How we help

Compliance shouldn’t be a hurdle at the end of a program. We build it into the design environment and the process from the first requirement, so it’s part of how the work gets done. Whatever your program has to comply with, we can help with the FPGA and firmware design, the secure development environment and the compliance work that goes with them.

  • Know what applies

    Space, defense and commercial programs each bring their own requirements. We help you work out which ones apply to your system, and design for them from the start.

  • Tools that do the heavy lifting

    Our in-house tools guide you through each requirement and answer much of it automatically, reusing proven rationales, then generate the design requirements and partner requests that come out of it.

  • A secure development environment

    We set up the design environment and processes so compliance is part of how the work gets done, with the record to prove it, not a scramble at the end.

  • Credit what you already do

    We credit the good engineering practice your team already has, add only what the risk justifies, and push back with clear reasons where a requirement doesn't fit.

Compliance is half the battle

We know the requirements embedded systems face across space, defense and commercial programs:

  • Space

    Each program tests to its own standard: NASA's GEVS, the Space Force's SMC-S-016, or a launch provider's rideshare guide. We design to those levels, with radiation-tolerant design where the mission needs it.

  • Defense

    ITAR export control and CMMC. We're ITAR registered and CMMC Level 2 ready, with a Technology Control Plan and a 100% US-citizen team.

  • Cybersecurity controls

    Flowed-down controls such as NIST SP 800-53 and the CNSSI 1253 Space Platform Overlay, worked through with our guided, semi-automated tool and signed off by an engineer.

  • Commercial

    FCC and CE for EMC, and UL for safety, with pre-compliance during design and in-house expertise and trusted test partners for the testing.

We bring the tools and the experience from past programs. And because we're small, you work directly with the engineers who know your program, not a compliance department.
