Sarva Technologies Limited — design, engineering, innovation

Engineering services from United Kingdom

Mechanical design and tooling, drawn for the shop floor.

CAD, simulation, design for manufacturability and the jigs, fixtures and tooling that put the part into production. We work with aerospace and defence, automotive and industrial manufacturers, and carry the design through to automated assembly where the line needs it.

Stage 01

Concept and CAD

Design intent, topology optimisation, GD&T and tolerance stack-up.

Stage 02

Simulation and DFM

Structural and thermal FEA, then a design the process can actually hold.

Stage 03

Tooling and fixtures

Jigs, fixtures, positioners and inspection aids built around the part.

Stage 04

Assembly and automation

Design for automated assembly, cell layout and end-of-arm tooling where needed.

What we do

Design problems are usually found late, on the factory floor.

Manufacturing teams in aerospace, automotive and industrial run into the same three walls: internal engineering capacity is full, compliance leaves no room to improvise, and a physical redesign late in the cycle costs more than the programme can absorb.

We take on the specialist design engineering that sits behind those walls — mechanical design, DFM, tooling and jigs, FEA stress analysis, additive manufacturing and materials selection. Our engineers design with shop-floor realities in mind: stamping limits, casting shrinkage, weld access and machining tolerances. That stops designs that look right on screen and fail in production.

The tooling is designed by the same people who designed the part, so the handover between design and manufacturing stops being a handover. Fixturing, assembly sequence and — where the line is automated — grip and access for robots are considered while the geometry is still open to change, which is where launch time, assembly bottlenecks and unit cost are genuinely won.

Sectors

Where the industry stalls, and what we pick up.

Aerospace and defence

Where it stalls

  • Weight has to come out without losing structural integrity under high fatigue
  • Traceability and tight tolerances leave no margin
  • Casting and forging supply chains are choking under demand
  • Legacy parts lack tolerance stack analysis suited to fast-rate automated production

How we help

  • Maintenance, repair and overhaul support
  • Concession and repair solutions for in-service aircraft
  • Topology optimisation, FEA, GD&T and tolerance stack checks
  • Prototyping and additive manufacturing for legacy parts
  • Reverse engineering and assembly automation for composites and metallics

Automotive and industrial

Where it stalls

  • Legacy designs that cobots and industrial arms cannot grasp, align or weld unaided
  • Cycle times and unit cost under constant pressure
  • Transition of existing lines to EV and hybrid production

How we help

  • Design for automated assembly, and product redesign for automation
  • DFM for additive, die casting and forging
  • Robotic cell layout and end-of-arm tooling design
  • Cycle time optimisation
  • Custom inspection jigs, welding positioners and material handling

Smart manufacturing

Designed so the plant can see what it is doing.

Tooling and fixtures are where measurement, traceability and cycle time are either designed in or lost. We work at the join between the hardware we design and the manufacturing execution systems that schedule, record and report on production.

That means fixtures designed with gauging and data capture in mind, part and batch traceability built into the process rather than added afterwards, and cycle time and quality data landing in a form your production and quality teams already use.

If a manufacturing execution system already governs the line, we can work to its constraints from the first fixture concept rather than discovering them at commissioning.

DesignBuilt to be measuredDatum strategy, fixturing and sensor access agreed while the geometry is still open.
ToolingFixtures that reportJigs, gauges and inspection stations that produce usable signals, not paperwork.

Careers

Internships and placements for UK students.

We work with universities across the UK to bring students into live engineering work — not filing, not shadowing. Interns join a project with a named engineer, an agreed scope and a piece of work that goes to a client.

We host summer internships, twelve-month industrial placements and final-year project collaborations. Applications from students on undergraduate and master's programmes are welcome, as are enquiries from university placement offices and careers teams.

Step 1

Send your CV

Email your CV with a short note on what you want to work on. Use the subject line “Internship — your university — your course”.

Step 2

Talk it through

A short conversation with an engineer about your coursework, your CAD or simulation experience, and where you would fit.

Step 3

Start on a project

You are given a scoped piece of a live project, a supervisor, and a review at the end you can take back to your course.
