Software services major HCL Technologies today said it has entered into a multi-year, multi-million dollar pact with technology firm Cobham to deliver cost-efficient engineering and R&D services.

As part of the engagement, HCL will deliver a range of cost-efficient engineering and R&D services including end-to-end product engineering, design-to-prototype and value engineering to Cobham, which serves the aerospace and defence industry, the company said in a statement.

HCL will support multiple Cobham sites across the globe with a broad range of services, hardware, software, embedded, mechanical, testing and full turn-key projects, it added.

"With over a decade of industry experience, comprehensive service capabilities and mature delivery models, HCL is well placed to help Cobham to become more competitive with greater focus on new technologies and innovation," HCL Technologies EVP and Global Head (Sales and Practice, Engineering and R&D Services) Sandeep Kishore said.

"HCL will be a key partner in helping to invest in strategic programmes which allow us to stay ahead of the competition," Cobham's Avionics and Surveillance Division VP Operations Tom Garvey said.
