Engineering scope
Novel systems begin with open questions. Explore technical approaches, compare architectures, and use models and prototypes to test assumptions. Develop the hardware, firmware, algorithms, and interfaces needed to turn a concept into a working system.
System architectureModeling & simulationAlgorithmsPrototyping
Embedded system and software architecture
Architecture and implementation planning across processors, electronics, firmware, operating systems, and applications.
How we help
- Define system partitioning and hardware/software interfaces
- Select and evaluate processor, RTOS, communication, and middleware approaches
