Team

The people behind FPGA-Solutions.

A small, specialised team rooted in aerospace research. With us, the founders work on your project themselves.

Background

From flight systems research into practice.

All three founders worked at the Institute of Flight Systems of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), in the Safe Systems and Systems Engineering department – from active redundancy management for flight control computers to novel modelling approaches for complex avionics systems.

With FPGA-Solutions we bring this experience to companies that develop highly reliable embedded systems and need specialist expertise in FPGA development and model-based systems engineering to do so.

Values

What we stand for.

  1. Quality

    Robust, sustainable solutions that stay maintainable after the project ends.

  2. Safety & reliability

    Demanding functional safety and reliability requirements are our starting point, not an add-on.

  3. Partnership

    Long-term collaboration with our customers – as equals.

  4. Innovation

    Modern methods, technologies and processes, close to the current state of research.

  5. Transparency

    Open communication throughout development – even when it is uncomfortable.
