ReliqAI supports space, aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical programs where system-level clarity and verification discipline matter.
Based in Ottawa, ReliqAI works with North American and European teams on system architecture, systems engineering, embedded engineering, and traceability-driven QA.
Our services span systems engineering and architecture through product development, verification and validation, and test automation.
ReliqAI brings over 30 years of experience delivering embedded products and systems for mission-critical programs.
We specialize in systems engineering, system architecture, embedded engineering, and traceability-driven QA, supporting space, aerospace, and defense programs.
Our hybrid delivery model combines onshore technical leadership with vetted offshore delivery partners, giving teams access to deep talent while balancing speed, flexibility, and cost.
Trusted expertise. Scalable delivery. Purpose-built systems.
ReliqAI provides systems engineering, system architecture, embedded engineering, and traceability-driven QA for mission-critical programs.
We work with industry partners to reduce integration risk, improve product reliability, and extend engineering capacity—engaging where system complexity and verification rigor matter most.
Backed by experienced onshore leadership and proven offshore delivery teams, our delivery model balances technical depth, speed, flexibility, and cost effectiveness.

From small engagements to complex systems
Onshore leadership with offshore delivery for strong value
“I wouldn’t hesitate to hire S5* Systems in other Telular project — time and time again S5 team showed that they didn’t just care about their bottom line, but Telular’s continued success. I recommend S5 Systems’ to any company that needs to reduce time-to-market of their products.”
Software Engineering
“S5 brings together significant expertise on embedded platforms over a range of domains – Linux, RISC processors and Java VMs. They helped us expand our product offerings on to new platforms while helping improve performance of the virtual machine. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for embedded systems expertise”

“Second project was when I contacted S5* to do PV work. .. The result was a very thorough job impressively documented at a very reasonable price. Furthermore the work was done on schedule, to the day, despite the fact that the job was nearly complete by the time the Mitel process got the contract straightened out demonstrating that S5 is willing to accept reasonable risk without finger pointing to meet commitments”

When multiple disciplines interact, interfaces matter, lifecycle is long, or integration and verification risk cannot be managed informally
No. Strong MBSE requires both systems engineering skill and domain expertise; tools alone are not sufficient
Yes. MBSE can be applied in parallel to stabilize architecture, interfaces, and verification even after implementation has started.
It reduces ambiguity in architecture, interfaces, and requirements, and exposes integration and verification risks early.
Because system-level assumptions, interfaces, and verification paths are not made explicit or owned early.
Because verification intent is not aligned with architecture and requirements early, leaving gaps undiscovered.
Every requirement is explicitly linked to architecture elements and a defined verification method and evidence.
It provides objective evidence that all requirements are addressed, verified, and consistently managed.
Limited test opportunities, harsh environments, long lifecycles, and little tolerance for late change.
Systems engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) are often discussed as best
