Engineering Complex Systems From Concept to Deployment
KickToStart Consulting helps companies build embedded systems, FPGAs, and software-defined radios — from first prototype to production deployment.
Core Capabilities
Deep expertise across three domains that often need to work together.
FPGA Development
High-performance FPGA design for real-time signal processing, image processing, and high-speed data interfaces — from architecture through deployment.
- High-performance FPGA design (Xilinx Zynq, Virtex, Kintex, Spartan; Lattice)
- Real-time digital signal processing on hardware
- High-speed interfaces and data paths
- Image processing pipelines and machine vision systems
Rapid Embedded Prototyping
From paper napkin to working prototype — fast. ARM firmware development, sensor integration, and hardware/firmware co-design across medical, wearable, and industrial domains.
- Taking ideas from paper napkin to working prototype
- ARM microcontroller development (SDKs: Nordic, TI, NXP, Atmel, ST)
- Sensor integration and data collection systems (optical, IMUs, temperature, pressure)
- BLE and wireless protocol implementation
Software Defined Radios
Real-time DSP algorithm development and wireless signal processing for defense, communications, and research applications.
- Wireless communications and signal processing
- Real-time DSP algorithm development and optimization
- Fixed-point algorithm implementation and analysis
- Algorithm porting and pipelining for FPGAs or embedded targets
From First Call to Working Prototype
We take hardware from conception all the way through to working firmware and a functioning prototype.
Learn more about how we work →Discovery Call
We discuss your project, your constraints, and what success looks like. No charge, no commitment. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Technical Scoping
We dig into the technical details — your existing codebase, hardware platform, architecture, and timeline. This produces a clear scope document and estimate.
Development
We build. Depending on the engagement model, you get regular check-ins, working demos, and direct access to ask questions. No black-box handoffs.
Delivery & Handoff
You get working firmware, tested code, documentation, and a clean handoff. We make sure your team can maintain and extend what we built.
