For us, developing concepts and system architecture through trade studies and context analysis is the way to go. Great system design is essential in our way of working with technical requirements, logical decomposition and design solutions. Our outstanding technical assessment and decision analysis skills stem from extensive practice surrounding everything from technical, interface and risk management to processing and balancing security and safety requirements.
We are used to working with all types of automotive data communication infrastructures and networks such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet and FlexRay.
We design the communication layers from physical and data link layer all the way to application with all kinds of cross-media transfer, such as data transfer between networks (CAN gateway), SOME/IP, Firmware over the air (FOTA), V2X, DoIP and other protocols.
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the billions of devices and appliances, a.k.a. things, that are connected to the internet, for the purpose of sharing and exchanging data with other devices and systems. T-engineering is converging all technologies necessary for defining a consistent infrastructure/carrier (i.e., service-oriented architecture) for the intended application (e.g., FOTA, Automated Drive).
Keeping all systems safe and secure is one of our top priorities. For us, security engineering starts with threat assessment and risk analysis (TARA) for any kind of target of evaluation. Security concepts are then designed based on TARA.
Not only do we develop software platform security concepts (such as secure communication and cryptographic services) according to Autosar but we also develop infrastructural concepts for ECU and gateways that detects and mitigates intrusions (including SEM).
Proper wiring and connector concepts are essential during electrical architecture projects, and luckily, we have all the necessary know-how within this area, including fuse strategies and signal/power/ground strategies.
Systems integration at T-engineering focuses on bringing each building block together and ensuring that they function together, delivering on target. We do this by having a highly methodical approach to the integration process. For system integration we’re using system/function benches and HIL-rigs, enabling us to detect system malfunctions early and communicate potential defects back to the systems engineering team for follow-up and revisory action.
