Product Design: Mechanical, Electronic & Textile Development
We design innovative products integrating mechanics, electronics, firmware and technical textiles.
All the expertise needed to design a complete product
AQ-Tech brings together mechanics, electronics, firmware, technical textiles and smart textiles within a single team. This integrated capability allows us to design reliable, coherent and optimized products from day one.
Mechanical Engineering Office
We design robust mechanical structures adapted to functional and industrial constraints: plastic parts, machined components, sheet metal, complex assemblies and multi-material interfaces. Our process relies on advanced CAD modeling, simulations for proper sizing, and rapid prototyping to validate strength, ergonomics and integration with electronics or textiles.
Mechatronics Engineering Office
We develop mechatronic systems integrating motion, motor control, precision actuation and human-machine interfaces. Our approach combines mechanical, electronic and firmware development to design connected, automated or robotic devices ensuring seamless coordination between actuators, sensors and embedded processing.
Electronics Engineering Office
We design complete electronic architectures for connected systems, embedded sensing and machine control. Our teams develop multilayer PCBs (rigid, flex or rigid-flex), integrate STM32, ESP32, Nordic microcontrollers and communication modules such as BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Sigfox and Zigbee. Embedded firmware is developed in C/C++, Python or FreeRTOS to ensure stability, performance and energy efficiency.
Technical Textile Engineering Office
We develop technical textile products and soft inflatable structures integrating mechanics, electronics and advanced materials. Our expertise includes connected garments, wearable medical devices, technical airbags and smart textile solutions. We manage material selection, fabric choice, pattern-making, textile architecture and electronic integration within soft, durable and washable structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external engineering office?
An external engineering office is a technical partner that manages the design, development and validation of your product. AQ-Tech acts as an extension of your internal teams: we handle needs analysis, mechanical and electronic design, textile integration, prototyping and testing. This approach accelerates projects, reduces technical risks and gives you immediate access to multidisciplinary expertise.
Who are AQ-Tech’s services for?
Our services are intended for startups, SMEs, mid-caps, industrial companies and laboratories looking to develop an innovative product or strengthen their technical capabilities. We work on fully outsourced projects as well as support existing teams during critical phases: design, prototyping, smart textiles, embedded electronics or industrialization.
Do I need a detailed specification before starting?
No. We can start from a concept, a non-formalized idea or a simple functional requirement. We help you structure the specifications, define essential functions, usage constraints, expected performance and product architecture. This early phase helps secure the project and ensures faster, more reliable first development steps.
Can you handle a complete product (mechanics + electronics + textile)?
Yes — this is our core strength. AQ-Tech integrates mechanics, electronics, firmware, technical textiles and smart textiles within a single organization. This eliminates module incompatibilities, accelerates prototyping and gives you a single point of contact for the entire development. Performance, ergonomics, textile comfort and electronic robustness are validated together for a coherent final product.
How does a product design mission work?
Each project begins with needs analysis and system architecture definition. We then design the mechanical, electronic and textile modules and produce functional prototypes to validate technical choices. Fast iterations improve the product before optimization and industrialization preparation. This structured method ensures reactive, reliable and aligned development.
Do you work on medical or regulated products?
Yes. We design wearable medical devices, instrumented textiles, biometric sensors and inflatable medical systems. Our teams prepare technical files, preliminary validations and all required elements for CE/MDR certification pathways. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures control over usage constraints, durability, safety and biocompatibility.
