What
Is the Product?
Once the concepts are reviewed and a design is selected, the team
knows what the product is. Engineers across disciplines execute the
detailed product design and development, build engineering prototypes
and verify the product.

Industrial designers refine the form and appearance, create hard
models and develop the final 3D rendering.
|
|
|
|
|
Mechanical designers perform detailed part and assembly design,
perform analysis of the design, and develop prototypes for test
and verification. Tooling designers develop the tooling required
for the design validation and volume production.
|
|
|
|
|
Electrical engineers finalize the schematic and bill of
materials, design any required ASICs and FPGAs, perform modeling
and simulation of the circuitry, check signal integrity, create
PCB layout, perform DFX analysis, and build prototypes units.
Verification of the design is performed through electrical,
mechanical and software performance testing.

|
Software
developers perform all of the required software coding from
firmware support, driver development, embedded development, and
application software. Processes are based on ISO
standardization. Design verification testing ensures that the
software meets specified requirements. The ability to trace
requirements to designs and test cases ensures there are no
major surprises during software verification testing.

Topscom
engineers specify, design and build the fixtures and test systems
required for assembly and testing of the product during product launch
and high volume manufacturing.
The
program managers and the global operations teams develop the supply
chain and the global logistics solution for the product.
