Engineering skills for every challenge

Our engineers have many years’ experience across multiple end markets including semiconductor design, security and defence, subsea systems, medical devices, environmental monitoring, lab instrumentation, land seismic survey, and robotics systems for factory automation.  

With time-served in academia, start-ups, SMEs and major multinationals such as FMC Technologies, Aker Solutions, Fujitsu, Plexus, ST Microelectronics, Selex Galileo, and NXP Semiconductor, our engineers can understand the particular technology challenges and requirements faced by organisations of every size and adapt their skills to suit. 

In-house engineering team 

With a skilled engineering team in-house, we can get to the root of your challenge quickly and efficiently and make a difference. 

We can put a plan in place to build, test and implement the solution you need, whether it is sourced from academia, off the shelf commercially, or a combination of these.
