Designs that survive manufacturing, and the field.
We take hardware from first principles to a manufacturable, durable part — the design, the tolerances, the durability, done right the first time. For companies whose physical products can't afford to fail on the line or in the field.

Real engineering problems, documented from challenge to solution.
Our Services
Engineering services for hardware that needs to work every time, last for years, and cost less to build.
Design for Manufacture & Readiness
De-risk the jump from a design that works to a design you can actually make.
Durability & Reliability
Make hardware survive its full service life, high-cycle use, harsh environments, and real-world abuse.
Mechanical Design & First-Principles Analysis
Mechanisms and components designed from the physics up — and proven before they're built.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are often asked...
Mechanical design, design-for-manufacture, and durability engineering for physical products — hardware startups, product teams, exhibit and equipment manufacturers, and the people backing them. We take a selective number of engagements at a time, so each has a principal's direct attention.
ASME Y14.5 for GD&T, AS9102 for first-article inspection, ISO 9001 for quality management, and MIL-STD-810G for environmental and durability testing. Where a client or sector requires a specific standard, we work to it.
As early as the design decisions that are expensive to reverse. A change costs roughly 10× less at the CAD stage than after tooling is cut. That said, we're regularly brought in mid-program — a design misbehaving, a field failure, a production problem — and we're built for that too.
The principal owns every engagement and the judgment behind it. Where a project needs depth beyond mechanical design, we bring in trusted collaborators and direct their contribution to the same standard — but mechanical design is the core, and it's what we're accountable for.
Fixed-rate for scoped engagements, or a retainer for ongoing design support. We define scope and deliverables in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises.
