I'm Matt Campbell, and I run Farix Embedded, a one-person consulting studio helping clients turn early-stage ideas into real embedded products. As a solo expert, I stay fast and lean so you can build faster and better. With over 15 years of experience designing firmware, hardware, and embedded systems, I’ve applied my skills to a diverse set of projects. I take on the kind of work a principal engineer would: hands-on when it’s needed, strategic when it matters. Engineering is what I love — and getting to help clients build great things is about as good as it gets.
Embedded systems architecture and product strategy
Technical due diligence and design reviews
Advising on development processes, tooling, and infrastructure (DevOps, CI/CD, ECAD, etc.)
System design trade-off analysis across hardware, firmware, and software
Mentorship and technical leadership for growing engineering teams
Real-time and embedded systems development (bare-metal and Linux)
Technical product design and rapid prototyping
Embedded Linux kernel and user space application development
Custom CI and automated test systems for hardware-software integration
Schematic capture and PCB layout
Board bring-up, validation, debug, and test
Design of programming and test fixtures for manufacturing
C/C++
Rust
Assembly
Python/SciPy
Linux Kernel Development
Yocto Linux
RTOSes (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, uC/OSII, etc.)
Bare Metal
Design of digital hardware systems
Schematic Capture and PCB layout (KiCad, Altium)
Prototype fabrication and bring-up
Microprocessors (ARM, STM32, MSP430, Nordic Semi NRF, etc.)
LTE, BLE, WiFi and other connectivity standards
DSP porting, development, optimization
FPGA (Altera and Xilinx)
In-house lab for faster progress with no client overhead
500MHz 4 channel MSO oscilloscope
Full SMD rework capabilities (down to 0201, leadless packages, and some BGAs)
FDM 3d printer for fixtures and rapid-prototyping
Desktop pick-and-place for rapid in-house prototype assembly
Complement of standard electronics test equipment (power supplies, multi-meters, etc.)
