Comprehensive design support for high-performance and long-life products.

Specialty Electronic Design Services

Built for Defense and Commercial Technology Programs

We bring the same engineering rigor that defense primes rely on to commercial product development — with a sharp focus on schedule, NRE cost, BOM optimization, and production readiness.

Speed to Market

Rapid prototype-to-production cycles with experienced engineers who have shipped real products — not just paper designs. We flag risk early so your schedule holds.

DFM & Cost Optimization

Design for manufacturability baked in from day one. We work to hit your BOM targets and production yield goals — not just functional spec.

Defense & Commercial Standards

MIL-STD, IPC Class 2/3, DFARS, FCC Part 15, CE marking, IEC 60601, UL, RoHS/REACH — we design to the certifications and compliance requirements your program demands, whether defense or commercial.

Scalable Engagement

From a single embedded engineer to a full project team. Staff augmentation, fixed-scope, or milestone-based — we flex to your program structure.

Long-Lifecycle Reliability

Design decisions that account for 10–20 year sustainment, obsolescence planning, and qualification testing — built in from day one, not retrofitted at EOL.

Secure Development Environment

ITAR-registered, CMMC-certified facility with security controls appropriate for sensitive defense programs. Your IP and program data stay protected throughout the engagement.

How We Execute

  1. Discovery: align on program goals, constraints, interfaces, and compliance needs.
  2. Architecture: propose options, de-risk critical paths, and define plan of record.
  3. Implementation: hardware/firmware/FPGA development with transparent reporting.
  4. Validation: prototype, verification, integration support, and handoff for production readiness.
