We build things that have
never been made before

When creating novel products, every project is a unique journey but the framework for success remains largely the same. Our product development process has been carefully honed over the last decade.
1.
Discover

Through research, design thinking and proof-of-concept prototyping the Discovery phase lays a foundation for the rest of development. The result is a clear definition of the project goals, requirements and success criteria.

2.
Develop

The Develop phase typically involves work across all technical areas of the project to design, build and test the core feature sets. The majority of the unknowns are becoming known and the risks have been defined through functional prototyping.

3.
Integrate

The disparate elements come together during the Integrate phase into a cohesive engineering prototype. Through extensive testing and refinement, major risks are mitigated and any remaining unknowns are identified.

4.
Refine

The Refine phase is focused on fine tuning the details and addressing any feedback from the Integrate phase. Optimization for experience, reliability and production cost vary by project as we begin to engage with manufacturers.

5.
Realize

The Realize phase is where the rubber hits the road and our team is working hand-in-hand with manufacturers as well as supporting certification testing, production verification and pilot unit field deployments.
