Software Development & Architecture
Robust architectures and clean, testable code for embedded and server platforms. System design, API/IPC, and safety-conscious implementations.
Trusted SW engineering — since 1989
End-to-end engineering: from low-level firmware to high-availability servers
We design, build and maintain complex embedded and server systems for industrial, comms and scientific customers across New Zealand. Specialties include mission-critical embedded OS work, porting legacy codebases, test automation, simulations and radio communications.
Our services
Full lifecycle engineering support — consultancy, delivery and ongoing maintenance.
Project Management
Agile and hybrid delivery tailored to embedded timelines: requirement capture, milestones, risk management and stakeholder reporting.
Testing & Test Automation
Unit, integration and system tests, CI pipelines and automated regression test harnesses for repeatable quality control.
Code Reviews
Independent code audits with actionable findings: reliability, performance, security, and maintainability improvements.
Code Optimisation
Profiling-led optimisations — CPU, memory and IO improvements, deterministic behaviour for real-time systems.
Porting of Legacy Software
Porting legacy code to modern toolchains and OS releases, backwards compatibility planning and refactor roadmaps.
Simulations
High-fidelity simulation frameworks for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), system verification and performance modelling.
Troubleshooting
Root-cause analysis across hardware, firmware and server stacks — on-site or remote, with reproducible test cases.
Radio Communications
Design, implementation and testing of radio protocols, link budgets, modulation stacks and embedded radio drivers.
Technology expertise
We combine deep low-level knowledge with practical server-side engineering — ideal for industrial, comms and scientific systems.
