cigus is a 20+ year-old engineering consulting firm helping technology companies execute embedded-systems projects, industrial automation, and mechatronic product development. Their stack—EPLAN, Cadence, FPGA tooling, real-time kernels (VxWorks, Yocto), plus Python and C++—reflects deep specialization in hardware-software co-design. Recent adoption of SonarQube and Coverity signals a push toward automated quality gates in embedded CI/CD pipelines, while active projects around 5G/6G technology and computer vision suggest expansion beyond traditional industrial into next-gen hardware domains.
Notable leadership hires: Operational Excellence Director
cigus delivers end-to-end technical services to mid-market and enterprise technology companies across Germany. Beyond traditional business consulting, the firm executes full-cycle engineering work: technology strategy and architecture, hardware design (PCBs, FPGAs, sensor systems), embedded firmware and software development, systems documentation, factory automation, supply-chain optimization, and interim technical leadership placement. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (46 of 85 active roles) with mid-level dominance indicates high project throughput and ongoing scaling of delivery capacity. Pain-point patterns around modernization, documentation efficiency, and process harmonization point to internal pressure to standardize and automate their own delivery workflows.
cigus serves technology, manufacturing, and industrial companies across mechatronics, electrical engineering, embedded systems, and optics sectors. They also work in 5G/6G development and camera/sensor technology.
Core stack includes EPLAN (electrical design), Cadence and Altium (circuit design), SAP and Dynamics 365 (ERP), VxWorks and Yocto (embedded OS), C++/Python/VHDL/SystemVerilog (firmware and algorithms), plus Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD for build pipelines.
