Don't go it alone! Prototyping is expensive, firefighters have a low duty cycle, and researchers even more so. However, outsourcing poses the risk of losing touch. Keep it 'in the family'!

Shared research (we do the work, but you stay in touch): Based on a roadmap developed and maintained by the members of our consortium, our laboratory conducts research into the above and other topics. Deliverables include solutions to critical problems, materials and reliability data, test methods and protocols, software to help optimize design and assembly yields,

Proprietary Services (we join your team): Production scale assembly facility. Comprehensive analytical and test capabilities. Prototyping, part authentication, design validation, materials selection, process development, ongoing support, process audits, reliability testing, failure analysis and remediation, RoHS & WEEE compliance issues, conflict resolution,... More

75% of our staff has advanced degrees (M.S. or Ph.D.) in chemistry, physics, materials science, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, or ceramics. (Meet the team...)
