About Elix Systems
ELIX Systems SA is a Swiss technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Lausanne that develops embedded computing and electronic systems for demanding applications, with a focus on aerospace, avionics, defense and medical technology. The focus is on SWAP-optimized (Size, Weight and Power) AI edge computing solutions for manned and unmanned aerial vehicles as well as certifiable IP cores. Elix operates on a fabless model: design, development, qualification and product lifecycle management are performed in-house, while manufacturing runs through a network of qualified production partners in Europe. The services include electronics and FPGA design (circuit design, PCB layout, BSP, software), mechanical component design for system integration, in-house prototype construction with bring-up and verification, and design assurance according to DO-254, DO-178 and CE. Together with partners, DO-160 environmental tests are carried out, including EMC, temperature and altitude, vibration, humidity as well as sand and dust. At the nearshore site in Novi Sad (Serbia) with 20 employees, scalable engineering, test and qualification services are available; in total, the company employs 38 people.
