JOULEWAVE — TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
Safety- and security-critical engineering. Startup speed.
We help companies design, build and scale technology in automotive, energy and railway — and bring the same functional-safety and cybersecurity discipline to robotics, aerospace and defence. From AI adoption to full product development.
// WHAT WE BUILD ON
Hypercar e-mobility programmes
SIL4 railway systems in daily service
Organisations of 300+ engineers
EU grants & funded R&D
Experience gained inside Europe’s leading engineering organisations
CH1 — SERVICES
Three ways we work — advise, build, scale.
01
ADVISE
Advise
Clarity before commitment. We help you decide what to build, how, and whether it’s worth it.
Technology strategy
A clear technology roadmap aligned with your business goals — build vs. buy, architecture, teams and tooling.
AI adoption & transformation
Practical, measurable AI adoption for industrial companies — see our full AI offering below.
Process analysis & feasibility
We map how your organisation really works, remove the bottlenecks, and deliver technical and business feasibility studies you can take to the board.
02
BUILD
Build
From working prototype to industrialised product — electronics, software and everything between.
Rapid prototyping
From idea to working prototype in weeks — hardware, software or both — so you can validate before you invest.
Full product development
End-to-end development of electronics and software products: requirements, design, implementation, verification and industrialisation. Battery management, traction inverters, control units, infotainment, connectivity and digital services — OTA, telemetry, diagnostics, fleet.
Functional safety & cybersecurity
Development and assessment aligned with ISO 26262 and EN 5012x (up to SIL4); cybersecurity under ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156 — from threat analysis (TARA) to secure boot and secure OTA. Safety and security built in, not bolted on.
03
SCALE
Scale
Engineering leadership, delivery discipline and funding — the machinery of growth.
Startup & scale-up support
Hands-on support for founders: engineering leadership, team building, and processes that scale from 5 to 500 people.
Program & project management
Seasoned program leadership for complex, multi-team deliveries — on time, on budget, audit-ready.
EU grants & funding
From call scouting to application, delivery and reporting — we help you win and manage EU funding for R&D and innovation.
// AI ADOPTION
AI adoption, engineered responsibly
AI is the thread through everything we do — from process automation to AI-assisted engineering. We bring it into safety-relevant industries the only way it belongs there: measured, validated and auditable.
A1
AI readiness & transformation planning
We audit where you are — tools, data, skills, processes — and deliver a prioritised roadmap with the first pilots defined, in a single sprint.
A2
Leadership & team enablement
Hands-on workshops that turn managers into AI champions and give engineering teams practical, role-specific AI skills.
A3
Workflow & agent automation
We identify where automation and AI agents create the most value, then prioritise, prototype and hand over a plan to scale — in weeks, not quarters.
A4
AI governance & EU AI Act readiness
Policies, risk classification and processes for responsible AI use — aligned with the EU AI Act and the realities of safety-relevant industries.
And because connected products are attack surfaces: cybersecurity engineering from TARA to type approval → see Services.
CH2 — INDUSTRIES
Where functional safety already runs deep.
Automotive
Where we come from. E-mobility and the software-defined vehicle — battery management, traction inverters, control units, infotainment and connectivity, developed under ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156 on programmes for the world’s most demanding OEMs.
Energy
From power electronics to power plants. We are building a solar power plant ourselves — we know the technology and the paperwork. For operators covered by NIS2, we bring OT security per IEC 62443.
Railway
Built on experience developing SIL4-certified signalling and protection systems — axle counters, level-crossing protection and incident recorders in daily service across Europe (EN 50126/50128/50129) — with railway cybersecurity per CLC/TS 50701.
Robotics
Autonomous and mobile systems held to vehicle standards: perception and control software, motor drives and power electronics, and safety functions argued from hazard analysis rather than assumed — with responsible AI adoption at the core.
Aerospace
Airborne and ground-segment electronics and software, developed with the requirements traceability, verification and configuration discipline that certification evidence demands — the same rigour our railway and automotive programmes are held to.
Defence
Defence and dual-use work where functional safety and cybersecurity are inseparable: hardened embedded systems, secure boot and secure update, threat analysis and supply-chain integrity — delivered under confidentiality as a matter of course.
// ABOUT
JouleWave exists to combine two things that rarely coexist — the rigor of safety- and security-critical engineering and the speed of a startup — for companies building technology that matters.
