Packaging, assembly, and interconnect design

Design for the assembled product.

Enclosures, mounting, connectors, and cable paths make electronics usable in a physical product. We develop mechanical and interconnect designs for fit, assembly, and service.

Mechanical design areas

Resolve the physical interfaces.

Design areaDesign focusEngineering objective

Parts + assemblies

Enclosure, mounting, access, and part/assembly geometry around electronics.

Define fit, clearances, fastening, and service access; coordinate with fabrication shops and support assembly.

Electromechanical fit

Board and enclosure interfaces, connector access, cable exits, and packaging constraints.

Coordinate board mounting, connector access, cable routing, and heat flow so subsystems assemble and operate within the product enclosure.

Cables + harnesses

Connector selection, pinouts, routing, shielding, grounding, and strain relief. System-to-system cabling and harnesses, including MIL-STD cable assemblies.

Design cable connections within the product and to external systems around electrical and installation requirements.

Design for supplier build

Sheet metal, CNC, and 3D-printed part considerations; tolerances, drawings, and fabrication support.

Provide fabrication suppliers and assembly teams clear drawings, tolerances, and design guidance to support the build.

Across the interfaces

Physical details shape system integration.

Board placement affects cable length and service access. Connector selection affects electrical performance and packaging. Mechanical design belongs alongside electronics and firmware requirements.

From open question to plan

Start with the product need. We’ll shape the work together.

01 / Bring

Start with what you know

Tell us what needs to fit together and where the physical design is uncertain. Share any installation, CAD, board, connector, cable, or service details you have—we can help identify what’s missing.

02 / Define

Shape the problem space

Together, we clarify how components fit and connect, how they assemble, and how the design supports access and service.

03 / Plan

Lay out the approach

We present the recommended scope, cost estimate, schedule, and expected delivery.

Start with the technical need

Bring the physical integration question.

Share what must fit together and what is still unresolved. We can help define the mechanical or interconnect scope, including enclosure and bracket design.

No completed specification is needed for an initial conversation. Tell us what is known and where the uncertainty sits.
