Meet BOBO!

Every engineering team has its own way of dealing with scary challenges... and at VAEngineering, we have BOBO! 🐻

He might look a little goofy, but don't let that fool you. BOBO has a special role in our team, helping us rethink how we develop electronics, automate workflows, and scale hardware development and engineering teams without compromising quality.

What exactly does BOBO do?

We're not revealing all his secrets just yet...

At electronica 2026 in Munich (10–13 November), we'll introduce BOBO properly and share more about how he's helping us make electronics development smarter, more efficient, and scalable.

Until then, BOBO wishes you a spooky Halloween! 🎃👻

After 4 years of working with us as a student, we’re very happy to finally welcome Arne as an official member of the VAEngineering team!

Over the years, Arne has already become a familiar face within the team, contributing to different projects and growing together with us.

In his new role, he’ll further strengthen our hardware engineering team, supporting electronic design, PCB development, prototyping, testing and the journey from early ideas towards reliable products.

It’s always special when someone grows with the company! From student to full-time colleague.

Welcome to the team, Arne!

Designing a great product is only part of the job.

The real test often starts after delivery.

When the product reaches the field, reality kicks in. Unexpected conditions. Installation challenges. Bugs that never appeared during testing. Customer questions that cannot wait until the next development cycle.

That’s when engineering becomes more than product design.

It means taking ownership. Supporting the customer. Investigating what went wrong. Finding solutions under pressure. And staying involved until the problem is actually solved, not just until the product has left the factory.

Because customers don’t only remember the product you delivered.

They remember how you responded when things didn’t go according to plan.

Great products are designed in the office.

Great customer relationships are built in the field! Especially when things get difficult.

A lot of people ask: “What’s the practical use of AI in a hardware and firmware company?”

Here’s a great example from last week.

We needed to reverse engineer an RS485 device. No documentation. No datasheet. No protocol description. Nothing.

Instead of starting from scratch, we used AI as an engineering tool.

We captured the communication and asked AI to help us make sense of it. Step by step, we:

→ Identified the protocol as Modbus
→ Figured out the device address
→ Discovered the relevant read registers
→ Identified the control registers
→ And ultimately controlled the device

Total time: 30–60 minutes.

Doing this manually could easily have taken us days.

And that’s where the real value of AI is for us.

It’s not about replacing engineering knowledge or experience. It’s about accelerating the work around it.

By solving these kinds of technical challenges faster, we can help our customers move faster too! Shorter development cycles, quicker integrations, faster troubleshooting, and ultimately getting them closer to their goals in less time.

Going from “we know nothing about this device” to “we can control it” in under an hour is pretty impressive.

But being able to use that speed to deliver results for our customers faster?

That’s the real evolution!

While many people were enjoying a well-deserved vacation, we gave our engineering processes a little upgrade too. 🚀

Over the past weeks, we’ve been investing heavily in our CI/CD pipelines, hardware & firmware quality processes, automated testing, and internal development tools.

Why? Because better engineering processes ultimately mean better, more reliable products for our customers.

And now it’s time for the next step: bringing AI processing on-premise to help our engineering teams analyze, test, automate and improve even faster.

So please welcome the newest member of the team:

DGX Spark 🤖

(Yes, Spark. But every new employee deserves a nickname.)

No holidays.
No coffee breaks.

Quite a lot of compute. 😄

Another investment in the future of our hardware and firmware development! With one goal: higher quality, faster feedback and better products for our customers. This without compromising on where our data lives.

Welcome to the team! 🚀

Today, VAEngineering turns 9. 🎉

What started as an idea nine years ago has grown into a team passionate about turning ideas into reality.

This milestone wouldn't have been possible without the trust of our customers, the support of our partners, and above all the dedication of our incredible team 💚! Every challenge we've solved, every product we've helped bring to life, and every success we've celebrated has been a shared achievement!

To everyone who has been part of our journey: thank you. Your support, collaboration, and confidence mean the world to us.

Here's to the next chapter of innovation, engineering, and building great products together!

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending an insightful seminar hosted by Würth Elektronik BeNeLux on buck converters and power inductor selection.

The session covered practical design considerations, including what to look for when selecting inductors, how different choices impact converter performance, and where opportunities exist to optimize both cost and efficiency. It's always valuable to combine theory with real-world design experience to make better engineering decisions.

A big thank you to Raf Vleugels for delivering an engaging and informative session, and to Jens De Roover and Gilles Coppens for their support and for making the event possible!

Continuous learning and knowledge sharing are key to building better electronic designs. Looking forward to putting these insights into practice!
