Electronic Design Capabilities

Digital and FPGA Design

Microprocessor and FPGA-based systems, high-speed digital interfaces, ADC/DAC integration, memory and communications architectures, signal integrity, power integrity and detailed design verification.

Analogue and Sensor Electronics

Low-noise signal conditioning, precision measurement, analogue front ends, filters, amplifiers, sensor interfaces, data conversion and mixed-signal electronics for demanding industrial and scientific applications.

Power Electronics

AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion, protection, sequencing, power distribution, custom magnetics, high-voltage systems and efficient power architectures developed around the needs of the complete product.

Motor Drives and Inverters

BLDC, induction and specialist motor-control systems, regenerative operation, inverters, actuators, protection circuits, control electronics and dedicated motor-test systems for development and verification.

High-Temperature and Harsh-Environment Electronics

Electronic systems designed for elevated temperature, shock, vibration, downhole, subsea and other demanding environments, with component selection, thermal design and verification considered from the outset.

Subsea Electronics and Control Systems

Electronics, embedded software and control-system development for subsea equipment, including subsea electronic modules, subsea control modules and related high-reliability systems. Our team has practical experience working with the requirements and principles of API 17F and ISO 13628-6, including system architecture, communications, power distribution, diagnostics, environmental qualification and long-term reliability.

PCB and Electronic CAD

Schematic capture, multilayer PCB layout, mechanical integration, electrical simulation, signal and power integrity analysis, thermal assessment and complete manufacturing documentation for prototype and production builds.

Why Work With Spark?

Direct Access to the Engineers Doing the Work

You can communicate directly with the engineers responsible for your project, helping technical questions, design decisions and potential issues to be addressed quickly and clearly.

Hardware, Software and FPGA Developed Together

Our electronics, embedded-software and FPGA engineers work as one integrated team, reducing interface risk and ensuring each part of the system is developed around the complete product requirements.

Experienced Multidisciplinary UK Engineering Team

Our UK-based team brings together expertise in analogue and digital electronics, power electronics, embedded systems, FPGA development, PCB design, test and manufacture.

Dedicated Electronics and Environmental-Test Facilities

We have our own electronics laboratory and specialist test equipment, allowing prototypes to be brought up, investigated and verified efficiently, including testing across demanding temperature conditions.

Complete Design Documentation and Production Support

We can provide the schematics, PCB files, bills of materials, manufacturing data, firmware, test documentation and technical support needed to move a design from prototype into production.

ISO 9001-Accredited Quality System

Our ISO 9001-accredited processes provide a controlled and traceable approach to project management, design reviews, documentation, verification and engineering change.

Flexible Support from Specialist Work Packages to Turnkey Programmes

Spark can undertake a complete product-development programme or provide targeted support in areas such as electronics, embedded software, FPGA, troubleshooting, verification or production engineering.

Customer Ownership of Project Intellectual Property

At the end of the project, customers own the intellectual property and design outputs developed specifically for them, subject to the agreed contract. This gives you control of the finished design and the freedom to manufacture, maintain and develop the product further.

Flexible Commercial Models

We offer flexible ways of working to suit different project requirements, including fixed-price work packages, staged development programmes and time-based consultancy. This allows the commercial approach to be matched to the level of technical definition, project risk and support required.
