6-stage electronic product development process
Every Ignys product development project follows the same rigorous methodology. Each step builds on the last, with full requirements, traceability and peer review at every stage. This isn’t just a way of working – it’s how we reduce your risk and accelerate the delivery of your electronic product.
Product Development with a Proper Process
Electronic engineering consultancies think linearly and will charge “time and materials”. We’re different. Our methodology has evolved and takes a a holistic approach to electronic product development.
Ignys runs a six-stage development process, from specification, embedded design, hardware electronics, testing, validation, demonstration to field trial prototype. Naturally developed as a by product of good engineering, it’s proven time and time again to reduce risk and build robust electronic product design.
The Ignys Electronic Product Development Process
1. Implementation & Compliance Specification
2. Electronics Hardware Design
3. Prototype
4. Bring-up, Integration, Further HW & SW development
5. Test, Validation and Demonstration
Field Trial

This is a proven process that starts with the end result in mind. Whatever product you’re producing needs to be compliant to regulations, so you can sell it legally. It also needs to be manufacturable in volume for commercial viability. Use the button below to download our product development process in full detail.
The UK’s Electronics Design Team of The Year
We appreciate not every client needs a complete development partner. Wherever you are on your development journey we have the expertise to deliver. Each service integrates seamlessly with our proven process.
Embedded Software & Firmware Development
Firmware development for microcontrollers and embedded systems. From bare-metal to RTOS and Linux implementations, with secure update mechanisms and comprehensive testing.
Electronics Hardware Design
Custom PCB design and electronics hardware development from concept to production-ready prototypes. Peer-reviewed schematics, optimised layouts, and full DFM/DFT consideration.
Discovery Workshop
Pre-development stages to de-risk your project before committing to full development. Requirements refinement, feasibility studies, and proof-of-concept prototypes.
Feasibility Study
Detailed evaluation on your electronic product development, from design to scalability. We will resolve any technical uncertainties before you have to commit. Getting you on track and reducing risk.
Electronic Product Compliance
EMC testing, safety compliance, and regulatory certification support. CE marking, FCC, medical device standards, and other market-specific requirements.
Design for Manufacture
Prototypes are designed with production intent from the outset. This is tailored for your expected volumes and designed for testability (DFT) for quality control.
Test Solutions
Custom test and programming fixtures for production environments. Automated testing solutions that reduce manufacturing time and ensure consistent quality
