Silver Atena – Engineering for Safety-Critical Electronic Systems

Reliable electronic systems for automotive, aerospace and defence.
Close-up of an electronic unit with contacts and housing structure.

Since 1998, we have been developing safe and efficient electronic systems for automotive, aerospace and defence – from concept to series production.

Silver Atena is a development partner for customised control units, embedded systems and power electronics. We support you throughout the entire development process: from the initial idea and system architecture through hardware and software development to testing, validation, industrialisation and series production.

Our solutions are designed for regulated and technologically demanding markets. Our focus is on functional safety, reliability, efficiency and verifiability – key factors in applications where the highest standards of quality and dependability are essential.

This is how we develop systems that perform reliably even under extreme conditions – today and in the future.

Development Partner for Safe Electronics – From Concept to Series Production

Silver Atena develops electronic systems for applications where reliability, performance and quality are critical.

As a development partner, we support our customers throughout the entire product lifecycle – from the initial idea through system architecture, development, testing and validation to delivery.

Depending on the project scope, we also handle prototypes, pre-series and series production – either at our own facilities or together with qualified manufacturing partners.

From Development to Series Production

Silver Atena supports projects across the entire product lifecycle – from system design and architecture through hardware and software development to testing, qualification, industrialisation and series production.

This results in solutions that are not only technically robust but also optimised for certification, production and long-term operation.

Embedded Systems, Power Electronics and Functional Safety from a Single Source

Silver Atena supports projects across the entire product lifecycle – from system design and architecture through hardware and software development to testing, qualification, industrialisation and series production.
This results in solutions that are not only technically robust but also optimised for certification, production and long-term operation.

System Architecture and Integration

Every project starts with a robust system architecture. Silver Atena develops concepts and architectures for complex electronic systems, defines requirements for hardware and software, and lays the foundation for safe integration and validation of the overall system.
The result is technically reliable, economically viable solutions consistently designed for series readiness.

Hardware and Embedded Software

Our teams develop high-performance hardware, safety-critical embedded software and application-specific power electronics for demanding use cases. Functional safety, thermal design, reliability and EMC are considered early in the development process.
The result is robust electronic systems that perform reliably even in regulated markets.

Testing, Qualification and Series Readiness

Quality is not created at the end, but throughout the entire development process. Silver Atena provides verification, validation, qualification and compliance evidence to ensure that all safety objectives, certification criteria and quality requirements are met.
Through structured processes, end-to-end traceability and a clear focus on manufacturability, we create products that are designed for series production from the outset.

Industries and Applications

Silver Atena develops electronic systems for industries where maximum reliability under real operating conditions is essential. Our technologies are used wherever safety, efficiency and performance are not optional, but fundamental requirements.

Automotive & E-Mobility

For automotive and e-mobility, Silver Atena develops control units and power electronics for electric drives, high-voltage systems and modern mobility solutions. These include DC/DC converters, traction inverters, battery management systems and electrified drive systems. Our development combines technological depth with a strong focus on series readiness and industrialisation.

Aerospace

In aerospace, Silver Atena develops electronics for engine and flight control systems with the highest requirements for reliability, long-term stability and qualification. This includes FADEC systems and flight control computers for safety-critical applications. Our systematic development and verification approach proves particularly effective in aerospace projects – enabling solutions that perform reliably even under extreme conditions.

Defence

For defence applications, Silver Atena develops robust electronics, displays and control units for demanding operating environments. Our systems are designed for maximum stability, traceable development and long product lifecycles. This results in solutions that perform reliably even in complex and safety-critical environments.

Renewable Energy and Advanced Applications

In addition to automotive, aerospace and defence, Silver Atena also works on technologies for fuel cells, wind energy and other advanced industrial applications. We support our customers not only in the electrification of mobility, but also in the development of sustainable energy and drive systems.

Quality, Standards & Certifications

Our development and production processes are based on the V-model and established industry standards such as ISO 26262, ASPICE, DO-178C/DO-254 and ISO/SAE 21434. Certifications including ASPICE Level 2, IATF 16949, ISO 9001, EN 9100, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and TISAX underline our commitment to quality, information security, environmental responsibility and cyber security. For our customers, this means structured processes, transparent verification and reliable results.
