Hardware, FPGA & Embedded Systems

SCS is your competent partner for the development of hardware, FPGAs and embedded systems.

Since our development of the first Swiss supercomputer in 1994, we have successfully implemented over 3000 challenging customer projects: from camera-based driver assistance to SIL-certified switch control; in the laboratory, car and data centre; from prototype to industrialisation.

  • First Time Right

    Mistakes are expensive in complex development projects. Our tried-and-tested processes and in-depth expertise minimise your time to market. We rely on sustainable architectures, clean documentation and implementation as well as thorough testing. Thanks to continuous integration, automated builds and tests, we develop the highest quality.

  • Full-Stack Support

    Our technological breadth and many years of experience enable solutions from a single source: from hardware to FPGA, system-on-chips and GPUs to RTOS, Linux or Baremetal; from Assembler to C/C++ and Rust to Python; from Automotive Ethernet to Flutter GUI. We love interdisciplinary challenges across the entire technology stack.

  • Optimum solutions

    From the first workshop to the industrialised series product, we support you in the development of your embedded system. We can count on the many years of experience and broad expertise of our employees. Thanks to our hardware, FPGA and software expertise, from microcontrollers to supercomputers, we design an optimally harmonised overall system.

We work on a vendor-neutral basis and use the FPGA or microprocessor that best suits the application. These are often products from AMD (Xilinx), but we also use FPGAs, microprocessors and system on chips (SoC) from Intel (Altera) or Lattice.
