Engineering & Design

We define the right solution before anything is built.

From system architecture and electronics design to embedded firmware, CAD/BIM documentation and prototyping — MTI's engineering team turns complex operational requirements into precise, deliverable technical solutions.

6 Engineering Disciplines

End-to-end technical design

Every engagement starts with rigorous engineering. We don't recommend what we can't specify, and we don't specify what we can't deliver.

System Architecture

End-to-end solution architecture for complex, multi-layer deployments. We define the right technical blueprint before a single component is ordered — covering hardware, connectivity, software and operations.

  • Functional & non-functional requirements
  • Multi-tier architecture (Edge · Fog · Cloud)
  • Technology selection & vendor evaluation
  • Interfaces, protocols & data flows
  • Resilience, redundancy & failover design

Electronics & PCB Design

Custom electronics development from schematic capture to production-ready PCB layout. Our hardware team (via Diprotech) designs bespoke embedded systems and sensor boards for mission-critical applications.

  • Schematic capture & circuit simulation
  • Multi-layer PCB layout (up to 16 layers)
  • EMC / EMI design for compliance
  • Signal integrity & power distribution analysis
  • BOM optimisation & component lifecycle management

Embedded Systems

Firmware development and real-time embedded software for custom hardware, IoT devices, controllers and edge computing units. From bare-metal to RTOS-based architectures.

  • Microcontroller & SoC firmware (C / C++ / Rust)
  • RTOS development (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks)
  • Edge AI inference on embedded hardware
  • Low-power design for battery-operated devices
  • OTA update & remote device management

Rapid Prototyping & PoC

Fast-cycle prototyping to validate technical feasibility before full-scale development. We build functional proof-of-concepts that de-risk the project and build stakeholder confidence.

  • Breadboard & evaluation board prototyping
  • Functional PoC in 2–6 weeks
  • 3D enclosure design & printed housing
  • Laboratory testing & performance benchmarking
  • Technical feasibility reports with go/no-go criteria

CAD / BIM Design

Detailed CAD and BIM models for physical infrastructure, installation planning and digital twin integration. We produce the documentation your field teams need for accurate, first-time-right deployment.

  • Equipment placement & cable routing plans
  • BIM-integrated as-built documentation
  • AutoCAD / Revit / SolidWorks deliverables
  • 3D spatial modelling for smart building projects
  • Installation drawings & technical specifications

Technical Specifications

Rigorous technical documentation to govern procurement, delivery and acceptance. We define the standards your project will be held to — from hardware specs to interface control documents.

  • Hardware & software specifications
  • Interface Control Documents (ICD)
  • Test plans & acceptance criteria
  • Compliance documentation (CE, FCC, UL)
  • Operation & maintenance manuals
Hardware Engineering

Custom hardware, built for the harshest environments.

Through our hardware engineering capability (Diprotech), MTI designs and manufactures bespoke electronics for IoT, smart city, industrial and defence-grade applications. From a single custom sensor board to a full embedded platform — we own the full hardware development lifecycle.

Delivery Process

From brief to production-ready design

A structured engineering process that controls risk at every stage.

01

Discovery & Scoping

Workshop with your technical and operations teams to define requirements, constraints, site conditions and project objectives.

02

Concept Design

System architecture proposal with technology options, comparison matrix and recommendation. Agreed before any detailed work begins.

03

Detailed Engineering

Full technical design: schematics, PCB layouts, firmware architecture, CAD drawings, BOM, specifications and test plans.

04

Prototype & Validation

Build, test and iterate on hardware and software prototypes. Lab validation against agreed acceptance criteria.

05

Production Release

Release-to-production package: final design files, manufacturing specifications, test procedures and compliance documentation.

Why MTI

Engineering with delivery accountability.

Most engineering consultancies stop at the design. MTI's engineering team is the same team that installs, commissions and operates the solution.

Design-for-Manufacture

Every design is reviewed for instalability, maintainability and field serviceability — because our engineers will be the ones deploying it.

Vendor-Agnostic Selection

We specify the best technology for each requirement, not what we happen to stock. Our commercial independence means better technical outcomes for clients.

Integrated Hardware + Software Design

Electronics, firmware, cloud backend and integration layers are designed together — not handed off between siloed teams.

ISO 9001 Quality Management

All engineering deliverables are produced under our ISO 9001-certified quality management system with full revision control and traceability.
