About ECU Design
For over a decade, ECU Design has successfully delivered cutting-edge System Architecture Products meeting legal requirements from Quality and Functional Safety point of view.
The company embarked on its journey in 2010, covering multiple activities in Electronic and Embedded Systems, satisfying customer demands such are Functional Safety, Requirements Traceability, Hardware and Software Components Reusability. We strive for compliance with legislation and customer integration in the development process, while following an yearly updated Quality Management System with the last quality standards as is IATF16949, ISO15288, ISO/IEE/IEC12207, IEC61508, ISO26262.
Grounded on experience in Electronic Control Unit development for the automotive industry since 2019, ECU Design is focused on the fusion of Functional Safety with System Architecture. Thus, ECU Design offers competitive solutions for Hardware and Software development under Automotive industry specific regulations.
ECU Design is able to take full responsibility for compliance with legal requirements during the development of programmable and non-programmable electronic equipment that serves integrated systems in road vehicles.
From Concept phase to Prototype, ECU Design offers bespoke support for your organization, encompassing engineering services and consultancy on up to date and widely used industry standards and tools.
Who We Are
We are a consortium of four companies on three Economic Aria: Africa, United Kingdom, European Union. Thus, we manage to cut costs and ensure the best price and quality for our customers. Our team is well defined by process, number of voters trough core decision management.
What We Do
From an early stage of Requirements Analysis up to Validation stage, ECU Design supports it's customers with specialists certified by INCOSE (for System Life Cycle) and TUV-SUD (for Functional Safety, ISO26262).
Our tools and process design services are tailored to follow customers' needs.

Achieving Quality:
- Process
- Standards
- Management and Leadership
The key driver of quality is the process in place. A notable challenge is faced while shaping a process such that it respects the relevant standards, legal requirements and customer requirements. In order to surmount this challenge, ECU Design proposes a Quality Management System fitting each particular project, it's attributes stemming out of the type of the system, nature of the industry, the customer's specific processes. This is achieved through Skills Management and System Engineering Activities.
The main points of the process are found at the intersection of the standards involved in each particular project.
Our History
The Initial idea comes in 2011 from a group of companies from East Europe that created a consortium called NucleuDeInginerie. Each company had its own main economic activity, but together created a couple of projects that had common interests, such as DC-DC Convertors, DC- AC Inverters, Low Voltage Embedded Systems, Electronic Motor Control, High Voltage Systems, Automotive Equipment.
In 2015 year, NucleuDeInginerie extended its activity in United Kingdom through.
In 2018, NucleuDeInginerie became ECU Design and extended its activity in Germany. This decision has been taken as a BREXIT effect.
In the year 2021, ECU Design (former NucleuDeInginerie) extended its activity in Africa (Mauritania).
