HeartVector
Real-time heart-rate-zone training. Pair any BLE chest strap and see the zone you are in right now, so you adjust effort mid-workout instead of reviewing it afterwards.
From first idea to finished product — electronics, firmware, mechanics, test automation, web and app development.
The team
Atomik Labs opened in 2004 as an engineering services shop: electronic and mechanical design, test automation, embedded software, and PCB layout. Much of the early work was production test and calibration — the racks and software that decide whether a product is allowed to leave the factory. That kind of work leaves a mark on how you build everything afterwards.
You can't manage what you can't measure.
Two decades on, we hold to that standard across a wider stack. We draw the schematic, lay out the board, design the parts around it, write the firmware that runs on it, and build the application you actually touch. Because one team does all of it, the seams between hardware and software are ours to get right rather than someone else's to argue about.
Over the years the work has spanned RF and microwave, wireless infrastructure, semiconductors, avionics, and industrial automation: production test stations, instrument control, calibration systems, boards, firmware and, more recently, the phone in your pocket. We stay deliberately small, which means we choose our projects, and the engineer who designs your product is the engineer who builds it.
Our work
Every project starts with a problem we actually have — then gets refined until it feels obvious.
Real-time heart-rate-zone training. Pair any BLE chest strap and see the zone you are in right now, so you adjust effort mid-workout instead of reviewing it afterwards.
A podcast player that understands the episode. Every show is analyzed on the phone to build a topic timeline and strip the ad breaks. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked.
Live USB Power Delivery telemetry on a rugged tablet: negotiated charging ceiling, port roles, voltage and current, plus a home-screen widget and a streaming event console.
Turnover scheduling for a short-let cleaning crew. Reads each listing's private calendar feed and flags the properties due today. Spanish and English.
Volume finer than the phone allows. A global audio effect trims the system output mix below the lowest hardware step. Slider, Quick Settings tile, no root required.
A USB-C Power Delivery charger board taken from schematic capture through PCB layout to a manufacturing release, with a wide-input buck-boost front end.
Disciplines
Most products fail in the gaps between specialties. We cover the gaps because we cover the specialties.
Analog, digital and power electronics from requirements to schematic capture, simulation and bring-up.
Multilayer boards through to a full manufacturing release — gerbers, BOM, fab and assembly drawings.
Enclosures, brackets and test fixtures modeled alongside the board, so the two actually fit together.
Automated test equipment, calibration and production stations — instrument control, limits and reporting.
Firmware, sensor drivers and custom binary protocols over USB, serial and BLE — plus the tools to decode them.
Native Android in Kotlin and Compose, wearables and widgets, plus web front ends and the desktop tooling behind them.
About
One team, one thread. The engineer who scopes your project designs it, builds it and hands it over. Nothing gets thrown over a wall, because there is no wall.
We start from the constraint — the measurement that has to hold, the current budget, the deadline that will not move — and design outward from there. It is a habit picked up from twenty years of test engineering, and it has never once been the wrong order to work in.
And we stay deliberately small. It means we choose our projects, we finish them, and you always know exactly who is doing the work.
Founded as an engineering services shop: electronic and mechanical design, test automation, embedded software, PCB layout.
Automated test, calibration and production stations for RF, microwave and semiconductor lines.
Multilayer PCB design through manufacturing release, including USB-C Power Delivery and power conversion.
Firmware and custom binary protocols for sensor and connectivity hardware, with decoders to match.
Native Android: BLE sensor tracking, on-device audio analysis, wearables and home-screen widgets.
Complete products from one team — board, enclosure, firmware and app — plus select client engagements.
FAQ
Atomik Labs is an engineering services studio founded in 2004. It takes products from first idea to finished product across six disciplines: electronic design, PCB layout, mechanical design, test automation, embedded software, and web and app development.
Yes, and that is the point of the studio. The same team draws the schematic, lays out the board, designs the mechanics around it, writes the firmware and builds the application. The interfaces between hardware and software are handled inside one team instead of negotiated between separate vendors.
RF and microwave, wireless infrastructure, semiconductors, avionics and defense, industrial automation, and consumer devices. The work has included production test stations, instrument control, calibration systems, circuit boards, firmware and mobile applications.
Yes. Production test, calibration and automated test equipment is where the studio started in 2004 and it remains a core discipline, covering instrument control, test limits, data capture and reporting for production lines.
Yes. Board work runs from schematic capture through multilayer layout to a full manufacturing release, including gerbers, the bill of materials, and fabrication and assembly drawings.
Yes. Native Android in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, including wearables, home-screen widgets, Bluetooth Low Energy sensor integration and fully on-device processing. HeartVector, published on Google Play, is one of the studio's own apps.
