Who works with Aquila?

Deep tech startup

You are developing an innovative mechatronic system and need complete senior expertise without building a full team

High-density actuators, electric mobility, precision robotics. We take charge of the system architecture, system physics and the path to a validated prototype. From technical specification to investor demonstration.

Industrial R&D team

Your programme is moving forward but a critical building block is stuck: actuator, control, electronics or system architecture

We join your team as senior reinforcement: electric motors, advanced control, embedded software, subcontractor management. We deliver measurable results on your programme within a few weeks.

Critical systems

Your system operates in a severe environment — aerospace, automotive safety, naval — and tolerates no physical compromise

Rigorous modelling, bench validation, mastery of standards (ISO 60034, ISO 26262). Expertise built on real programmes: electric propulsion on the Barracuda programme, electric recreational vehicle in series, Artemis lunar rover, electric VTOL.

Our Services

01 — System architecture

System definition and mechatronic architecture

We structure your system with rigour and ambition from the definition phase: multi-domain architecture, target performance, anticipation of future constraints, tests, validations and deliverables. Your products gain in innovation, robustness and competitive advantage.

02 — Actuator design

Electromagnetic actuator design

A rigorous method based on simultaneous exploration of multiple topologies, multi-objective optimisation for cost / performance / footprint, accounting for economic and supply constraints. From analytical pre-design to instrumented prototype in a few weeks, with a system vision integrating control and electronics.

03 — Advanced control and system simulation

System simulation, control algorithms

Whether you entrust us with the full development or only the control part, we bring the same rare mastery: physical system and control law developed in coherence. System modelling, advanced law synthesis, microcontroller deployment via Model-Based Design.

04 — Electronics design

Electronics tailored to the system, schematic and BOM ready to manufacture

We define the electronics architecture in coherence with your actuator, your control and your system constraints. From requirements analysis to schematic and industrialisable BOM. Our partners handle PCB routing and assembly. We validate functionality on bench to deliver tested prototypes or small series.

05 — Validation and characterisation

System characterisation, measured performance and guaranteed specifications

We define validation tests from the design stage, then execute them to guarantee the parameters of your specification or datasheet. Also available standalone: characterisation of any existing mechatronic system, independent qualification or actuator testing subcontracting.

06 — From prototype to series production

From prototype to series, without supplier surprises

Failing supplier, schedule pressure or costs to bring back under control. We intervene on your industrialization chain with concrete experience across France, Europe and Asia. Supplier audit & selection, specifications, milestone management and production support — by those who know your system.

07 — Reverse engineering & competitive analysis

Understand, reproduce, outpace.

Missing supplier, obsolete component, undocumented system or competitor to dissect — we intervene with physics. Electromagnetic actuators and mechatronic systems: simulable models, reconstituted schematics and technical reports to decide or design with full knowledge.

08 — Training

Technical training delivered by engineers who design these systems every day.

Applied electromagnetics, advanced control & Simulink simulation, integrated system training: structured modules, adaptable to your team and your real cases. In-house or individual coaching.
