Engineering consultants can be resourceful in many ways, depending on the type of project and demand. They can help improve performance, create new designs, improve processes and procedures, check for causes of failure, advise on monitoring and maintenance, advise on materials limitations and benefits, provide equipment advice, help implement health and safety improvements and more to optimize a project. They can save costs and time by using their experience and knowledge to avoid mistakes and delays.
We offer a broad spectrum of Engineering & IT Consultants within services such as:
Supplier Development | Wiring Harnessing | Fullstack Development |
Mechanical Design | Project Management | Software |

How did you first get in contact with A Society?: I was looking for new job opportunities through LinkedIn and found an open position with A Society that matched my profile and less than a day after I applied to the position, I received a phone call from Anna Alex to have an interview with her about this open position they had in Foster City.
What was the employment process like? Take us step-by-step. First I applied in LinkedIn which was really easy (easy apply), next I received communication from Anna Alex to have an interview for the open position I have applied for, next Anna scheduled a meeting with Filip Rosander to discuss more about my experience and profile. Next step was to have an interview with the company involved for the contract position, which is ZOOX. In less than a day after I had the interview with the ZOOX team Anna had an answer for me that I was selected for the job, after that the process was really easy. I received my offer letter and all the instructions and paperwork to fill/follow to be able to get onboard with A Society.
In what ways did A Society help you get onboarded by ZOOX? All the information and help provided was clear and quick, Anna did an amazing job with the interviews, then Barbara and Philip did an amazing job with the onboarding process, I needed to get my VISA and move from my current area to Foster City and A society helped me with all this process.
How long were you employed with A Society before Zoox offered you full-time employment? I was employed for 1 year at A Society (Jan 2022 to Jan 2023) ZOOX made their intentions clear about offering me an FTE since I was only 6 months in the company.
In what ways did A Society help make that happen? A Society gave me the opportunity I was looking for "a fresh start", I received the confidence and support from all the team to represent them all with a great company like ZOOX, sometimes what we need is just the opportunity to prove you can achieve and deliver great things and A Society did that for me.
The software development cycle typically involves stages like planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Each phase contributes to the creation and evolution of a software product.
A Society has developed an Software Development Cycle for optimization and cost savings, that we offer in three phases, either sequential or independently:
1. Prestudy (map and evaluate current situation)
2. Proposal (Samples areas, but not limited to the following.
Tool Selection:
Identify and recommend appropriate automation tools and technologies to streamline various aspects of the software development cycle.
Automated Testing:
Implement automated testing methodologies to detect and resolve issues earlier in the development process, reducing bug-fixing costs.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
Set up a robust CI/CD pipeline to enable faster, reliable, and automated code deployments, reducing the time-to-market for new features and updates.
Containerization:
Explore containerization to enable faster application deployment and enhance scaling, reducing infrastructure costs.
Monitoring and Reporting:
Integrate real-time monitoring and reporting tools to proactively identify performance issues and optimize resource utilization.
Business Agility:
Agile software development processes will allow the organization to adapt quickly to market demands and changing requirements.
3. Implementation Plan
We will present an implementation plan with timelines, milestones, and resource requirements for the automation project.
The implementation plan will also consider potential risks and mitigation strategies to ensure a smooth transition.
Outcome and Benefits
Efficiency:
Streamlined processes and automation will accelerate software development and deployment, leading to faster time-to-market and increased productivity.
Quality:
Automated testing and continuous integration will ensure higher software quality, resulting in reduced post-release bug-fixing costs.
Productivity:
Containerization and automated resource management will optimize infrastructure usage, lowering operational expenses.
Profitability:
Automation will lead to reduced manual effort, minimizing human errors, and lowering development and maintenance costs resulting in overall cost savings.
Evaluation:
After the implementation phase completed, and the improvements are up and running, we will evaluate the cost savings achieved.
