“We could not have obtained the [Tier-1 OEM supplier] design win without SRD's support.” Tatsuo Y.
VP of Systems Solutions
[MPU/MCU Supplier]

“Systemic Realtime Design has provided superb customer support and sales engineering support..., and has been very beneficial in aiding us to close new accounts.” Anand R.
Senior Manager
[MPU/MCU Supplier]

“David and his team had more than just the technical knowledge and abilities that we needed to successfully complete our project - they also had the ability to listen to what we really needed. That's a skill most contract companies in this industry are missing. I'd work with him again.” Dave G.
Senior Staff Engineer
[a Tier 1 supplier of CVP/ECD Semi-Con equipment]

“SRD guided our engineers through initial resource manager and application level programming for QNX/Renesas SH-4, cutting our original time estimates in half.” Steve F., Ph.D.
Senior Design Engineer
[a Tier 1 Contract Manufacturer]

“... None of our engineering team had any prior experience with the QNX-OS. Within weeks SRD had developed a software project plan, and plowed directly into implementation. Somewhat to our surprise, they managed to complete the entire project in a few months, relatively on-time and within budget. I am pleased to offer my support and recommendations for the SRD team to anyone who is interested in using their services.” James J., P.E.
