Founded in 2016 by Dr. Ben Kieniewicz, EECL specialises in advanced electronic and wireless solutions for Industry, Space, Defence and Commercial.
With extensive experience in the defence and space industry, Dr. Kieniewicz recognises that traditional aerospace companies often struggle to remain competitive and adapt to the rapidly evolving space markets. Today’s satellite manufacturers demand improved performance, faster design turnaround, and innovative technologies—all at reduced costs.
At EECL, we employ lean working practices and quick turnaround times, leveraging our deep experience in delivering successful space missions. This enables us to adopt a “get it right the first time” approach, producing fully compliant hardware lower than traditional costs, without compromising on product assurance and quality.
Our facilities include laboratories/cleanroom and offices. Our ESD lab features state-of-the-art test equipment, soldering stations, inspection equipment and assembly/rework equipment. We employ climate-controlled dry storage to give you piece of mind on long term part storage.
We have an extensive range of test equipment, including the latest Keysight VNA, spectrum analyzers, Wire bonder and signal sources capable of measuring RF parameters up to 100 GHz. While we focus heavily on space applications, we also serve a variety of other markets, believing that the cross-pollination of technology between commercial, defence, and space sectors offers significant advantages.
EECL was founded by Dr Ben Kieniewicz, who has worked in electronics from an early age. He graduated from the University of Leeds in 1997 with a degree in Electronic Engineering, and went on to complete both a Master’s degree and a PhD in wireless medical electronics.
During his doctoral research, he contributed to work that led to the formation of Instrumentel, a company which later became part of Unipart Rail. After completing his studies, Ben joined Detica (now part of BAE Systems), working in defence electronics. He later moved to Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, where he further developed his expertise in RF and microwave engineering, contributing to programmes including GNSS technology, Ka-band space receivers, and satellite hardware design.
Ben founded EECL in 2016 as a consultancy. The company’s first project involved development work on the Airbus OneWeb channeliser payload. Since then, EECL has expanded its activities and now provides a combination of consultancy, products, and engineering services.
Founded EECL and embarked on 2 years of design consultancy for Airbus OneWeb. As a direct result there are now 1200 payloads flying providing world wide data services.
EECL was selected to provide the hardware GNSS platform for the European Space Agency to fly on Lunar Pathfinder to the moon in 2026.
EECL completes project for Advanced Quantum Computing hardware, and deploys over 1000 systems, worth over £1 million.
EECL delivers our 20th space payload modules to customers including SSTL, D-Orbit, DLR, and ESA, for mission such as climate change and disaster prevention.
EECL wins contract to perform qualification testing on the new Eutelsat OneWeb payloads, and deliver the required ATE Equipment.
