Forward Deployed Engineer

The Problem

Modern aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and industrial systems depend on increasingly complex electronics. Ensuring these systems behave safely under every failure condition is one of the hardest engineering problems today.

A critical step in making these systems possible still runs on outdated principles. Engineers calculate key safety metrics in spreadsheets, manually tracing failure behaviour in highly complex systems.

Complexity is increasing exponentially. Safety analysis is becoming the bottleneck. Existing tools cannot keep up. The consequences are already visible: faltering margins, recalls, and stalled innovation.

Modelwise built the first mathematically complete platform for automated safety analysis. Engineering teams can now analyse complex systems faster, earlier, and with more rigor.

We work with leading companies across automotive, aerospace, and industrial engineering. Automated safety analysis is already starting to take hold.

We expect it to become the standard for developing safety-critical hardware.

We intend to set that standard.
