Hardware-based security inspection systems for cargo, aviation, and border screening
Nuctech designs and manufactures physical inspection equipment—X-ray systems, explosives trace detection, liquid scanners—deployed across civil aviation, customs, and border agencies in 170+ countries. The tech stack (Siemens PLC, ARM, C, EPLAN, Omron) reflects a hardware-first, industrial-controls engineering culture; the project pipeline shows active work on intelligent detection algorithms (2D/3D image understanding) and overseas equipment deployment. Hiring is minimal and concentrated in engineering, with material procurement and production quality control named as top friction points—typical of hardware manufacturers managing global supply chains and manufacturing complexity.
