How can we help?
Design & Manufacture
Hardware specification and design
Rapid prototyping and testing
Embedded systems
Power systems
Testing and compliance
Integration with larger systems
We understand how to design for harsh environments, whether that be through making your system small, lightweight, highly efficient, or water-proof.
Our Experience & Work
Microcontrollers
Embedded software
Sensors and Instrumentation Systems
Smart electrical power systems
Satellite subsystems
We can take the lead on your project, or we can work alongside your engineers, providing technical advice. We work with some clients on a regular basis, while others will come to us for one-off or short-term projects and ongoing support.
Power Specialists
One of our key areas of expertise is Power Systems. Making cutting-edge technology accessible to our clients so they can confidently use it is one of our main goals. That’s why we made GaNDev, a revolutionary prototyping system to enable efficient, small and light power systems to be made in a matter of months using GaNFETs.
Founded in 2017, Asteria was started by two people with a passion for engineering and discovery. We wanted to help people achieve their dreams, whether that’s conducting scientific experiments in space or developing power systems. Now, we work with customers from all over the globe, creating exceptional products to help them achieve their goals. Asteria is proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated.
What Our Clients Think
“It’s been outstanding working with Asteria. David is a pleasure to work with and we can be assured of high quality results within the targeted timeframes.”
— Mark Rocket, CEO of Kea Aerospace
“It's been a real pleasure working with David thus far. David's expertise has been critical to the initiation and development of our project, and his commitment to understanding our goals and working under pressure to deliver professional results in a contracted timeline has allowed us to progress quickly towards achieving ambitious goals. I am very much looking forward to working together as the project evolves!”
— Dr Sarah Kessans, Senior Lecturer at University of Canterbury
“Asteria are truly experts in what they do. It’s nice to have that confidence when we’re building cutting-edge technology that has to work in space. And David is so good to work with, he’s always just a phone call away and happy to give us advice or chat through a problem.”
— Fia Jones, CEO and co-founder of Astrix Aeronautics
Without Asteria's work on our technology at Skybase, we would not have achieved the world firsts we became known for. The quality of the system build was even surprising to our investors, who were delighted that such an early stage company could produce something that was superior to our better-funded competitors, and was at the top-of-industry standards. David and his colleagues were a delight to work with, and they integrated seamlessly into our team. Working with Asteria was certainly a highlight in our journey- so this is definitely a 5-star review!
— Mike Read, Skybase
