Measurable progress to production readiness –
E/E engineering, test automation & matching talents

Design Consulting GmbH combines four core services: E/E engineering, automated testing, design & modelling, and the placement of certified experts. This enables us to create scalable development teams, reproducible test processes and measurable quality for our customers – – from the first design concept to release.

E/E engineering & testing for automotive, aerospace, and defense: AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive, C/C++, MBD (Simulink), diagnostics/UDS/DoIP. Automated HIL/MIL/SIL pipelines in Jenkins/GitLab CI with KPI reporting (coverage, replay), release gates, traceability, and TISAX-compliant delivery.

Design & modelling for automotive and industrial projects: automotive design, UI/UX, CMF, visualization, CAS/CAD engineering as well as clay and hard modelling. Interdisciplinary teams support the entire development process – from concept development and digital surface modelling to physical prototypes and production-intent models.

  • HIL/MIL/SIL testing, Restbus & UDS/DoIP – automated in Jenkins/GitLab CI.
  • AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive, C/C++, MBD (Simulink) – from architecture to series production.
  • Automotive Design, UI/UX, Visualization, CMF & Industrial Design.
  • CAS Modelling, CAD Engineering, Clay & Hard Modelling – from concept to prototype.
  • Prototypes to small series, PREEvision/ECAD, BOM & drawing set, EOL testing & traceability.

What we deliver – at a glance

Four areas of expertise. Clear added value. Fast quotes.

From E/E engineering and testing to cable harnesses and the rapid staffing of critical roles, we deliver where time and quality are crucial and provide reliable assurance with project management, traceability, and clear release gates, including KPI reporting.

Engineering (E/E)

  • AUTOSAR integration (Classic/Adaptive)
  • C/C++ components, memory management
  • Model-based design: Simulink/Stateflow & code generation
  • Bootloader, ECU flashing & updates
  • Diagnostics: UDS, J1939; DIDs/DTCs
  • Cyber security & functional safety (ISO 26262)

We develop ECU software that performs reliably in the final product. Instead of delivering feature lists, we deliver integrated components, clean interfaces, and stable releases. From architecture through series support—transparent, auditable, and driven by clear milestones.

2–6 weeks feature lead time

<5% defect leakage (target)

≥70% unit test coverage

Cable harness production

  • Samples & small series (tool-free)
  • Crimping, setting, binding, heat-shrink tubing
  • Test adapters, EOL/continuity testing
  • Integration into CAD (e.g., PREEvision/ECAD)
  • Label/serial number, traceability
  • Bill of materials (BOM) & drawing set

From the first prototype to small-series production, we deliver wiring harnesses that fit—and are fully documented. Careful planning, end-of-line (EOL) testing, and end-to-end traceability ensure smooth integration and acceptance. On request, we can also support integration into your CAD environment and BOM.

5–10 days sample lead time

≥95% OTIF (target)

≥98% first-pass yield

Testing & Validation (HIL/MIL/SIL)

  • Test Strategy & Test Design (Use Cases, Boundary, Equivalence)
  • MIL/SIL/HIL – dSPACE SCALEXIO, NI PXI/cRIO
  • Restbus simulation & diagnostics: CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet, UDS/DoIP
  • Test Automation: LabVIEW/TestStand, Python; Headless & Farm
  • HIL farm, Scheduler, Reporting, Traceability

We make quality measurable and releases predictable. Automated tests, reproducible results, and clear reports enable confident decision-making. The goal is to identify risks early, increase coverage, and shorten time-to-release.

≥95% coverage (target)

≥90% reproduction rate

50–80% automation rate

Personnel agency

  • Top roles:
    • Embedded SW developer (AUTOSAR/C/C++)
    • Testing (HIL/MIL/SIL), diagnostics, test automation
    • CAS/CAD: CATIA V5, NX, Alias
    • CMF / Design
  • Speed: Shortlist in <=14 days, start often <4 weeks
  • Quality & support: Specialist screening, tech interview, references, onboarding, SLA, replacement policy

You get the right experts quickly—compliantly and with legal certainty. We actively source, technically screen, and support through onboarding so teams can deliver without detours. Our engagement models are flexible—whether AÜG, freelance, or direct hire—backed by SLAs and TISAX-compliant processes.

Shortlist ≤14 days

Interview rate ≥60 %

Design & Modelling

We combine creative design with digital precision and physical modelling expertise. From Class-A surface models and CAD engineering to real-world design prototypes, we create solutions that can be validated and developed further. This ensures consistent design processes from the initial concept phase through to production development.

≤ 0.3 MM SURFACE DEVIATION (TARGET)

100% CLASS-A QUALITY VALIDATION

≤ 4 WEEKS PROTOTYPE DELIVERY

An idea without a plan is just a dream. We turn your ideas into reality.

Why us?

Process reliability, measurability, domain expertise.

We combine hands-on project experience in OEM and Tier-1 environments with auditable processes: TISAX, Automotive SPICE, and ISO 26262. Our teams deliver with measurable outcomes—clear milestones, release gates, and KPI reporting (coverage, reproducibility, defect flow) including full traceability.

In addition, specialized design & modelling teams support projects in automotive design, UI/UX, visualization, CMF, CAS/CAD engineering, and clay & hard modelling – from the initial concept idea to production-intent prototypes.

We bring the toolchains and infrastructure (Jenkins, CANoe, dSPACE/NI, Polarion/DOORS), enabling fast project kick-off, early risk visibility, and smooth handover into series production. If capacity is tight, we can ramp up quickly with pre-screened experts (AÜG, freelance, or direct hire)—including SLAs and structured onboarding.
