Our products are developed in-house, including embedded software development, hardware design, mechanical design, software testing, verification and validation, compliance, AI, project management, and technical consultancy. Our team also has experience with embedded processors, microcontrollers, and sensors, alongside software libraries.
We use Lean-Agile processes, Test and Behaviour driven development with a splash of waterfall across our embedded software projects. We have created our version of these practices.
We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion as our core values. In addition, we aim to create a positive and supportive culture alongside a living wage employer investing in ongoing training and development.
