Circuit & PCB design
Circuit design and simulation, multilayer PCB layout, and power electronics. Balance electrical performance with board space, thermal demands, manufacturability and test access.
INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING. KANSAS CITY.
Engineering.
Made practical.
Electronics, firmware and software, with the whole product in mind. Hands-on engineering support to turn an idea into a working design, solve a technical problem or prepare for production.
From the first schematic to the production floor.

01 / CONSULTING
Experienced thinking.
Hands-on execution.
From entrepreneurs developing a first concept to established teams that need additional capacity, get focused technical help where it makes the biggest difference.
Embedded firmware & controls
Low-level firmware that connects the hardware to the application. MCU peripherals, control logic, communications and hardware bring-up, with attention to timing and fault handling.
Software & device integration
Applications and engineering tools that work with your hardware. Device communications, operator interfaces, data collection and test automation, supported by clear documentation.
Prototypes & mechanical integration
Bring the physical design together before committing to tooling. 3D models, enclosure and PCB fit checks, prototype planning, and assembled hardware evaluation.
Test & troubleshooting
Turn an unexpected result into a clear next step. Test planning, bench measurements and root cause analysis help identify problems and verify corrective changes.
Manufacturing & supplier support
Prepare designs for repeatable production. Component sourcing, supplier and contract manufacturer coordination, and assembly and test planning support the transition beyond prototypes.
02 / HOW WE WORK
A clear problem.
A practical path forward.
Start with the work you need done. An engagement can focus on a design review, a difficult failure or a defined development effort, with direct communication throughout.
Define the need
Review the goal, existing work and constraints. Agree on the scope, deliverables and priorities before starting.
Build & evaluate
Develop the design, investigate the issue or test the assumptions. Keep tradeoffs and findings visible as the work progresses.
Hand over clearly
Document the results and agreed deliverables, explain remaining risks and define the next steps for your team.
03 / ABOUT FE TECHWORKS
Engineering depth.
A broader perspective.
Work directly with an engineer who understands the path to production.
FE Techworks is an independent engineering business led by Jon Feldkamp, based in the Kansas City area. The work draws on hands-on development and engineering leadership across electronics, power tools and medical devices.
That experience connects detailed design work with the decisions that determine whether a project can be built, tested and supported. Performance, cost, size and manufacturing are considered together—not left for the next stage.
Clear thinking.Careful execution.Useful results.
