Software Engineering

Electronic Engineering Our electronics team have developed medical devices and scientific instruments with functions ranging from simple automated monitoring to sophisticated electromechanical control, diagnostics and connectivity.

Success in these areas depends on robust requirements definition and careful partitioning of functionality between electronic, mechanical and software sub-systems. The effective management of interfaces and interactions between sub-systems is key, and is greatly enhanced by an integrated team structure. For this reason our electronics engineers, designers, mechanical engineers and researchers work very closely together from the start of projects to capture, define and translate requirements into effective design solutions. Whether electronic functions are an inherent part of your new product architecture, or an existing mechanical system needs to be enhanced with new electronic features, we have the skills and knowledge to meet your development challenge.

Software Engineering A rigorous approach to software engineering is fundamental to safe, effective and successful medical device development.

Software must be carefully planned and diligently executed, but this does not mean that it has to be slow. DCA’s agile software development process is fully compliant with IEC 62304, but also draws on years of experience developing code efficiently for the consumer goods and automotive sectors.

With a powerful blend of experience, talent and rigour, our software engineers integrate seamlessly with our electronics, mechanical engineering and interaction design teams to deliver products ranging from complex electro-mechanical systems through to more simple, but equally compelling devices.
