ZP Engineering srl offers complete design services for embedded and DSP systems, focusing in industrial and digital audio designs. The company has started in 1998 and has now completed over 120 successful designs over a broad range of applications.

Our services include all design phases, leading to the delivery of working prototypes, and small-to-medium production of boards and systems.

Extensive in-house software and firmware development capabilities are available, on embedded DSPs, RISC processors, x86 and host (Linux and Windows based). Long-term expertise in FPGA design is part of our offering.

We believe that current electronic design dictates the need to handle projects in an integrated and interdisciplinary way.
