About

Hi, I'm Oriol. I'm an electronics engineer and an obsessive problem-solver. I help startups and companies turn ambitious ideas into cost-effective, reliable, and manufacturable hardware products. With 3+ years of experience building complex electronics in both Spain and fast-paced Swiss startups, I’ve learned one crucial lesson: "A great prototype is useless if it can't be manufactured reliably and at scale." I founded Palroc as a hardware engineering studio to bridge this gap. I'm not just a designer; I'm a product partner. My experience spans the full stack: from high-density PCB layout and firmware development (Zephyr/nRF) to 3D mechanical design (CAD) and building custom test jigs. WHAT I DO (MY SERVICES): • Product Architecture & System Design • Custom Hardware & PCB Design (Optimized for DFM) • Embedded Firmware Development (Zephyr, C/C++) • Prototyping, R&D Support & Custom Test Jigs • Legacy Product Support & Re-engineering I am always open to discussing complex challenges. Let's talk about building your hardware! Find my full portfolio and services at: https://palroc.com/linkedin

Founder & Lead Hardware Engineer

Oct 2025 – Present · 8 mos · Montsià, Catalonia, Spain · Hybrid

Palroc is the hardware engineering studio I founded to help companies bridge the gap between an ambitious concept and a manufacturable product.
We provide expert-level services for the complete product lifecycle:
Product R&D and System Architecture: Defining the right tech stack, components, and budget.
Custom Hardware & PCB Design: Building high-density, low-power boards optimized for DFM (KiCad, Altium).
Embedded Firmware Development: Writing robust code (Zephyr, nRF Connect SDK) for IoT systems and sensor interfacing.
Prototyping & R&D Support: Building functional prototypes and custom automated test jigs.
Legacy Support & Re-Engineering: Rescuing products from bad suppliers or lack of documentation by re-creating schematics and firmware.

Lead Electronics Engineer

May 2025 – Oct 2025 · 5 mos · Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain · Hybrid

Led the full-stack development of the company's core IoT wearable product.
Architected and developed the device's embedded firmware from the ground up, migrating the system to Zephyr RTOS (nRF Connect SDK) to build a stable and maintainable codebase.
Managed the complete firmware lifecycle: hardware debugging (KiCad), low-level driver development for complex sensor fusion (multi-point sensor arrays and IMUs), BLE (Cycling Power Service) implementation, and advanced power management.
Designed, built, and programmed a custom automated sensor calibration test jig from scratch, creating a reliable, in-house process for sensor characterization using Python, Arduino, and PID control logic.
Produced comprehensive technical documentation for the complete project handover.
