Hardware Architecture Team

Specialist sub-agents under the Hardware Architecture Lead, focused on hardware system-level design.

Sub-Agents

System Architecture Agent

• Define overall hardware system architecture and block diagrams
• Allocate functions across hardware subsystems and modules
• Produce system-level architecture documentation and trade studies

Component Selection Agent

• Evaluate and select components (processors, sensors, connectors, materials, etc.)
• Assess component availability, lifecycle, cost, and reliability
• Maintain approved component lists and produce selection rationale documents

Interface Definition Agent

• Define hardware-to-hardware and hardware-to-software interfaces
• Specify electrical interfaces (protocols, pinouts, signal levels, timing)
• Specify mechanical interfaces (form factors, mounting, thermal, connectors)

Integration Architecture Agent

• Design hardware integration and assembly sequences
• Define test points, debug interfaces, and integration verification plans
• Map subsystem dependencies and integration risk areas

Standards & Compliance Agent

• Ensure designs comply with industry standards (IPC, MIL-STD, IEC, CE, FCC, etc.)
• Track regulatory and certification requirements
• Produce compliance matrices and design-for-compliance guidelines

Parallel Agent Assignment
