Testimonials

We contracted Mixed Signal Systems to work with us in expanding our semi-automated, quad-site IC test system into a 24-site test system. Kieran very well understood our requirements and gave a lot of input in the project which allowed us to expand the solution into a scalable system that can go up to 64 sites.

Kieran was very hands-on in every area of the project, particularly on the hardware design, component selection that would work over the operating temperature range, and a mechanically robust system that allows ease of operations and maintenance of the system.

Mixed Signal Systems also delivered the software library that drives the system and was easily integrated into our main software framework. The hardware worked first time, so we were very pleased with that. We’re also happy that our throughput has increased dramatically using this new system.

We really enjoyed working with Kieran because he is not only very knowledgeable in this field, but he was also very supportive in resolving challenges we had along the way. Despite the many obstacles brought by the pandemic, Kieran helped us get through this tough time and delivered the product just in time with high quality.

I consulted Kieran of Mixed Signal Systems on a personal word-of-mouth recommendation from a friend and colleague of mine in the digital health technology space. We had an initial day workshop that Kieran ran to scope out the project phases, timelines and discover together what is possible inside of the vision my business partner and I had created for our health technology start-up. The workshop was incredibly useful and productive. Kieran’s technical know-how just blew me away and his listening for what is possible was outstanding. Kieran was interested in who we were as people and the “why?” behind our Company, our own personal narrative. He got related and connected with us in the first hour of the workshop. Kieran was straight about navigating the likely hurdles along the journey, provided his insights on funding options and his experienced views on the development of a minimal viable product. Both I and my business partner left the workshop energised, excited and confident to take on the next phase of our start up journey.
