Garage

Engineering skill develops through deployment, not abstraction.

AEG places complex engineering systems into real-world environments and publishes what is learned from their operation under real technical constraints.

Built on a simple premise

Real systems behave differently under constraint, and access to those systems should not be limited by geography, background, or institutional affiliation.

We exist to expand access to applied engineering experience — particularly in areas connected to space, advanced instrumentation, autonomy, and systems architecture.

Access

Removing geographic and institutional barriers to applied engineering experience.

Deployment

Building and operating real systems in real environments under real constraints.

Transparency

Publishing open technical reports on performance, limitations, and lessons learned.

Production-Grade. Field-Deployed. Publicly Reported.

AEG builds, adapts, and deploys production-grade tools, software, and system architectures into defined field and learning environments.

Hardware Limits

Evaluating physical system performance and failure modes under operational stress.

Software Reliability

Testing stability, edge-case handling, and long-run behavior of deployed software.

Autonomy Boundaries

Mapping the operational envelope and constraint limits of autonomous systems.

Systems Integration

Measuring complexity and reliability across multi-component integrated architectures.

Each deployment results in a publicly accessible report documenting performance, limitations, and lessons learned.

From Selection to Publication

Our focus is learning through deployment, measurement, and documentation.

01

Select

Identify a bounded engineering system suited for controlled real-world deployment.

02

Deploy

Place the system in a controlled real-world environment under defined operational parameters.

03

Measure

Evaluate performance and operational limits with precision instrumentation and analysis.

04

Publish

Release a transparent technical report for public access — performance, limits, and lessons.

Formation & Pilot Structuring Phase

AEG is currently in its formation and pilot structuring phase.

Initial deployments are being structured across compute systems, instrumentation, field platforms, and reliability architectures — with pilot execution to follow.

Public reports will be released following pilot completion.
