Embedded systems and network hardware for rail and medical applications
Duagon manufactures embedded hardware and software for safety-critical rail and medical systems. The stack is firmware-centric (C/C++, Linux, UEFI, CAN/Ethernet protocols) with heavy CAD integration (Revit, AutoCAD, Altium) and SAP-driven operations (MM/SD modules), reflecting a hardware-first supply-chain business. Engineering dominance in hiring (64 of 78 roles) paired with active projects in embedded Linux architecture and BoxPC portfolio development signals sustained R&D investment to extend product lifespans—a direct counter to their documented pain point of long lifecycles and parts obsolescence.
Duagon is a publicly traded Swiss manufacturer of embedded electronic products and software for system-critical applications in rail transportation and medical sectors. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Dietikon, the company designs hardware subsystems, network communication devices (gateways, repeaters, media converters), and embedded Linux software stacks built to safety and reliability standards. Operating across 501–1,000 employees with active hiring in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain, Duagon manages complex supply chains (evidenced by SAP MM/SD infrastructure) while navigating long product lifecycles and component obsolescence—constraints typical of rail and medical OEM markets.
C/C++ and embedded Linux for firmware; Altium and Xpedition for PCB design; Revit and AutoCAD Civil 3D for mechanical/systems integration; CAN, RS485, and Ethernet protocols for network communication.
Embedded Linux software stacks, BoxPC product portfolio, future-oriented system architecture, type testing for electrical safety, and field validation of components for long-lifecycle rail and medical products.
