Engineering Services
Ty, Shift Sight's principal engineer, can address your engineering needs in a unified, vertical manner. The result is improved design efficiency and quality. Whether you need a turnkey solution, a modification to existing time-critical, deterministic code, or a new PCB, Shift Sight is your design partner for durability and quality.
Shift Sight's process for a turnkey implementation is as follows:
As your trusted partner in intellectual property development, all files are meticulously kept in a local version control system. The files are encrypted and kept behind a firewall for security.
- It all starts with an engineering feasibility analysis. Ty will spend time with you to understand if your project goals are achievable and present possible tradeoffs otherwise.
- Next, the conversation moves to systems engineering and requirements development. Your project will be distilled into piecewise, traceable, and achievable requirements.
- Design and analysis identifies applicable standards and allows us to formulate the best approach for implementation.
- With our expertise in electrical engineering, the requirements are translated into a viable design.
- Circuit validation is a layer of quality control that ensures that what is built matches what is designed.
- Once confidence has been established, Shift Sight's experience with PCB engineering translates the design into a physical, optimized board compliant with IPC-2221B / IPC-7351.
- Simulated manufacturing allows for careful inspection of the PCB prior to fabricating the circuit board.
- Our mechanical design expertise allows Shift Sight to design an enclosure from scratch or simply ensure that your PCB will meet the mechanical requirements for your design.
- Once mechanical requirements are established, our simulated electronic assembly process yields best practices for electronic assembly to reduce mistakes. Component geometry is established and verified.
- Of course, the end user will not be satisfied with just a mechanically correct design. Shift Sight's model and product development process considers usability cases, aesthetics, and user experience.
- Almost every electronic product on the market has some form of software on it. Firmware engineering is one of our specialties, and Shift Sight can deliver everything from components to architectures, while validating the physical devices that interact with the software. (Shift Sight's expertise with electrical and firmware engineering allows us to minimize the prototype and qualification phases.)
- Automated testing and continuous integration not only ensures that your product's firmware remains fully functional during development of new features, but it also allows for a continual performance assessment on the target hardware. Formal methods are used for quality control.
- Due to the difficulty of replicating corner conditions on real hardware, Shift Sight specializes in creating simulation environments and plant models. HIL and SIL are employed depending on your specific needs.
- Products are rarely standalone during development; Shift Sight can provide software tools for engineering and production purposes. For example, Shift Sight can provide PC software that captures telemetry from the UUT or provide software that stores serial numbers and calibration data capture at the end of the production line.
- Software tools can also be created to develop or download product content. With a background in curriculum development, Shift Sight excels at creating products that meet individual learning needs.
- Product documentation and user manuals are not overlooked at Shift Sight. These critical pieces can make or break an unboxing experience, and we can provide easily understood operating instructions.
As your trusted partner in intellectual property development, all files are meticulously kept in a local version control system. The files are encrypted and kept behind a firewall for security.
Ty understands the need to balance durability, performance, features, and cost. Shift Sight prides itself on creating designs that last and are easily repairable.
