Frequently asked questions about our space capabilities

We optimize hardware design for manufacturability and sustainability through Design for Excellence (DFX), streamlining the design phase to reduce risk. Our experts embed complexity effectively, ensuring robust and durable products without compromising quality. We conduct thorough reviews with Supply Chain, Test and Manufacturing teams at various stages, ensuring a seamless transition from New Product Introduction (NPI) to successful volume manufacturing that meets industry demands.

We provide industry-specific supply chain solutions with proactive risk management, predictive analytics and customized fulfillment. Our capabilities include full lot traceability of material and expertise in supporting Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) and Technology Readiness Level (TRL) activities. For advanced electronics, our Microelectronics Center of Excellence offers DMEA Accreditation of Trust, space-level assembly/test (MIL-PRF-38534 / Mil-Std-883 compliant) and extensive environmental testing (thermal, vibration, ESS, HALT, HASS).

In the demanding space industry, we prioritize risk-based approaches from the earliest stages of product definition. Utilizing tools like FMEA and FMECA, we assess system architecture and mission profiles to identify potential failure modes and ensure compliance with qualification requirements. Our unwavering commitment to zero defects and perfect delivery, combined with years of experience in mission-critical programs, ensures the exceptional quality and reliability essential for space technology.
