About QTSI

Quiddity Technology Solutions Inc. is a solution-driven engineering consulting organization in the areas of Functional Safety for the Automotive, Aerospace, Medical Device, and other Complex System development industries in the fast-changing world, where integrated systems with complex hardware and software are playing a key role in day-to-day life.

Safety standards such as ISO 26262 (Automotive), ARP 4761 (Aerospace), ISO 14971 (Medical Devices), IEC 61508/ IEC 61511 (Industrial Control), are a part and parcel in the safety critical products development cycle.

Our organization helps both established and start-ups clients to achieve their visions to impart safety inherently within their products.

We assist our clients in self-certification, interacting with independent certification authority such as TUV SUD/UL or as an independent auditor of their process mandated by the standards.
