01 /ABOUT DEV TEAM
An engineering team.
A research mindset.
DEV TEAM LTD is a technology and engineering company based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. We specialise in the development of connected products and intelligent systems.
Our work centres on practical R&D: investigating technical challenges, evaluating emerging technologies and building prototypes to test ideas.
We develop concepts through engineering validation and preparation for production, with attention to how each part will work in the complete system.
02 /OUR EXPERTISE
Our engineering
capabilities.
The technical work behind our research
and product development.
01Research & development
Technical feasibility studies, applied research and proofs of concept to assess new ideas and engineering approaches.
We use experiments and prototypes to investigate technical uncertainty and assess which approaches merit further development.
02Hardware & electronics
Custom electronics, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and sensor systems, from component selection to prototype testing.
We develop the physical elements of a device, considering its electrical requirements, operating environment and how it will be manufactured.
03Embedded systems & firmware
Software that runs on devices: sensor interfaces, device control, low-power operation and on-device data processing.
We develop firmware around the capabilities and constraints of the hardware, coordinating how a device senses, processes information and responds.
04IoT & connectivity
Communication between devices, gateways and cloud services using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and LoRaWAN.
We select and integrate wireless technologies according to range, power consumption, data requirements and the deployment environment.
05Software engineering
Cloud platforms, APIs, backend systems and web applications for managing devices, processing data and supporting users.
We develop the services and interfaces around a product, with attention to software architecture, maintainability and operation at scale.
06Product engineering
System integration, engineering validation and preparation for manufacture, bringing hardware and software into a working product.
We bring the components together, test their behaviour as a complete system and refine the design for the transition from prototype to production.
03 /ENGINEERING DECISIONS
Designed for
real conditions.
Decisions about power, reliability, security and manufacture affect one another. We consider these constraints across the system throughout development.
MAKING THE TRADE-OFFS EXPLICIT
Every function has a power cost.
Sensing, processing and wireless communication all draw on the same power supply. We consider them together to balance what a device needs to do with how long it needs to operate.
REQUIREMENTS GUIDE THE DESIGN. TEST RESULTS GUIDE THE REFINEMENT.
04 /HOW WE WORK
A process shaped
by evidence.
Each stage informs the next. We revisit assumptions and refine the design as the evidence develops.
02
Engineer.
Develop the architecture and build prototypes to test the proposed design.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
03
Validate.
Measure performance against requirements. Use the results to resolve issues and refine the design.
TEST & ITERATE
04
Prepare.
Refine the validated design for manufacture, integration and deployment.
