Precision engineering, start to finish

From initial CAD geometry through environmental qualification — we cover every phase of the mechanical engineering lifecycle.

01

3D CAD Modeling

SolidWorks · Onshape

Precision mechanical modeling is the foundation of every successful hardware program. We work from early-stage sketches and requirements documents to deliver fully constrained, production-ready 3D models and assemblies. Whether you need a single custom component or a complete multi-level assembly, every model is built with downstream manufacturing and testing in mind.

Typical Deliverables
  • Part and assembly models (SolidWorks or Onshape)
  • Detailed engineering drawings with GD&T
  • Bill of materials (BOM)
  • Revision-controlled design files
02

Structural FEA

Static · Modal · Fatigue · Vibration

Build confidence in your design before committing to hardware. Finite element analysis lets us simulate real-world structural loads — vibration, shock, static forces, and fatigue cycles — identifying failure modes and margin of safety early in the design process. We scope simulations to match your qualification standards, from commercial IEC requirements to MIL-STD environmental profiles.

Typical Deliverables
  • FEA simulation reports with safety margins
  • Mesh convergence and methodology documentation
  • Design recommendations and iteration support
  • Qualification test correlation
03

Fluid & Thermal Simulation

CFD · Thermal Modeling · Airflow Optimization

Heat is the silent killer of high-density electronics. We use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal modeling to map airflow paths, identify hot spots, and validate cooling solutions before you commit to sheet metal. From server chassis thermal characterization to edge compute enclosure design, we engineer to your thermal budget.

Typical Deliverables
  • CFD flow visualization and analysis reports
  • Junction temperature predictions for key components
  • Airflow impedance and pressure drop analysis
  • Design optimization recommendations
04

DFA & DFM

Design for Assembly · Design for Manufacturability

The most elegant design is worthless if it can't be built efficiently. We review assemblies for manufacturing feasibility and assembly sequence — catching issues like blind fasteners, tolerance stack-ups, and tooling conflicts that drive up unit cost and build time. These reviews are most valuable early in the design process, but we can engage at any stage.

Typical Deliverables
  • DFA/DFM review report with annotated findings
  • Tolerance stack-up analysis
  • Recommended design changes ranked by impact
  • Engagement with your contract manufacturer if needed
05

Design Review

Risk Assessment · Technical Audit · Peer Review

A structured design review by an independent mechanical engineer surfaces problems that internal teams — close to the work and under schedule pressure — can miss. We review drawings, 3D models, and test data against your requirements, identifying structural risks, thermal concerns, tolerance issues, and compliance gaps with a fresh set of experienced eyes.

Typical Deliverables
  • Formal design review report
  • Prioritized risk register with mitigation recommendations
  • Requirements traceability review
  • Verbal debrief and Q&A session
06

Test Planning & Prototyping Support

Test Protocols · Environmental Qualification · Validation

We help you validate your design with confidence — developing test plans, defining pass/fail criteria, and supporting prototype builds from first article through environmental qualification. On-site or remote support is available depending on your location and test facility setup.

Typical Deliverables
  • Test plan documentation (vibration, thermal, shock, etc.)
  • Prototype build support and first-article inspection
  • Test execution support (on-site or remote)
  • Test report and design closure documentation
