Aerospace and marine engineering services with 35+ years of platform expertise
Stirling Dynamics is a UK-based engineering firm serving civil and military aerospace and marine sectors, with technical depth across control systems, simulation, and aircraft modification. The stack is dominated by domain-specific tools (MATLAB, Simulink, Nastyan, ANSYS, SolidWorks, NX, CATIA) paired with Epicor ERP for operations—a classic engineering-services topology. Current project focus on ERP roadmap implementation, automation, and stock management suggests operational scaling pressure, while pain points around process standardisation and integration friction indicate the org is maturing beyond legacy project-based workflows.
