About

Built by people who have built engineering organisations before

ECS.SDX is a Bulgarian service company providing software, hardware and mechanical design, development and testing. The core team that established the centre has worked together for more than fifteen years.

Growth and core team

The core team that established the centre has worked together for more than fifteen years in automotive and non-automotive embedded devices. The company grew around that core — teams and leaders with common values and a shared vision, motivated to work at product level rather than task level.

The team was assembled over twenty-five years across automotive, communications and consumer electronics. Every one of our employees has years of experience in global corporations that are a byword for quality, and the average experience across the team is more than fifteen years.

In general, our approach is to handle projects at product level: from Request For Quotation to Start Of Production, including production support and model-year updates. That means providing all the engineering skills a successful project execution needs — on time, at a competitive price, and with guaranteed quality.

Values

What the company is actually like

The customer comes first

Care for the customer, quality, and honouring the commitments we have made are the three things we do not trade away.

A culture close to a family one

The values inside the company are close to family values. That is not a slogan — it is why the core team has stayed together for more than fifteen years.

Proven management, not improvised

A well-built management structure that has proved itself over the last two decades, with deep knowledge of every process and methodology for product and project development.

Efficient, well-structured teams

Teams organised to deliver high quality on short timelines at an attractive price — the three things usually presented as a trade-off.
