Disciplines
Five disciplines, with the roles and the technologies under each. If your role is not listed but sits next to one of these, it is still worth asking. If it is genuinely outside what we know, we will say so rather than take the brief.
Ref. 01
The core of what we do. Engineers who write the software that runs on the product itself, where the constraints are memory, power, timing and the hardware actually in front of them.
Ref. 02
The people who design the board. Analogue, digital, RF and power, through to layout, EMC and the test engineering that proves it works.
Ref. 03
The application and platform engineers around the product: the tools, the services it talks to, and the interfaces people use to control it.
Ref. 04
The infrastructure and the models. Increasingly the same companies that build hardware also need the pipeline that carries its data and the models that make sense of it.
Ref. 05
Keeping the business and its designs running and protected. Often overlooked in engineering companies until something goes wrong.

Send the stack, the team it sits in and what would make you say no at interview. If we are not the right firm for it, we will say so on the first call rather than take the brief anyway.
