Mixed hardware & software project


 
 

We are two engineers, with PhDs in Electronics and Computer Science, both from the same French school (CNAM, Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers).
After more than 6 years working as wage-earners, we have decided to start our own business.

We offer to develop, "free of charge", a mixed hardware/software project.

For you, the bonus is the cost!

For us, it's a way to make sure the project fulfils a market requirement.

We will take on the project that has the most technical interest and the best commercial potential.
In view of our available resources, this project should not require more than one man-year.

Here are our skills and previous projects:
 

12 years' experience in hardware and software engineering
