Cutting Edge Technology.

Cutting edge technology

RTD specialises in solving complex problems by bringing together the fundamentals of science with the pragmatism and application of engineering to create ground breaking products. We employ specialists like physicists, electrical engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, software developers, systems engineers and materials scientists. Our project teams are cross-disciplinary and engage the correct discipline at the right part of the project so that teams grow and shrink throughout their lifecycle.

Science & Technology

Many of the projects we work on require us to undertake fundemental research and develop / prototype new technologies or ways of doing things and then develop a product arround this, creating, testing and verifying the fundamental scientific principles behind a new technology or product.
