Engineering leaders bring together deep expertise in embedded system design, FPGA development, rugged electronics
Orthogone Technologies Inc., Saint-Laurent, QC, and Convergence Design Services, Arnprior, ON, have formed a non-exclusive partnership to support defence and automotive programs that require dependable engineering, long service lifecycles and coordinated work across embedded systems, mechanical electronic assemblies and rugged electronics. The collaboration brings together teams that have worked on defence and advanced mobility platforms and that understand how to maintain stable and predictable operation under demanding conditions.
Defence and automotive platforms must operate reliably in harsh conditions, react in real time and remain maintainable over long lifecycles. These needs require tight coordination across embedded computing, communication links, mechanical assemblies that have been designed ruggedized for harsh environments (MIL-STD-810H, DO-160, DEF STAN 00-35 or NASA/CSA).

“Our teams have developed systems that must remain operational under unstable conditions, where robust solutions are essential. This partnership brings together deep expertise in embedded system design, FPGA development, electric vehicle system behaviour, rugged electronics, and system-level integration. It enables us to support clients with platforms that demand reliable performance and predictable development paths,” said Luc Leblanc, CEO of Orthogone.

The two companies already share work processes and have experience coordinating engineering activities. This allows projects to move forward with clear communication, defined development stages and stable technical interfaces. Organizations in the Defence and automotive sectors benefit from engineering teams that know how to align embedded hardware, mechanical design and embedded software from the start of a program. This reduces delays and supports consistent delivery.

“This partnership supports clients that need direct access to experienced engineering teams and steady coordination across technical areas. Our combined engineering teams approach defence electronics development through a structured, engineering-driven process, emphasizing robust system architecture, design assurance, and traceable verification. Our team integrates advanced simulation, signal/power integrity analysis, and environmental qualification to ensure every design meets stringent MIL-STD and DO-160 requirements. From concept through production release, we apply disciplined design lifecycle process and design validation/qualification to deliver electronics that perform reliably in mission-critical defence applications,” said Ben Seaman, CEO of Convergence Design Services.
The partnership is structured to provide continuous technical collaboration throughout development, validation and preparation for production. But also along with long-term support required by avionic/defence and automotive programs.
