Hardware Capabilities

From Concept Through Silicon to Production

Engineers and product designers at Novus Labs bring innovation and deep technical expertise to every project that relies on complex hardware. Whether you need help selecting components, optimizing a board layout, debugging a tricky high-speed signal, or evaluating a legacy product seeing field failures, our hardware team works alongside yours to ship the right design.

Our experience spans the full design lifecycle — strategic component research, fine-pitch BGA layout, EMI/EMC mitigation, high-speed digital and analog/mixed-signal design, and adaptable embedded designs targeting SOC, ASIC, and FPGA devices. We have supported component selection and design-review programs for Microsoft, Peloton, Williams Sonoma, Logitech, and other industry leaders.

  • Strategic component research and supplier evaluation
  • Fine-pitch BGA layout, EMI/EMC, and high-speed digital design
  • Analog and mixed-signal circuit design
  • Embedded design for SOC, ASIC, and FPGA targets
  • Design review and field-failure remediation for legacy products
