Mechanical and electromechanical equipment for space, energy, and naval sectors
APCO Technologies designs and manufactures high-precision mechanical and electromechanical systems for space, energy, and naval industries from its Swiss base. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first engineering culture: FPGA tools (Vivado, Quartus), embedded systems (RTEMS, RTOS, VHDL/Verilog), simulation and CAD (CATIA, FEMAP, MSC Nastran, Simulink), and physical test equipment (oscilloscopes, Polyworks). Hiring is heavily weighted toward mid- and senior-level engineers (37 of 40 open roles), with active velocity across Switzerland and France—consistent with executing complex supplier qualification, prototype development, and nuclear facility maintenance contracts.
APCO Technologies is a family-owned Swiss manufacturer founded in 1992, operating across 201–500 employees. The company specializes in end-to-end delivery: feasibility studies, mechanical and electromechanical design, FPGA and embedded systems development, manufacturing, integration, testing, and field services (commissioning, maintenance, technical assistance). Primary sectors are space, energy (including nuclear), and naval. The organization holds EN 9100 (aerospace/defense), ISO 19443 (nuclear), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and ISO 27001 certifications, reflecting the regulatory rigor of its customer base. Active projects span supplier qualification, prototype cable routing, digital/AI integration, API-based system interconnection, and on-site support for critical infrastructure like nuclear power plant lifting systems.
APCO uses FPGA design tools (Vivado, Quartus), embedded systems frameworks (RTEMS, RTOS), hardware description languages (VHDL, Verilog), simulation (Simulink), CAD/FEA (CATIA, FEMAP, MSC Nastran), and test equipment (oscilloscopes). Development includes C, C++, Python, and assembly for embedded applications.
