Nessie Circuits

Custom electronics and embedded software
for connected products.

Berlin-based engineering studio delivering custom PCB design, rapid prototyping, and embedded firmware — from initial concept to series-ready hardware.

Our Services

From early-stage consulting to production-ready hardware and firmware.

Technical consulting session

Consulting

Architecture reviews, feasibility studies, and hands-on technical guidance — from initial scoping to de-risking a design mid-development.

Custom PCB schematic and layout

Hardware Design

Full hardware lifecycle — schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and production support for mixed-signal, RF, and power electronics designs.

Embedded firmware development

Firmware Development

Bare-metal, RTOS, and embedded Linux — from ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers to application processors, covering driver development and system integration.

Recent Projects

A selection of hardware and firmware work from the studio.

Riotee battery-free development platform — four stackable boards

Riotee

A development platform for energy-harvesting devices with four stackable boards. The SDK includes a battery-free runtime, device drivers, two network protocols, and example applications from "Hello World" to hotword detection.

SolarBox LED light-trace replay system with BeagleBone cape

SolarBox

A system for replaying reproducible light traces. A BeagleBone with a custom cape controls current through a high-power LED. The firmware retrieves light traces from SD card or via TCP/IP, adjusting LED current at up to 1 kHz.
