Systems Engineering

Instrument software built by engineers who ship

Full-stack systems engineering for life sciences instruments. Real-time C++ and Rust, regulatory-grade quality, and a team of competitive programming Olympiad medalists who thrive on hard problems.

What We Build

The software that makes instruments work - from bare metal to cloud.

Instrument Control Software

Real-time C++ and Rust code that runs on diagnostic platforms. We build the firmware, drivers, and orchestration layers that make instruments work - reliably, at scale, under regulatory constraints.

Real-Time Data Pipelines

High-throughput data acquisition, processing, and routing. We design pipelines that handle sensor data at microsecond resolution - from instrument to cloud, with zero data loss.

Regulatory-Grade Code

We write software that passes IVD audits. Full traceability, unit test coverage, static analysis, and documentation to ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, and IEC 62304 standards.

Containerized Deployments

Modern instrument software needs modern DevOps. We containerize instrument runtimes with Podman/Docker, orchestrate with RabbitMQ, and deploy reproducible builds to embedded targets.

Our Process

Structured delivery from architecture to validation.

01

Architecture Review

We audit your existing instrument software stack, identify bottlenecks, and map the path forward. Whether it is a legacy monolith or a greenfield build, we start with the architecture.

02

System Design

We design the component architecture, data flows, communication protocols, and safety boundaries. Every decision is documented and reviewable before a single line of code is written.

03

Implementation & Testing

Incremental delivery with CI/CD from day one. Every commit is tested, statically analyzed, and reviewed. We ship production-grade code - not prototypes that need rewriting.

04

Validation & Deployment

Full regulatory documentation, traceability matrices, and deployment automation. We hand over a system that is audit-ready and maintainable by your team.

Olympiad-Grade Engineering

Our engineering team includes International Olympiad medalists in competitive programming. That means we do not just write code that works - we write code that is algorithmically optimal, handles edge cases by design, and performs under real-time constraints. When your instrument needs to coordinate 96 channels of simultaneous pipetting, that matters.
