Analog and digital power electronic designs tailored to an ever-changing environment
Technical Systems Design was founded in 2008 to fulfill a need for high-end custom designed digital and analog power and control systems for the power electronics industry. All our products and services since the start were specifically designed and tailored for our customers to address a specific need in their equipment or operation.
Today the Technical Systems Design team is managed by two senior engineers with many years of experience, we are IEEE registered and remain committed to our role as a specialized design and engineering company with an innovative approach to complex engineering problems.
Engineering expertise includes; LabView development, SPICE and LISA simulation of power electronics, analog circuits, digital systems including micro processors. 3D PCB layout, 3D mechanical CAD & CAM coupled with uP, PLC and HMI programming in C, C+, and FlowCode. All this achieved in our state of the Art development suite for prototyping to the point of production makes Technical Systems Design unique and well suited to provide well engineered solutions and engineering support for customer needs.
We make use of partnerships and or specialist subcontractors for the series production of our products and services.
Technical Systems Design is a level 4 BBE contributor and strive for more than 70% local content in all our projects.
