Core team

Meet the team building ZIMA.

Subvision brings together mechanical design, electronics, software, and venture development around one job: building a practical system for prevention-first hull maintenance.

How the team works

Hardware and software move forward together.

Subvision gets stronger when every discipline pushes the same system forward. Each build cycle turns CAD into prototypes, prototypes into test data, and test data into the next design decision.

Build visibly

Physical progress makes the technical work easier to understand and evaluate.

Test early

Field tests and demos expose issues early and sharpen the next iteration.

Communicate clearly

The team explains the product in a way that makes the engineering legible outside the lab.
