Expanding Konsulko’s reach and expertise

Embedded hardware engineering

Konsulko Group offers complete hardware services including design, integration, validation and certification, rapid prototyping, biometric signals, sensors, wireless communications, low power applications and manufacturing test/support.

In April, Konsulko Group welcomed three veteran hardware developers to our growing team. Alexandar Kalaydjiev now serves as Konsulko Hardware Director. Marin Balkandjiev and Tsvetan Mudrov, PhD joined Konsulko as Principal Hardware Engineers.

Customers can leverage their technical expertise and extensive experience to create comprehensive products and solutions tailored to their specific requirements.

Konsulko hardware engineers can manage and facilitate the production of the developed products, ensuring their successful realization. We can provide deployment support as required, ensuring a smooth transition for the end-customer.

New in 2024 to our expert team of engineers

In addition to our Hardware group, Konsulko continues to attract outstanding talent to our team. This year we have added three individuals who represent some of the best in embedded Linux and open source engineering.

• Peter Tyser has designed hardware and software for rugged, high performance computers targeting military, aerospace, and industrial applications. He has hands-on experience with hardware design, board bring-up, board debug, firmware development, OS development, documentation, failure analysis, product verification, and anti-tamper security.
• Andrew Bradford (bradfa) is an author/developer of the “Cross Linux From Scratch” embedded book and has contributed patches to the Linux kernel, u-boot, and Yocto/OpenEmbedded projects. He also has extensive experience with EnergyStar and EMC/EMI testing, compliance, and certification.
• Filipe Pires has crafted robust, efficient, and user-friendly applications that run seamlessly on Linux platforms. Filipe is experienced in build automation, scripting, and web development, with proficiency in multiple frameworks and industry best practices.

You can learn more about the whole Konsulko team of embedded hardware and software consultants on our Meet the Team page.

Open source contributions and conferences

Konsulko’s senior leadership have been contributors in the Linux kernel and other OSS communities since the late 1990s. In addition to our commercial engineering work for our customers, the Konsulko team continues to have active roles in a number of Open Source projects including U-Boot, Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded and Automotive Grade Linux (AGL).

Konsulko engineers made presentations at open source and commercial conferences and developer gatherings including Embedded Linux Conferences (North America and Europe), AGL All Member Meetings and Yocto Project Summits. We also published seven new technical articles as blogs on our website.

All of us at Konsulko Group look forward to working with you in the coming year. Contact us to explore how our engineering services can help bring your innovative products to life in 2025 and beyond.
