Capabilities
Five disciplines, one accountable team.
Mechanical, electronic, firmware, software and medical engineering in one team, with a single point of accountability across disciplines.
fCTO
Fractional C-suite techno-commercial support
Senior technical leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. We work on the client's side, holding vendors to account, making architecture decisions, and translating between engineering and commercial priorities.
- Directorship
- Techno-commercial consulting
- Due diligence
- Risk management
- IP & innovation strategy
- Investment sourcing & support
Software
Mobile, web, cloud and embedded
Full-stack engineering across application, embedded and cloud. Our Deep Core library suite of field-validated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and MQTT stacks gives clients a production-grade starting point rather than a new implementation.
We build AI into client systems and use it in our own practice: assistants and custom chat, document automation, code review tooling and agentic workflows. We also provide strategy and proof-of-concept work for teams deciding where AI is worth applying. Our own assistant is publicly available.
- iOS & Android (Flutter)
- Web apps & dashboards
- Embedded firmware
- Cloud: routing, storage, compute
- OTA update systems
- Deep Core libraries
- AI assistants & chat
- Document automation
- Agentic workflows
- AI strategy & proof of concept
Hardware
Mechanical, electronic and industrial design
We model and simulate before we build, and run tolerance analysis so parts fit on the first build. From a single mechanical design through to a 1,000-component system, the output is a manufacturing pack a factory can build from directly.
- Mechanical engineering
- Industrial design
- PCB development
- Tolerance analysis
- Manufacturing packs & BOMs
- Sourcing & procurement
Automation
IoT, mechatronics and industrial control
Sensing, actuation and control systems that run unattended in the field. Our SmartNode platform, an ESP32 board with 14 configurable I/O channels, adapts to new applications without a new board design.
- IoT & telemetry
- Mechatronics
- Industrial control
- Condition monitoring
- SmartNode platform
- Remote diagnostics
Medical
R&D, production, simulation and compliance
Devices taken from concept to clinical deployment across haematology, neurology, ophthalmology and vascular surgery. Development is structured to protect IP from the outset and to meet regulatory requirements on the first submission.
- Device R&D
- Rapid prototyping
- Low-volume production
- Sterilisation & assembly
- Clinical trial support
- Compliance & submission

The specialist network
Specialist manufacturing and test partners.
Where a part or process calls for specialist capability, we use a vetted network of manufacturers, suppliers and test laboratories, and hold them to the same quality standard as our own work.
PCB & electronics
Precision machining & fabrication
Metal finishing & cutting
Additive & rapid prototyping
Specialist components
Test, validation & certification
In-house
From CAD to finished part.
We keep design and fabrication close together, including wire forming, laser etching, PCB population and assembly, so that problems are found early, when they are least expensive to fix.

In-house
Our workshop equipment.
Prototyping, machining, board assembly and clean-bench work are done in-house, which shortens iteration cycles and lets us find problems early.
