AQ-Tech Engineering: Design, Prototyping, Industrialisation & Assembly
Complete engineering services to develop your mechanical, electronic, textile and mechatronic products.
The benefits of our engineering services
With full control of the product development cycle, AQ-Tech reduces risks, accelerates technical iterations and ensures a reliable industrialisation with no functional gaps between disciplines.
Coherent and controlled development
A single integrated team handles all disciplines: mechanical, electronic, technical textile and embedded firmware. This structure eliminates technical breaks, reinforces system coherence and optimises architectural decisions from the earliest stages. The result is a more robust, better-defined product aligned with real usage and manufacturing constraints.
Reduced time-to-market
Thanks to rapid prototyping, internal testing capabilities and transversal expertise, AQ-Tech significantly shortens each development cycle. Risks are identified early, decisions are made quickly and designs are continuously refined. This boosts development speed while increasing the success rate of innovative projects.
Streamlined industrialisation
Projects are developed from day one with a design-for-manufacturing mindset: mature assembly methods, clear documentation, internal pre-series and structured validation processes. This preparation eliminates surprises, reduces costs and ensures a smooth transition to production. The outcome is a repeatable, reliable product ready for scaling.
Process mastery
A structured process from concept to pre-series: framing, system architecture, technical validations and controlled documentation.
Agility & responsiveness
Short cycles, rapid technical decisions, iterative prototypes and continuous adaptation based on the project’s real progress.
Partner ecosystem
Direct access to a proven industrial network: manufacturers, laboratories, materials experts and specialised processes.
Iterations & validation
Fast prototyping, mechanical/electronic/textile testing, EMC verification, real-usage evaluation and structured convergence.
Complete engineering services
AQ-Tech supports every step of the product development cycle: design, prototyping, industrialisation and assembly. A fully integrated process ensuring reliability, performance and an optimised time-to-market.
Product Design
AQ-Tech structures projects from the very beginning through a strong focus on system architecture. We perform mechanical CAD, electronic schematics, mechatronic integration and multi-material design to build a robust technical foundation. Each decision anticipates industrialisation, reliability and functional performance, while preparing the first validation loops.
Prototyping & Testing
We build mechanical, electronic and technical textile prototypes to validate key functions early. Prototypes undergo mechanical tests, electronic tests, EMC evaluations and integration checks. This phase minimises risks, strengthens the architecture and ensures strong technical maturity prior to industrialisation.
Industrialisation
This phase transforms a validated prototype into a repeatable and industry-ready product. AQ-Tech defines assembly processes, prepares BOMs, writes technical documentation, organises test plans and manages pre-series. The objective is a stable, cost-optimised product ready for production.
Assembly & Manufacturing
AQ-Tech performs internal assembly for small series, ensuring rigour, traceability and quality control. We develop test benches, run final validations and prepare the industrial transfer for higher-volume production. The result is a fully functional, qualified product ready for market deployment.
Integrated expertise driving every development
AQ-Tech brings together mechanical, electronic, technical textile and mechatronic expertise within a single team. This integration ensures perfect technical alignment, high responsiveness and a development process without gaps.
Embedded Electronics
Development of embedded electronics: sensors, actuators, communication, power management and EMC constraints. Compact, robust and reliable architectures.
Mechanical Engineering & CAD
Design of parts, housings, mechanisms and complete mechanical systems. Expertise in materials, kinematics, tolerancing and industrialisation.
Technical Textiles
Design and integration of technical textile structures: comfort, resistance, textile–mechanical interfaces and prototyping.
Mechatronics & Systems
Mechanical + electronic + firmware integration to build complete systems: special machines, intelligent modules, test benches, actuators and sensors.

FAQ – AQ-Tech Engineering Services
What parts of a project can you handle?
We cover the full cycle: mechanical/electronic/textile design, prototyping, testing, industrialisation and assembly. You may entrust us with a specific phase or the entire product development.
Can you deliver a production-ready product?
Yes. We manage system architecture, prototypes, tests, documentation and pre-series. We deliver a functional, reliable, industrialisable product.
How do you collaborate with in-house teams?
We can co-develop, take responsibility for a subsystem or manage the full project. Our involvement adapts to your internal skills and R&D organisation.
Do you accept complex or poorly-defined projects?
Yes. Our multidisciplinary approach helps structure the architecture quickly, identify early risks and launch technical iterations even with an initially vague need.
How do you manage technical risks?
Every decision is validated by a prototype or test: mechanical analysis, electronics tests, EMC checks, usage validation and risk assessments. This iterative approach secures the design before pre-series.
What are the typical project timelines?
Design: 8–12 weeks. Prototyping: 4–8 weeks. Pre-series: 3–6 months. Timelines vary depending on mechanical/electronic complexity and functional requirements.
Can you handle manufacturing or assembly?
Yes. We assemble small series in-house, perform final tests and prepare the industrial transfer for volume production. We deliver full assembly and quality-control documentation.
Do you work on textile or smart-textile projects?
Yes. We integrate technical textiles, soft structures, sensors, ECG/IMU/pressure systems, overmoulding and embedded firmware. This unique expertise allows us to develop industrialisable technical or smart-textile products.
