI/CD, verification and validation: roughly three-quarters of what we deliver, led by independent testing-as-a-service.
Spanish engineering leadership, with same-time-zone hubs. Same working hours, scheduled in-person workshops, more team for the budget.
Four models (Spanish, Hybrid, Distributed and Specialist engineers) chosen on control, capacity and budget. Positioned on fit, not price.
Weeks to a productive squad against nine to eighteen months of recruitment. Illustrative economics, shown openly, never a number to negotiate against.
The exact skills your requisitions sit open in: testing, verification, DevOps and firmware. Led by independent testing, kept structurally separate from the team whose work it checks, so no one marks their own homework.
Functional, system and compliance testing; wireless certification including Bluetooth; independent testing-as-a-service, kept separate from the client's development organisation.
Design verification, validation against requirements, RTL block-level functional verification, regression and coverage: the core of what we do.
CI/CD pipelines for firmware and software, build and release automation, test-automation frameworks on QEMU and FPGA, release packaging and verification.
Security software testing and validation: root-of-trust products, robustness and performance work, and the assurance that protects the product in the field.
Hands-on support integrating and sustaining delivered platforms: BSP releases and updates, multimedia pipelines, OEM product-release support.
RTL verification · Bluetooth certification · CI/CD for firmware · BSP integration · SerDes analog verification · DFT · mixed-signal simulation · QEMU/FPGA automation · SPI/I²C/UART/USB drivers.
Spanish engineering leadership on every engagement, with engineers in your time zone beneath it. Same working hours, in-person workshops a short flight away, and a materially larger team for the same budget.
Hub engineers work the client's and the Spanish leads' hours. One working day, not a handoff across time zones.
Scheduled technical workshops, a short flight away. Face-to-face where it matters, built into the delivery rhythm.
The cost benefit fields a materially larger team for the same budget. Scale and capacity, never a discount pitch.
Four models, chosen on fit rather than price, spanning a fully Spanish team to on-demand specialists. Spanish-led accountability holds every one of them together.
| Model | What it is | Commercial position |
|---|---|---|
| Spanish Team | A Spanish-led team working from Spain. The most straightforward entry point and the strongest reference for quality. | Saving vs. a traditional consultancy |
| Hybrid Team | Spanish leadership with engineers in a same-time-zone hub; in-person technical workshops built into the rhythm. | ≈ 25% illustrative |
| Distributed Team | Spanish leadership with engineers drawn from the best available locations worldwide, for value and capacity. | ≈ 30% illustrative |
| Specialist Engineers | Individual experts on demand. A first-class engagement in its own right, and a proven route into long-term accounts. | Flexible · capacity-led |
Savings are illustrative, drawn from live engagement economics, re-baselined as hub day-rates evolve, never contractual commitments.
The budget that funds four engineers in Spain funds nine in a hybrid team. We show the worked economics openly, at known day rates: illustrative, never a figure to be quoted back at you in negotiation.
| Team | Engineers | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Spanish Team | 4 | All Spain |
| Hybrid Team | 9 | 4 Spain · 5 hub |
Four engineers in Spain and seven in the hub, delivering within a $900k budget work that would otherwise have cost around $1.2M: roughly 25% saved, the illustrative Hybrid figure.
The other side of the ledger is delay. On a multi-year programme the dominant cost is slippage, not the hourly cost of engineers. A two-quarter slip means two quarters of deferred revenue and competitive exposure. That turns the decision from day rates into programme economics.
Brief TT AI in conversation or by upload. It proposes a real squad from our roster: composition, seniority, location split and indicative economics, before any salesperson is involved. Digital up to a credible proposal, then human-led.
Every proposed squad is reviewed and signed by Spanish engineering leadership before it reaches you.
For most buyers the real alternative is internal hiring. Weeks to a productive squad here against nine to eighteen months in recruitment, and a team that stays rather than rotating out on you.
| The realistic alternative | Where it falls short |
|---|---|
| Hire internally our primary competitor | Nine to eighteen months to a productive senior engineer in the scarce disciplines. The programme cannot absorb the wait. |
| Build a captive centre | Years to productive scale; capex-heavy; hard to reverse; internalises the attrition problem. |
| Engage a large consultancy | Credible but over-priced for disciplined engineering; broad rather than deep. |
| Use staff augmentation | High attrition; no operational ownership; context lost between rotations. |
Voluntary attrition of ≈7% a year means the team a client starts with is, overwhelmingly, the team they still have two years later, with all its accumulated programme knowledge. One current client measures internal attrition near 18% against our 7%.
Attrition internally audited; the ~18% is one client's measure, illustrative. External retention report in progress.
Global semiconductor leaders and sub-fifty-person startups both qualify. If the work matches our disciplines, you're a fit. Nothing here is enterprise-only.
Substantial engineering organisations running multi-year silicon, firmware or embedded programmes, with scarce verification and test seats they cannot fill at pace.
A precise technical match to our capability: mixed-signal, RF, ultra-low-power, imaging, industrial electronics. Some excellent clients sit below fifty people.
Recently funded companies that must build engineering capability faster than any hiring plan allows. The decision sits with the CTO or founder.
