Engineering services
The catalog covers problems common enough to package. Everything else is a project. These are the three kinds of work we take on.
ATE station integration
Getting a test station from a pile of instruments to a repeatable process: instrument drivers, signal routing, the configuration that ties measurement names to physical channels, and the integration with your sequencer.
We work with what you already have. A station that runs today on specific instruments and existing sequences does not need to be replaced to be improved - most of the value is in the layer between the sequence and the hardware, which is where a change usually costs the most and gets avoided the longest.
- Instrument abstraction so sequences stop naming specific hardware
- Signal and routing configuration through switches, multiplexers and matrices
- Station configuration and product variant data kept out of the test logic
- Integration with NI TestStand and other sequencers
Custom software
Desktop applications and tools built for one problem that no product on the market fits. Typically this looks like: data that exists but is unusable, a manual process everyone accepts because automating it was never anyone's job, or a report that takes a day to assemble every month.
We build these the same way we build our own products - offline where it makes sense, in standard formats, and documented well enough that someone else can maintain them.
- Test data analysis and reporting tools
- Configuration and parameter management interfaces
- File format parsers and converters for equipment that speaks its own dialect
- Windows desktop applications for engineering and quality teams
AI agents for process automation
Not a chatbot on your website. Agents that do the repetitive engineering work that surrounds testing and manufacturing: gathering data from the places it lives, checking it against rules, producing the document somebody would otherwise assemble by hand, and flagging the cases that need a human decision.
The honest framing for this work: automation is worth it when a task is frequent, rule-based and currently done by someone whose time is worth more. We will tell you when a task does not meet that bar - a script or a fixed integration is often the better answer, and it is cheaper to maintain.
- Automating recurring reporting and documentation
- Data collection and consolidation across systems that do not talk to each other
- Rule-based review of engineering data, escalating exceptions to a person
- Internal tooling that a small team can actually operate
How a project starts
- Describe the problem - not the solution you have in mind. What breaks, how often, and what it costs when it does.
- We tell you whether we are the right fit. Sometimes the answer is a product from the catalog, and sometimes it is that you do not need us.
- Scope and estimate for the work, in writing, before anything starts.
- Build, with something usable early rather than a long silence followed by a delivery.
What we do not do
- We do not sell staff augmentation by the hour.
- We do not take on work where we cannot see the actual data or the actual station - guessing at either produces tools that fail on contact with reality.
- We do not claim certifications or regulatory qualifications we do not hold. If your process requires a qualified supplier, tell us early so we can be straight with you about it.
