Hardware Engineering Academy
Design hardware that passes the first time.
Practical, engineer-built training in signal integrity, EMC, circuit and FPGA design — with interactive calculators, worked examples and knowledge checks. When you need a second pair of eyes, our engineers review your design.
Pick a learning track
Every academy is built around real design decisions: worst-case calculations, layout rules, test methods and the mistakes that cost board spins.
Signal & Power Integrity
Transmission lines, reflections, crosstalk and high-speed channel design.
EMC & Compliance
Emissions and immunity from first principles to the test chamber.
Circuit Design
Interfaces, isolation and power — the circuits every board depends on.
FPGA Design
Architecture, resources and the board-level decisions around an FPGA.
Thermal Design
Keeping components inside their limits with the right heatsink.
Immunity Testing
Transient and RF immunity: what the tests do and how designs fail them.
More ways to engage
Whether you are learning on your own, upskilling a team or about to release a product, there is a way to work with Rising Edge.
Expert design reviews
Signal integrity, PCB and compliance reviews before you order boards — catch the expensive problems while they are still cheap to fix.
