How we work
Building trust. Building better systems.
Whether it's throughput, real-time performance, SWaP-C optimization, or yielding the maximum payload, we treat our clients’ challenges and goals as our own.
Helping our clients build better systems that they can deploy with confidence is always our number one priority. We bring not only proven experience to the table, but also an eye for building efficient systems that don’t compromise.

Adiuvo Engineering in action
Getting to grips with the coldness of space.
A lot of our work is in the space sector, including developing a breadboard for the Payload Interface Unit for the European Space Agency Plato Mission, in partnership with Anaporia.
This particular project involved implementing a very accurate temperature measurement and heater control system, and broke down like this:
- defining the architectural and conceptual design;
- component selection;
- development of the schematics and design;
- implementation of three FPGAs
The delivered breadboard met all performance requirements and meant the complex analogue system used to measure temperature accurately could be retired. Based on the success of the breadboard, A & A are now developing the flight electronics and FPGA solutions.
Improving vision (part 1)
One of our particularly rewarding projects was to develop an FPGA-based embedded vision system. The ideas was that it could be retrofitted to the spectacles of people who are legally blind, helping improve their vision and environmental perception.
We defined the architecture; developed the programmable logic pipeline; created the embedded Linux system running on the FPGA; and created the High Level Synthesis image processing algorithms which could be dropped into the image processing chain to enable enhanced vision options.
Improving vision (part 2)
We also developed an image processing element for two Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) vision systems for a tier-one automotive supplier. We created the image processing pipeline, interfacing with several MIPI CSI-2 cameras, and the creation of both image processing and recording over 10G ethernet using GigEVision and a transparent path for observation also using MIPI CSI-2. This architecture was also capable of injecting recorded video over a GigE Vision link in playback mode.
