Design_Net Engineering, LLC has proven its ability to successfully deliver engineering prototypes on-time. Design_Net can provide quality engineering solutions in the engineering disciplines below:

Systems Engineering
Design_Net’s Product Development approach encompasses rapid development and prototyping methods, additional provider partnerships and a strong outsourced start-up team to develop your engineering prototypes and products.

Electronic/Electrical Engineering
Design_Net has the experience, processes and tools to perform all phases of analog, digital and power systems development for numerous applications. We can support you from requirements definition through design, prototyping, test, and delivery to production. As an example area, we have provided FPGA and ASIC designs using proven development methods.

Mechanical Engineering
Design_Net Engineering’s mechanical engineering team specializes in the design and development of complex mechanisms, electronics packaging, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), thermal analysis, vibro-acoustical analysis,
optics design and mechanical testing.

Software Engineering
Our software team can engineer real-time software for a variety of market applications. Our multi-disciplined team uses a phased real-time software development methodology for rapid implementation and has worked with a variety of software standards including ISO 9000 and IEEE.

Our application markets we support include, but are not limited to:

Telecommunications
• Electronics, Software and Optical

Medical Devices
• Software, Electronic and Mechanical intensive prototypes and products
• Other Life Sciences” markets (Biotech, Health Care, etc.)

Enterprise and/or “Killer App” Software Products
• Large niche-market products in Industries listed as well as others.

Additional Market Interests
• Security Technologies
• High-tech Consumer Products
• Energy related Products
• Semiconductor Materials and Devices
• Other Hardware and/or Technical Services Support

Within this market range we provide services to start-ups, as well as to established companies that need quality product development services from conceptualization, design, prototyping and testing. In addition, we can provide volume production. For start-ups, we can provide technical and management staffing to help during their critical, early phases of business growth.

Partnering with the Design_Net Engineering team is a cost-effective way for companies to develop their new products in a timely fashion. We can augment the size and scope of your internal technical resources or provide prototype and product development for you. Partnering with Design_Net Engineering is a proven new method to manage your product development needs. We can provide the technical team needed to accomplish your design or development projects when you need us. Required engineering and technical resources will be quickly deployed when you need them following the “just in time” model to minimize your product development expenses.

Design_Net Engineering uses a phased product development process. Programs are broken down into discrete phases, each rigorously defined, scheduled, budgeted and contracted. It is to be emphasized that Design_Net Engineering encourages full participation by clients in all aspects of this process, including total job price estimate development. We cooperatively develop the program, schedule and budget with you. We function in all respects as your in-house technical resource, partner and project manager.

PHASE 0 – PROJECT PLANNING, FEASIBILITY STUDIES

In this important Phase, we start out working together to plan the program. We jointly provide input to begin to understand the scope of the project and our potential working relationship. We establish the guidelines for the crucial elements of the program such as schedule, budget and the general technical approach. We identify critical issues and develop a plan by which to investigate them prior to investing significant time or capital.

PHASE 1 - SPECIFICATION AND ARCHITECTURE

Phase 1 represents an important extension of Phase 0, in which the planning process is expanded into considerable detail. Our process relies heavily on detailed documentation in the form of Requirements Documents, Architecture Documents, Test Plans, and other documents, as required, by the specific program. This not only forces the planning process, but also provides you, the customer, with detailed insight into the program and a means to track our progress and performance.

PHASE 2 – DESIGN

In Phase 2 the detailed designs are generated. These designs are in the form of complete engineering drawings, circuit layouts, software code, documentation, etc.

PHASE 3 - ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE FABRICATION

In Phase 3 the engineered designs are used to create the first engineering prototype units, breadboards, etc. These prototypes are extensively tested and provide the basis for proceeding to Phase 4. If you hire us for solely a prototype effort, this would be the end of our involvement.

PHASE 4 - PRODUCTION PROTOTYPES AND PRE-PRODUCTION

In phase 4 design refinements are made to correct problems detected in Phase 3, and to ensure that the product can be produced in volume, in a cost-effective manner. Likewise the tooling for production is designed and fabricated.

PHASE 5 - PILOT PRODUCTION

Production-quality units are produced in low volume to validate the tooling and manufacturing methods. Often, these units are implemented in a Beta field test program prior to full production and volume sales.

PHASE 6 – PRODUCTION
