About

Why we're called Combination.

Because the work is a combination. Science, mechanical, electrical and software engineering, designed against each other by one team, from a sketch or a paper to the first working units.

Hard problems rarely sit inside one discipline. A reading that drifts can be a mechanical problem, an electrical one or a firmware one. When one team works across all of them, the trade-offs get settled in one place.

Four lines labelled science, mechanical, electrical and software, each in its own line style, converging into the outline of the C in the Combination logo.

How we work

Five habits.

  1. 01

    We start early.

    We help define the problem and shape the roadmap, not just build what's handed over.

  2. 02

    We work across disciplines.

    Hardware, firmware, software and strategy, so everything fits together from day one.

  3. 03

    We work with your team.

    As an extension of your engineers, not a black box.

  4. 04

    We prove the hard part early.

    Fast cycles test the technical and scientific assumptions before the big spend.

  5. 05

    Then we build.

    Once the direction is clear, we turn it into working hardware and the first units.

“We don't just offer advice. We help build, validate, get our hands dirty and execute.”
