Crossfield Technology’s experienced team of engineers works with customers to architect, design, develop and test products, real-time software, embedded firmware, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuits for their application. Crossfield teams with local contract manufacturers and compliance test facilities to bring your product to market quickly and efficiently.
PCB Design
Crossfield uses Altium Designer to perform schematic capture and place and route of printed circuit boards. Altium Designer allows Crossfield to create 3D models of components and printed circuit boards to ensure the design meets the required form factor. The models may be exported to perform a thermal analysis using external tools as well. Our skilled engineering team has experience with state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies including via-in-pad, blind and buried vias, backdrilling vias, and 3-mil trace width and spacing on boards ranging from 2 to 20+ layers.
Crossfield uses AWR/Microwave Office for design of RF and microwave circuits, including RF printed circuits boards and integrated microwave assemblies.

Embedded Firmware Design
Crossfield’s team is experienced with several different programming environments and Software Development Kits for MCUs, MPUs, and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), including
- Embedded Linux applications and device drivers on microprocessors and FPGA SoCs
- Altera Quartus Prime Pro
- Microsemi Libero IDE
- Mentor ModelSim
Software Design
Crossfield’s software development team has experience with real-time data acquisition, signal processing using heterogeneous processors, and advanced networking technologies. Crossfield develops data acquisition software using ‘C’ and C++ and the LabVIEW™ programming environment. Crossfield is experienced in signal processing applications for HPC systems using ‘C’, C++, OpenCL and CUDA, targeting CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. Crossfield’s high-performance, wire-speed, data streaming applications use the Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics.
System Design
Crossfield’s team includes engineers and scientists with years of experience developing data acquisition, instrumentation and sensor/RF systems over high-speed wired and wireless networks. The team is experienced at creating system architectures and detailed designs to meet customer’s requirements. The designs are validated at the system level using MATLAB/Simulink and other simulation tools.
