FPGA systems that work, from orbit to the ocean floor.

FPGA and embedded engineering from a 100% US-citizen team in Metro Detroit, Michigan. You own the algorithms; we help you make them run on real hardware, within the size, weight, power and timing limits of fielded systems. We're a small, elite, ITAR-registered team that takes on the hardest challenges, without the overhead of a big engineering firm.

What working with us looks like

We're small on purpose. Our engineers join your team, work in your repositories and leave you owning everything we build.

  1. Extending your team

    Our engineers work as an extension of your internal team, reporting directly to your engineering leads and fitting into your existing development process. We hand-pick the engineers best suited to your project's needs.

  2. No black boxes

    Full transparency throughout development. Your team keeps complete visibility, ownership and control of the design, code and intellectual property, with no licensing fees or ongoing dependencies.

  3. Shared repositories

    We develop in a shared repository, so your engineers can review, contribute to and maintain everything we build.

  4. Your cadence, always in touch

    We adapt to your workflow, whether that means daily standups, weekly technical reviews or milestone-based meetings. In between, a shared Teams or Slack channel keeps us in constant contact for quick questions and check-ins.

  5. Twin hardware for fast testing

    We keep matching hardware setups at our facility and yours, so our engineers can develop, debug and validate designs in parallel without shipping hardware back and forth.

Embedded system design services

From startups to Fortune 500 companies and defense primes, we develop entire systems from the ground up, solve a single piece of the puzzle, or debug and optimize a system that's already built.
