ABOUT

Silver Bullet Engineering, Inc. provides embedded systems consulting services.  We specialize in safety critical systems: Medical devices, robotics, and other safety systems are our central focus.

​

We specialize in providing solutions for safety critical devices complying to IEC-62304 Medical Device Life-Cycle, IEC-61508 Functional Safety, SEMI and other safety specifications.

​

We focus on your needs and solve problems.

Quality

The difference is quality.  We've been designing embedded solutions for years.  We don't take shortcuts; we design quality embedded systems software and hardware that meet requirements.

​

The software we provide is modular, testable, has been unit tested, meets your coding standard of choice (like MISRA), and meets your schedule.

No need for Headhunters

Why pay a headhunter to find the resource you need when you can come direct to engineering professionals that speak your language; clear, concise and direct.

Summary
