Technical product design behind some of the world's great companies.

Technical product design and production support is our core business, to help your business. You can tap these resources to resolve problems with internal developments, or to execute complete product designs when your own resources are stretched.

At 40 design engineers, we are the largest independent design house in Scotland, and the largest ASIC design house in St Petersburg but we work with quality rather than numbers: by maintaining the most skilled and productive design engineers, with the latest EDA tools and an excellent attitude in working with our clients. These core assets gives us the ability to execute extremely difficult designs quickly, handling the full spectrum of design in-house.

All work is within an ISO9001:2000 quality system.

Reduce time to market: ensure the specification is right, and that the proposed solution really works

Getting the specification right is the biggest cost and time saving that can be made in a project.
Deep Life are experienced with UML and other specification languages, using mathematical modeling extensively to ensure a system will actually do what it is intended to do, before it is designed in detail.
MatLAB, Simulink, Python and C++are used by Deep Life to build models and environments very early in a project to enable specifications to be checked for ergonomic issues as well as technical performance.
Examples of the work Deep Life has done are on the Open Revolution part of this website, and the Deep Life team was also a prime developer of the original StatEye, the tool adopted by almost all standards committees and companies developing high speed links and buses.

ASIC Design Team

  • Over 70 designs completed, mostly at the limits of the current technology
  • RF and high speed communications is a speciality
  • Safety critical and very complex designs another speciality
  • A genuine global best of class resource to help you achieve the near impossible

The ASIC Team is supported by a very experienced and capable electronics team that offers:

  • Design of even the most complex systems, such as in the ATE sector some contained over 12,000 components per board yet brought smoothly and successfully into production
  • Design of large FPGAs in Verilog, with experience of complex systems with over 50 FPGAs per board.
  • Design of ultra high performance analogue (ultra low noise, ultra stable, low drift)

Fixtures and application software for ASICs can be provided by Deep Life's Software team, who are experienced with complex systems in UML, C and C+, and automated software testing and quality control, including GUIs

Mechanical Design Team

  • Developed very complex systems, including items for space use, life critical and complex scientific equipment as well as high volume products
  • All work in 3D analysis including gas and liquid flow modelling, thermal modelling and microwave field modelling
