Built to Run.
Built to Last.
Built to Scale.
The automotive industry demands zero tolerance for downtime, data integrity failures, or security vulnerabilities. We design against those expectations as a first principle.
Edge-first. Cloud-native. Protocol-agnostic.
Edge-First Design
Fleet hardware buffers, processes, and prioritizes data locally before cloud uplink—continuous operation during connectivity loss, lower transfer costs, no lost visibility.
Microservices Cloud Backend
Containerized, independently deployable, horizontally scalable services—ingestion, dispatch, analytics, APIs—enabling zero-downtime updates and granular capacity scaling.
Multi-Protocol Communication
CAN, LIN, RS485, BLE, and Ethernet-based networks. A protocol-agnostic ingestion layer normalizes data across heterogeneous vehicle types and generations.
No command without cryptographic verification.
Encrypted Command Channels
All remote commands traverse TLS-encrypted channels with device certificate validation. Source and target identity are cryptographically verified before execution.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular RBAC across platform and portals. Operators, supervisors, drivers, and executives see only what their role requires. Every access event is audit-logged.
OTA Security Framework
Package signing, integrity verification, staged rollout with automated health checks, and rollback triggers—aligned to UNECE WP.29 / ISO 21434.
Transparent programs. Owned outcomes.
Agile Program Governance
Two-week sprints, weekly stakeholder syncs, milestone-based reporting—full visibility without micromanagement. Pod leads own delivery accountability.
IP Ownership & Confidentiality
Full IP transfer on all client-commissioned work. NDAs before technical disclosure. Engineers operate in client-specified repositories with strict access controls.
Quality Gates & Code Standards
Automated quality checks, peer review, and coverage thresholds on all deliverables. MISRA C for safety-relevant embedded code; OWASP for cloud-facing APIs.
Phase 3 of the Kaarnex roadmap converts engineering learnings into reusable accelerators—OTA testing SDKs, HIL automation frameworks, and vehicle simulation tooling—reducing custom build time and de-risking program timelines for engineering clients.
