Who we serve

Research labs and deep-tech teams

Muskat Engineering is the outsourced mechanical engineering partner for academic and scientific research groups and deep-tech companies across Israel. We design and build custom instruments for university and institutional research labs — including groups at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), the Technion, Bar-Ilan University, and Ben-Gurion University — as well as for clean-energy, biotech, and industrial clients.

If you are a principal investigator, lab manager, or R&D engineer in Israel who needs a custom scientific instrument, a one-off test rig, lab automation, or a mechanism designed and brought to a working prototype, this is exactly the work Muskat Engineering does.

Primary focus

Scientific & academic services

Custom laboratory instrument design
Bespoke instruments from a researcher's requirements through CAD, fabrication, and assembly, e.g. nucleic-acid sample-preparation systems, nephelometers, specialized measurement devices.
Laboratory automation & robotics
Motorized stages, robotic sample handling, automated centrifuge systems, liquid-handling automation, motion control for research workflows.
Scientific test & measurement rigs
Motor testers, adhesion testers, imaging/scanning stages, validation jigs from specification to delivered hardware.
Research instrument integration
Motors, sensors, encoders, and vision systems integrated with Python control software for standalone, offline lab setups.
Prototype development for research & grants
From concept to a functioning, documented prototype.
Also

General mechanical engineering

Mechanical design & CAD
SolidWorks and Fusion 360; enclosures, frames, lifting and towing hardware, mechanisms.
Product development
Concept through detailed design, design-for-manufacture, production-ready documentation.
Production & manufacturing support
BOM, serial-number tracking, assembly instructions, CAD data management (PDM/EPDM).
Robotics & mechatronics
Robotic arm integration, motion systems, automation hardware with firmware and control software.
Simulation & visualization
Physics-based simulation for mechanism validation and kinematics.
