Project and Programme Management

When you create one-offs that realise the future, you need one-off project and programme management to help bring everything to life. Your knowledge and understanding of planning, monitoring and delivery will see you involved at every beat of a product’s lifecycle. Without you, some of the most exciting innovations wouldn’t get anywhere near the light of day.

Hardware Engineering

With a mixture of engineering and academic backgrounds, our Hardware teams design and deliver a whole spectrum of technology, ranging from satellite communications to 8-bit and 32-bit systems. Sometimes, we do this by using what’s out there in the market whilst at other times we make our own custom and innovative hardware solutions. Either way, our Electronics and Embedded Engineers are always looking at how we can push technology to its limits.
