Our Portfolio
Over the years, we’ve provided a diverse range of services across various products. Leveraging expertise from Networking, Telecom, Storage Networks, IoT, Battery Management Systems, Medical, and Avionics, Arira has evolved into a highly respected electronic design services firm.
Room S
We architected, designed, prototyped, and tested three custom circuit boards which provided a comprehensive management system for a conference room pod. These boards monitored occupancy, controlled lighting, and cooling to provide a comfortable and customizable experience for Room’s customers.
Button Computer
We architected, engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a compact AI-powered wearable assistant designed to keep intelligent computing within reach. Clip it onto your clothing and interact through voice capture for a seamless, hands-free experience wherever you go.
Palmtoms
We architected, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a connected audio product featuring Bluetooth audio, RF communication, gesture detection, Wi-Fi configuration, audio synthesis, and rechargeable battery power. These technologies enabled wireless communication between units, intuitive gesture-based control, and a fully integrated audio experience.
Sonny
We engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a portable bidet device featuring Bluetooth connectivity, a rechargeable battery, LED status indication, and simple push-button control. The compact electronics platform provided reliable wireless functionality and intuitive user control within a portable, battery-powered design.
Dropcam
We architected, engineered, and tested the electronics for a connected HD webcam featuring Wi-Fi, night vision, audio, and motion detection. The system integrated image processing, wireless connectivity, high-speed memory, and flash storage to provide a capable platform for video streaming and intelligent monitoring.
Atheer
We architected, engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a VR eyeglass device featuring an NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, wireless connectivity, a custom 4S-1P lithium-ion battery system, and USB-C connectivity with USB 3 and DisplayPort video output. The design supported high-power delivery to the head-mounted display and included custom test hardware to validate the HDMI-to-DisplayPort interface, with Arira also supporting compliance testing and production builds in China.
NixieFly
We architected, engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a webcam drone integrating image processing, a Sony image sensor, Nordic wireless control, motor control, environmental sensors, and a custom lithium-ion battery pack. The system combined imaging, sensing, flight navigation, and power management into a compact embedded platform for wireless aerial monitoring.
Hybrid Memory Cube Validation Board
We developed the hardware, FPGA, and software architecture for an ATX-form-factor HMC development platform featuring four Altera Stratix V FPGAs and four independent x16 HMC links supporting 10 Gbps data lanes. The system combined high-speed PCB design, FPGA RTL, power monitoring, functional testing, and a Windows-based GUI to provide a complete platform for HMC traffic generation, performance analysis, and system control.
Broadcom XMC
We architected, engineered, and tested an XMC-form-factor network processing module featuring a Broadcom XLP316L network processor, onboard DDR3 and NAND Flash memory, and dedicated management interfaces. The module provided high-speed XAUI and PCI Express connectivity to the base board, along with serial, I2C, and SPI interfaces for system integration and management.
Harris Data Processing Platform
We architected, engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested a rugged data processing platform featuring an XLR508 network processor, DDR2 memory, four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and a CPLD for local bus connectivity and system control. The platform was designed and validated to meet MIL-STD-810F requirements.
AlterG Micro Pressure Board
We architected, engineered, designed, prototyped, and tested the electronics for a zero-gravity treadmill control board featuring an ATSAMA5D3 microcontroller, RPM feedback, four load-cell inputs for gradient detection, Ethernet connectivity, and dual serial interfaces. The board monitored key treadmill functions and processed sensor data to support precise operation and control of the system.
Praise from Our Partners
Michael Johnson, Head of Products
Performance Software
"Arira has provided excellent engineering services for the development of hardware for an avionics product. Their highly skilled and experienced engineering resources have been invaluable in the overall support of high quality and efficient product development. Arira has proven to be very adaptable to the complex and changing requirements as well as providing invaluable support in working with other development partners. Arira delivers a great customer experience."
Justin Dollinger, Engineer
Room Inc.
"Arira Design is truly a one stop shop for everything electronic. The team has helped us with everything from circuit board design to firmware development to safety certifications of high voltage systems. The team is always quick to respond, treats us fairly, and operates gracefully when we tend to increase the scope mid-project. Overall, I would strongly recommend Arira Design to anyone looking for similar help."
Kenneth North, VP of Engineering
Elo Touch
"Elo has been using Arira Design for their schematic and layout review, as well as PCBA design services for the past 20 years. Arira offers a quick turnaround and detailed design review process. They've been able to find issues that even our internal resources have missed. Saving Elo weeks, if not months, of potential schedule impact by making these changes later. Arira's engineering review team, on numerous occasions, will get on a call to explain their findings so the same mistakes don't occur ... We would recommend Arira's services to anyone looking for schematic/layout review or design services."
Jim Reding, CEO
Aroma Retail
“Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Excellent R&D partner. We developed a control module with mobile app from scratch, for a new aroma diffusion machine with a completely unique user interface. The entire Arira team was highly knowledgeable, reliable, transparent, and professional. While the project was completed under budget and on time, and the final product far exceeded my expectations, the most important value to me was the relationship. Arira Design, with Craig Paulsen as my main point of contact, remains an important ally as they help me navigate the current global supply disruptions. I cannot over-express my gratitude for their concern and help in making sure I do not run out after launch of the new machine. It was Craig from Arira that reached out to me to alert me to the long-lead issues that required early purchase or substitutes; otherwise, I would not have seen it coming soon enough to adjust. I consider Craig and his crew an extension of my team.”
Client in stealth mode
"Arira just handles it. I can't say that enough. I can throw things over the fence, not look into every detail and they work with me to define our product. I don't feel overburdened with every single detail up front, and they're very quick to react and make changes. We've been able to keep designs flexible and serviceable. For a growing company looking to find our product market fit I can't imagine a better experience. Craig is a pleasure to work with, is incredibly knowledgeable and handles my stupid questions very well. The supporting engineers he's brought directly to us like James or behind the scenes have always been very professional and knowledgeable."
