Karlis A.
has worked
.
Most hardware products don't fail at the idea — they fail at execution. I lead architecture, embedded, and firmware work for founders building hardware that has to ship at production, not just demo.
I'm Karlis, principal engineer and founder of null2.one — a small senior studio for 0→1 hardware product work. We work with founders, scale-ups, and engineering teams where the cost of a wrong technical decision is months and six figures.
Where I'm strongest
— Hardware product architecture
— Embedded systems and firmware (STM32, ESP32, nRF, Linux)
— Power electronics, battery, USB-PD, thermal
— Sensors and closed-loop control
— Robotics and mechatronics
— DFM and industrialization (EVT → DVT → PVT)
What I actually solve
— "Our prototype works on the bench but won't survive a factory."
— "We've burned months on the wrong architecture and need to reset before raising again."
— "We're juggling four freelancers and have no senior technical owner."
— "We need to validate the risky paths before committing to tooling and certifications."
— "Our BOM looks fine on paper and is unmanufacturable at volume."
How I work — three phases, fixed scope, fixed price
01. Product Definition & Architecture — 4 to 8 weeks
Turn product ambiguity into explicit architectural, commercial, and production decisions before execution begins. Output: a product definition that survives contact with production.
02. Prototype & Validation — 6 to 14 weeks
Architecture-first prototyping that surfaces real constraints early. EVT-grade hardware with a clear path to production. Firmware, electronics, and mechanical integrated into one validated system.
03. Production Readiness & Industrialization — 8 to 20 weeks
Design for manufacturing, supplier selection, EVT/DVT/PVT gate support, end-of-line test strategy, clean handoff to manufacturing. The work that decides whether first-run yield holds.
Every engagement starts with Phase 01. No exceptions. You decide whether to continue to the next phase based on what comes out of the previous one.
Indicative pricing (USD)
— Phase 01 — Definition & Architecture: $8k–$25k
— Phase 02 — Prototype & Validation: $35k–$120k
— Phase 03 — Production Readiness: $60k–$250k+
Background
— Principal engineer & founder, null2.one
— Senior Product Manager, Aerones — robotics for wind-turbine inspection and maintenance
— CTO & CCO, NovaticLab — patent-pending robotic automation
— BEng, VIA University College, Denmark
— 10+ years across robotics, embedded, IoT, wearables, ruggedized industrial hardware
Why this works
You stop paying for time and start paying for outcomes. Each phase has a defined deliverable and a price agreed before any engineering begins. You decide whether to continue at every gate — no open-ended retainers, no scope drift. Everything we produce belongs to you: architecture, design files, firmware, test procedures, supplier relationships. No IP lock-in.
Who I work with
— Hardware founders who need clarity and a real architecture before raising or building
— Scale-ups who need deep technical execution on a critical system
— Funded startups where the next architecture decision is worth six figures of avoided rework
— Engineering teams that need senior system-level leadership without hiring a CTO
Not a fit
— Pure SaaS or web work
— "Can you just build this?" hourly task work
— Sub-$5k scopes
— Buyers shopping primarily on price
— Branding or marketing-only engagements
Next step
If you have a hardware product where the technical decisions are expensive to get wrong, send the job invite. I respond within one business day with an honest read on whether we're a fit. If we are, we scope a Phase 01 — fixed price, defined deliverable, no commitment beyond that.

I am a Hardware Engineer specializing in prototype-to-production electronics development. I help startups and product teams turn ideas, dev-board prototypes, and rough proof-of-concept systems into reliable custom hardware that is ready for testing, assembly, and manufacturing. My work covers schematic review, circuit design, PCB layout, embedded hardware integration, board bring-up, debugging, and manufacturing preparation.
I understand that a design is not successful just because it works once on the bench. It must power up reliably, communicate correctly, route cleanly, fit mechanically, and be practical for fabrication and assembly.
I have strong experience with ESP32, STM32, nRF52, wireless, IoT hardware, sensor integration, power management, motor controller , mixed-signal layout, and production-ready PCB design.
I develop production-ready hardware using Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence Allegro PCB Designer, OrCAD Capture CIS, and EasyEDA, delivering multilayer PCBs for embedded systems, IoT devices, industrial electronics, wireless products, battery-powered devices, and mixed-signal applications.
I also work with real manufacturing constraints, including component availability, BOM optimization,
footprint verification, JLCPCB and PCBWay assembly requirements, stack-up planning, and DFM.
I am especially effective in projects that involve:
• converting dev-board or module-based prototypes into custom PCBs
• bringing up first-pass hardware and solving boot, power, or communication issues
• cleaning up inherited schematics and layouts
• improving reliability before fabrication
• preparing designs for repeatable assembly and production
My goal is always the same: deliver hardware that is practical, manufacturable, stable, and ready to move forward.

[ PCB Design • Firmware • RF • Production-Ready Hardware ]
I help startups, individuals and product teams turn electronic product ideas into reliable, production-ready hardware.
Most projects don’t start with a clean spec. There is usually a rough concept, an early prototype, or a design that is not behaving as expected. That’s typically where I come in.
I work across the full development process, from system architecture and component selection through schematic design, PCB layout, firmware, bring-up, testing, and manufacturing handoff. The goal is not just to make something that works, but to build hardware that remains stable, repeatable, and manufacturable.
A big part of my work is preventing problems early. Poor power design, RF issues, EMI, or layout decisions that cause instability later are common failure points. Fixing these after prototyping is costly, so I focus on getting the fundamentals right from the start.
My work includes:
* Schematic design and multi-layer PCB design (Altium Designer)
* Embedded systems and firmware (C, C++, Rust, Embedded Linux)
* Hardware debugging and root-cause analysis
* RF design (BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, GNSS, Sub-GHz) and antenna integration
* Power electronics (DC/DC, battery systems, charging, PoE)
* In-house validation, testing, and pre-compliance checks
* DFM/DFT and manufacturing handoff (BOM, Gerbers, assembly documentation)
I maintain a fully equipped lab for bring-up and testing, which allows issues to be identified and resolved early, before they reach production.
I’ve worked on IoT devices, wearables, and industrial systems using platforms such as STM32, ESP32, nRF52/nRF53, and i.MX.
I work directly with clients, keep communication clear, and stay involved until the design is stable. No handoffs, no guesswork, and no disappearing after the first prototype.
If you’re building a hardware product and want it done properly from the start, or need to stabilize an existing design, feel free to get in touch.
