About Ateleris and Our Values
We established Ateleris GmbH in 2016 as a University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland FHNW spin-off. Ateleris is an accredited start-up at the TECHNOPARK Aargau in Brugg, Switzerland.
We are an experienced software technology provider working on applied research and development projects for industrial and public partners in Switzerland and internationally. We offer our know-how and expertise to collaborate on projects with a certain je-ne-sais-quoi. Our team members are professionals with strong backgrounds in their respective areas of specialization, such as software development, embedded programming, algorithm design, machine learning, data exploitation, and optimization.
We are focused on (re)using technology and transfer knowledge and know-how from one domain to another. Thus we are involved in projects from a wide technological and topical range: we have developed embedded flight software and algorithms for satellites, engineered software so that robots find their way around, developed algorithms and smart applications for industry customers, and built data analytics solutions for data exploitation by business clients.
We are very interested in unconventional and challenging projects that allow us to use all of our experience. We prefer to work together with you on finding the right solutions in an agile and collegial manner. Finally, we promise to be honest, focus on your problem, and strive to find elegant and innovative solutions that fit your needs.
