Specialist engineers delivering perception, autonomy, and control software. Built for complex systems and real-world performance.
US-based. ITAR-ready. Founded in 2011.
Our customers do not measure failure in downtime or inconvenience. They measure it in missions aborted, targets lost, production halted, and patients placed at risk. That reality shapes how we engineer software, review systems, test assumptions, and evaluate risk at every stage of development.
High-Consequence Software. Zero-Failure Engineering. is the standard behind every system we build.
It means engineering software that performs reliably in the environments it was designed for, under real-world conditions, at production scale, and in moments where failure carries operational consequences. It shapes how we hire, how we architect systems, how we validate software, and how we partner with customers building technology that has to work the first time and keep working when conditions become unpredictable.
It didn’t start with a grand plan.
The early work kept pulling us in the same direction, toward systems that were more complex, more integrated, and less forgiving. The kind where everything has to come together: embedded firmware, real-time systems, computer vision, AI/ML.
Over time, that’s where we chose to go deeper. Not any one layer, but getting the whole system to work the way it should.
Some of the early projects included NASA robotic coordination, military fleet control, and industrial automation systems that couldn’t afford to fail. Each one pushed things a little further, and that carried into the next.
More than a decade in, that depth is built in. It shapes how we hire, how teams are structured, and how systems get designed from day one.
We’re often brought in when the problem is already hard: complex systems, tight integration, and very little tolerance for things breaking. But that same experience carries into everything we build.
Most firms start by scoping the work. We start by verifying the problem is worth solving. For programs where the cost of a wrong technical decision isn’t measured in rework hours but in missions, patients, or programs, that distinction is everything.
Identify the real problem beneath the stated requirement.
Stress-test assumptions before they become architecture.
Chart every failure mode and constraint boundary.
Build with zero-failure tolerance baked into every layer.
Ship production systems that perform under real conditions.
“There’s a class of software where being almost right is the same as being wrong. That’s the work we take on. We built this firm as a 100% American company so that the programs other teams won’t touch have somewhere to go, and so that the engineers who want to work on the hard ones have somewhere they can be trusted with the most sensitive work.”

We structure teams around the system. Perception and computer vision for Think. Autonomy and real-time systems for Decide. Operator control and human-machine teaming for Act. Embedded systems and AI/ML cut across all three.
Each area is led by engineers who work in that domain every day, with teams behind them that specialize in the same layers. You’re not relying on one person to cover the stack. You’re getting depth where it actually matters.
This is the work we’ve shipped for NASA, Teledyne FLIR, the world’s largest AMR fleet operator, defense unmanned systems primes, and medical device companies building under IEC 62304. These are systems that have to work outside the lab.
All work stays within US-based teams and infrastructure-based in Worcester, Massachusetts, ITAR-ready by structure. No offshore subcontracting, no IP exposure, no time zone friction, and no rotating bench of contractors swapped in mid-project.
When the software has to work the first time, it pays to engage early. Bring the problem, the constraints, and the thinking behind your current approach. We’ll help you pressure-test the path forward before any statement of work is written.
