Bringing new technology to life is hard.

It takes more than engineering. It takes the right decisions at every stage, from validating the idea to building something that works and can be made.

We help you make those decisions, then we do the work: we design, build, test and get our hands dirty, from the first sketch to production.

What we do

The combination in our name.

One team works across every discipline, so everything fits together from day one.

Science and research

First-principles analysis, experiments, simulation (CFD and FEA) and hypothesis testing, to turn a lab result into something that can be engineered.
Mechanical

Enclosures, mechanisms, precision mechanics, thermal and fluid design, and design for manufacture and assembly.
Electrical

Schematics and PCBs, from femtoamp front ends to kilovolt supplies, plus low-power wireless, power distribution and battery charging.
Firmware

Embedded C, real-time operating systems and control, and communication protocols such as CAN, BLE, SPI and I2C.
Software

Operator interfaces, cloud connections and APIs, data collection, remote diagnostics and updates, and containerized software.

Ways to work with us

The whole product, or one critical part.

The whole product

We lead every phase. When you’re ready to build your own team, we help you hire it.
One phase

Bring us in where you are: to prove the science, to get a prototype working, or to make a design ready for production.
An unsolved problem

No off-the-shelf answer, and a team already at capacity. We research, test and build alongside your engineers, without disrupting their priorities.
Fractional CTO

Senior technical leadership, part-time and hands-on: roadmap and architecture, technology validation, IP strategy, cost analysis, hiring, and access to manufacturers and partners.
One critical part

A single board, mechanism or firmware job, designed and tested.

Whatever the size, one senior lead runs your project and is your single point of contact.

Team

The people who do the work.

Their careers include two hardware companies founded, products taken to large-scale manufacturing, and more than 130 patent applications supported.

Darius Sahebjavaher

Founder · Electronics, mechanical, firmware and strategy

15 years building companies and developing foundational technology. He has a track record of inventing, designing, building and validating core technology, then building the teams that take it to market. He founded two hardware companies, serving as CEO and CTO for seven years, and has built technology for several others. BASc in Electronics Engineering and MASc in Mechanical Engineering.
Ramin Sahebjavaher

Software, AI and imaging systems

Former Vice President of Technology at Prenuvo, where he developed the core AI and imaging technology behind the company’s growth. He has led startups building AI-driven software, imaging technology and cloud platforms across healthcare, IoT and real-time computing. His work spans software architecture, large-scale data processing and regulatory compliance, in regulated and high-performance environments. PhD in Biomedical Engineering and a Master’s in Robotics Engineering.
Amir Khanlou

Simulation and mechanical analysis

Over 25 years in engineering analysis, product design and computational modelling: CFD, FEA and thermofluids, plus data science and machine learning. Formerly Technology Design and Data Analysis Lead at Genesis Advanced Technology, and nearly a decade at Coanda Research & Development Corporation. BSc and two MSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering.
Nadeem Jamal

Embedded systems and firmware

Over 14 years in embedded systems, IoT and firmware for agriculture, transportation, industrial automation and consumer electronics. AUTOSAR, RTOS and embedded C; CAN, BLE, TCP/IP, SPI, I2C and RS-232; multicore architectures; functional safety (ISO 25119); and computer vision for industrial applications. He helps companies keep embedded systems compliant with industry standards.
Mike Coyle

Product design and manufacturing

13 years leading new products and companies from concept through to large-scale manufacturing, producing in the hundreds of thousands of units, and managing cost and quality as they scale. As lead designer of the Onewheel Pint, he delivered major user experience improvements while cutting the cost in half compared with the previous model. He has developed products in medical, cycling, music, sustainability and consumer electronics, and mentors students and startups at UBC’s Sauder School of Business.
Shahram Pourazadi

IP strategy, through our partnership with Twelvivo

Innovation strategist and IP specialist, and co-founder of Twelvivo. He has curated more than 20 IP strategies, led more than 70 patent, trademark and market research initiatives, and supported the filing of more than 130 patent applications. PhD in Engineering Science.
