Engineering Depth To Solve Complex Technical Problems

A design decision gets evaluated against the fabrication process, the assembly sequence, the test procedure, and the service access before it is released, because the people responsible for all four are in the room.

PLANNED ENGINEERING HIRES

Design engineering

Customer-specific systems, retrofits and processes, developed with your team from concept through release.

Rapid prototyping

Proofs of concept, first articles and short-run pilots to pressure-test designs before production.

Design for manufacturing

Early manufacturability reviews to improve production flow, scalability and cost.

Testing & validation

Functional testing, performance validation and environmental stress screening (ESS) before shipment.

Design for assembly

Conduct in-process inspection, final QA and shipping sign-off to verify release readiness.

Nonconformance containment

Stop nonconforming product before it reaches the next process step.

Engage Our Engineers At Any Stage

Support from early concepts and prototypes through validation, production and serial manufacturing

How We Deliver

Design for Manufacturability

Faster to produce, easier to scale, cleaner to assemble.

Unoptimized drawings inject cost and drag into every unit that follows. We audit components, optimize fabrication and standardize parts before production starts, working the schematic against how the line actually runs.

Design for Assembly

Assembly aware design that compresses build time.

Fastener and component standardization, wire routing optimization, reduction of manual touchpoints, and value stream mapping of the production sequence. Fewer operations, fewer opportunities for error.

Design for Serviceability

Engineering decisions that simplify maintenance for the life of the equipment.

Design reviews focused on accessibility, service access, component replacement, documentation, labeling and lifecycle traceability. The choices made here are what our Aftermarket and Field Service teams live with for the next twenty years, which is a useful constraint to have in the room during design.

The FSP Difference

Lead times as little as 15 weeks
On stocked configurations, with your real date quoted at order
$5 billion in installed capacity
across our 500,000
square foot campus
Made in America
BABA compliant and built in Baltimore
98.6% on time delivery
everything downstream gets scheduled
against that date
99.7% first-pass yield
work that is right the first time does not re-enter the queue
100% functional and quality testing
every unit tested before it ships
Under one roof
engineering, build and test with
nothing subcontracted
ESD and humidity controlled floor
a controlled environment for sensitive assemblies

Bring your concept, your design, or your production problem.

We can own the design outright or support the team you already have.
