Precision instruments and medical devices for life sciences and respiratory care
Hamilton Bonaduz manufactures precision instruments, ventilators, and lab automation equipment across life sciences, medical technology, and storage. The tech stack—C, C++, FPGA, ARM Cortex processors, and Windows-based embedded systems—reflects a hardware-first engineering organization building physical devices rather than pure software. Active Azure cloud evaluation and infrastructure maintenance projects indicate a shift toward cloud-based operational tooling, while hiring remains heavily weighted toward engineering (22 of 55 roles) and operations, consistent with a manufacturing business scaling production and supply-chain optimization.
