One standard of technical rigor. Three ways we can help.
Whether you're upskilling a team, defending a claim, or developing an innovative IoT device, we bring the same depth of embedded systems expertise.
Technical Training
Our instructors are industry experts with deep knowledge from building and deploying high-consequence embedded systems. Students are taught by engineers with years of experience solving real-world engineering problems in innovative ways.
One of the most common feedback points that we receive is that it's clear that our instructors are experts in their fields, that they've spent "time in the trenches" and have the war stories to back that up.
- Embedded Security Boot Camp™ - learn how to secure your firmware and electronics systems using a deep-dive systems approach
- RTOS Boot Camp™ - learn how to harness the power of an embedded real-time operating system
- Event-Driven Programming With State Machines - learn how to employ event-driven frameworks and powerful UML state machines to architect high-performance, low-power firmware
- Best Practices for Safety-Critical Embedded Design - learn the hardware & firmware architectural elements that go into a world-class high-consequence embedded product
- Custom, tailored embedded systems training for your organization
- We come to you — our experts teach on-site to maximize course effectiveness and team participation
Expert Witness
We provide independent, rigorous technical analysis and testimony for litigation involving source code, firmware and electronics
- Intellectual property concerns: trade secrets, patent disputes, source code copyright infringement
- Software development disputes: subcontracted software development projects often fail in a number of ways, but who is to blame?
- IP transfer and corporate mergers: our experts can provide an independent evaluation of source code and electronics, reducing risk by providing an objective assessment of the assets in question
- Embedded systems design defects / product liability litigation: embedded electronics systems are at the heart of every medical device, vehicle and industrial control / process system. Has a design defect or malfunction led to harm, loss of service or reputational disaster?
Consulting
Security and safety must be designed into the system from the outset. Retrofitting these into a product is usually difficult, if not impossible. We help you architect, design and implement embedded systems that are secure, safe and field-ready.
- Secure system architecture and threat modeling
- Proper use of cryptography, secure boot, secure protocols, and secure firmware update
- Adoption and implementation of best practices for safety critical / high-consequence mission-critical systems
- Ongoing technical advisory retainers
