MKA Inc
Canada
We specialize in the final 20% of projects that are 90% behind schedule. When internal teams hit a wall with timing violations, routing congestion, or elusive bugs, we provide the surgical expertise required to bridge the gap to production. Unlike generalist design houses, we operate as a high-precision rescue unit for the electronics industry.
With 15+ years of independent consultancy experience, we solve the problems that stall production. We offer direct accountability—no junior engineers, no account managers, just senior-level execution.
Why US Clients Choose Us:
* Speed: We offer a 48-Hour Project Health Audit to diagnose bottlenecks immediately.
* Seamless Engagement: Canada-based corporation fully set up for direct Corp-to-Corp (C2C) billing. USMCA-eligible principal available for on-site emergency support if required.
* Zero Learning Curve: We integrate with your existing Git/SVN workflow and toolchains instantly.

Project Takeover & Rescue
Is your FPGA project stuck in “99% Complete” purgatory?
We step in when legacy projects stall or when the original design team is no longer available. Our “Rescue” methodology focuses on stabilizing the build, documenting the undocumented, and driving the design to a release-ready state.
Our Rescue Process:
* Rapid Codebase Audit: We identify the “why” behind the failure—whether it is architectural bottlenecks, CDC violations, or poor constraint management.
* Spaghetti Code Refactoring: We clean and modularize inherited RTL to make it maintainable for the long term.
* Emergency Bug Squashing: We deploy advanced verification techniques to catch intermittent bugs that are delaying your ship date.
We don’t need hand-holding. We grab the repo, fix the build, and get you to production.
FPGA Timing Closure & Optimization
Closing timing is not magic; it’s physics and architecture.
As designs move to high-utilization nodes (Xilinx UltraScale+, Intel Agilex), “running the tools” is no longer enough. We specialize in manual, high-complexity timing closure for designs that have failed standard compilation flows.
Core Competencies:
* Critical Path Analysis: Deep-dive analysis into setup/hold violations to identify the exact logic levels causing the failure.
* Congestion Relief: Strategic floorplanning and logic optimization to relieve routing congestion in high-density regions.
* Cross-Domain Reliability: Comprehensive CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) analysis to ensure data integrity across asynchronous boundaries.
Supported Toolchains: AMD/Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus Prime.
The 48-Hour Timing Audit
Don’t commit to a massive contract. Start with a diagnosis.
For a flat engagement fee, we provide a 48-Hour Timing Audit. You send us your failing reports and constraints; we send you a roadmap to closure.
What You Get:
* Root Cause Report: Is it the constraints? The RTL? Or physical device limitations?
* Quick Wins: Immediate setting changes or constraint relaxed that can improve WNS/TNS instantly.
* The Fix Plan: A fixed-scope proposal to implement the necessary RTL or architectural changes to close timing permanently.
Ideal for Engineering Managers who need an objective “second opinion” on why a project is slipping.
