PCB layout design
Multi-layer boards laid out for manufacturability, signal integrity and thermal reality — from component placement to controlled-impedance routing.

Hardware design, AI & edge, and the engineering judgment to ship it.
MASH AI Technologies is a founder-led hardware-design and technology-consulting firm in Waterloo, Ontario. We take startups, SMEs and manufacturers from schematic to a production-ready board — PCB layout, AI/edge-hardware consulting, and design review grounded in senior semiconductor experience.

Datasheet · 00 — Overview
A specialist hardware partner — not a general IT shop.
Most product teams don't need another generalist. They need someone who has laid out dense, high-speed boards, sat in front of an oscilloscope at 2 a.m., and shepherded a design through fabrication and assembly. That is the entire focus of MASH AI Technologies: senior electronics engineering, offered directly by the founder.

AI & edge-hardware consulting
Selecting the right MCU, SoC, accelerator or sensor stack to run inference at the edge — balancing performance, power and cost for your workload.

Prototype-to-production support
Bridging the gap from a working prototype to a repeatable product — bring-up, iteration, test planning and the hand-off to volume manufacturing.

Design review & advisory
A senior second set of eyes on your schematic, layout or architecture — catching the issues that cost a re-spin before they reach the fab.

Supplier coordination & documentation
The un-glamorous work that decides whether a board can actually be built: clean BOMs, fabrication and assembly files, design notes and the supplier conversations that keep them consistent.

Datasheet · 02 — Why MASH AI
Senior depth, applied directly to your board.
The founder's background spans major semiconductor and technology firms — the kind of environment where getting the hardware right is not optional. That experience is not abstract here: it is the person doing your layout, running your design review, and talking to your fabricator.
- Deep technical credibility. Real semiconductor and product experience, not a generalist reading a datasheet for the first time.
- Precise, high-trust delivery. Documentation and communication that a manufacturer and an investor can both rely on.
- AI-aware hardware. Designed by someone who understands both the silicon and the model that has to run on it.
Datasheet · 03 — Engagement
How an engagement runs.
A straightforward, senior-led path — you always know what stage you are in and what comes next.
Discovery
We scope the product, constraints and target — performance, power, cost, timeline and where it will be built.
Design
Schematic, layout and hardware architecture take shape, with AI/edge component choices made deliberately.
Review & iterate
Design reviews, prototype bring-up and measured iteration close the gap to a board that behaves.
Document & hand off
Clean BOMs, fabrication and assembly files and design notes go to your suppliers — ready to produce.
Datasheet · 04 — Sectors
Built for research-driven and product companies.
We work with Canadian teams shipping real electronics across a range of demanding sectors.
AI & embedded systems
Edge inference, sensor fusion and connected controllers.
Smart devices
Consumer and pro hardware where size, power and cost all matter.
Healthcare tech
Precise, reliable boards for regulated and clinical environments.
Industrial automation
Rugged control and sensing for the factory floor.
Agri-tech
Field-hardened electronics for monitoring and automation.
Consumer electronics
Cost-sensitive, high-volume designs that still have to feel premium.
“Good hardware is decided long before the board is fabricated — in the placement, the review and the documentation. My job is to bring that senior-level judgment directly to the teams building Canada's next generation of electronics.”
Imran Ahmed Khan — Founder & Principal Engineer, MASH AI Technologies
