Hardware Development

Automotive ECU

An Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is any embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more of the electrical systems or subsystems in a vehicle.

We are working on Automotive ECU which are mostly concerned with safety of vehicle and human life.
Brake , Steering , Suspension , ADAS , Electric vehicle ECUs are our major development areas.

We perform complete hardware development lifecycle which includes designing an ECU from a conceptual idea to mass production following ISO26262 functional safety process.

We have a complete team of expert engineers involved in concept design, circuit development, PCB development , Housing development , EMC & thermal analysis as well.
