Supporting large science projects with technical engineering and software expertise

WHO WE ARE: We are a small team of engineers, technologists and academics with proven system engineering, project management and agile coaching experience spanning decades. Vivo Technical is a multidisciplinary team of highly qualified technical people who work with scientists, engineers and governments to bring results. Our expertise is at a programme level to orchestrate highly educated specialists with appropriate management tools and techniques.

WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON: The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world’s largest radio telescope, with eventually over a square kilometre (one million square metres) of collecting area. The scale of the SKA represents a huge leap forward in both engineering and research & development towards building and delivering a unique instrument, with the construction phase just beginning. As one of the largest scientific endeavours in history, the SKA is bringing together a wealth of the world’s finest scientists, engineers and policy makers to bring the project to fruition.
