Research and Development

Our R&D process starts with understanding your system architecture, environmental constraints, and regulatory requirements. We invest in advanced simulation tools, EMI testing equipment, and thermal analysis capabilities to validate designs before prototyping. This reduces qualification risk and shortens time to FRP. Whether you need MIL-STD-461 compliance for airborne systems, IEC 60601-1 certification for medical devices, or radiation-hardened designs for space applications, our team has qualified power systems across every major regulatory framework.

We adapt proven designs to your exact mechanical envelope, input range, output voltage sequencing, and protection requirements. We modify existing platforms or develop entirely new topologies depending on program scope. Every custom development includes clear NRE pricing, defined deliverables, and a qualification pathway aligned with your compliance needs.

We maintain design files, test data, and BOM documentation for every custom development to enable rapid response when modifications are needed. Our change control process includes formal PCN notification and engineering support for qualification updates. If a critical component goes end-of-life, we re-qualify with drop-in replacements rather than forcing a new procurement cycle. This continuity reduces risk for long-lifecycle programs where production stability matters more than initial cost.

All custom developments undergo validation rigor: environmental stress testing, EMI compliance verification, safety margin analysis, and production readiness review. We document qualification data in formats that support customer DHF requirements, regulatory submissions, and audit trails. For military programs, we provide full test reports aligned with MIL-STD qualification expectations. For medical applications, we maintain ISO 13485 traceability and support IEC 60601-1 safety file documentation. Quality is embedded at design review, not added at final test.

We work directly with OEM engineering teams during architecture definition to identify power system constraints early. Early engagement reduces iteration cycles and prevents late-stage design changes. We also maintain relationships with component suppliers, test labs, and standards bodies to stay current on regulatory updates and technology shifts. When your program requires third-party certification or independent qualification testing, we coordinate lab scheduling, test planning, and data submission. Collaboration extends beyond hardware delivery to include technical support during system integration and field deployment.

Development is structured around program timelines and RFQ clarity. We provide realistic schedules based on design complexity, component lead times, and qualification scope. Feasibility assessments identify technical risks before NRE commitment. Prototype builds validate performance in actual operating conditions. Pre-production runs confirm manufacturing repeatability. Procurement teams get visibility into progress. Engineering teams integrate power system development into broader program schedules without surprises.

We tailor qualification plans to your program requirements and deliver test data in formats regulatory reviewers accept. Military programs get full MIL-STD-810 environmental testing, EMI compliance to MIL-STD-461, and altitude derating analysis. Medical programs get leakage current verification, MOPP/MOOP classification, and safety agency listings. Industrial OEMs get dynamic load response validation, continuous operation testing, and production scalability confirmation. Our test reports include margin analysis, failure mode documentation, and compliance declarations that reduce your audit exposure.

We use SPICE-level circuit simulation to predict transient response, stability margins, and worst-case operating conditions before building hardware. Thermal modeling identifies hotspot risks and validates cooling strategies. EMI pre-compliance simulation catches design issues that would otherwise surface during formal testing. These tools reduce prototype iteration and lower qualification costs. For complex programs, we provide simulation data to OEM teams for system-level integration analysis. Your engineering team gets confidence that the power system will perform as specified before it arrives on your bench.
