New Product Development 

Aaron has been designing producible electronic products since 1970 

We are very good at listening to a customer describe a product and then turning that idea into a working prototype.  Our design team’s goal is to interweave cleaver design solutions with manufacturing savvy to create an inexpensively producible, cost effective, design. 

The process of designing a new product from the ground up has many steps.  We are familiar with them all.  Not every product fits cleanly into any given set of stages but when designing from the ground up the general outline is as follows: 

            New Electronic Product Development
                        Create a product concept definition document
                        Create one or more design specification documents
                        Create an overall system conceptual design
                        Develop a general software design
                        Develop a general hardware design
                        Develop the enclosure design
                        Detail the hardware design
                        Create a PCB design
                        Code the software design
                        Build a prototype
                        Integrate the software with the hardware, test and debug
                        Pre-production or hard model run to work out details of full scale
                        production
                        Obtain agency approvals:
                                    FCC part 15 a or b (CFR47 PART 15) - EMI
                                    FCC part 68  (CFR47 PART 68) – Telephone equipment
                                    UL - Fire and Safety
                                    CSA - Fire and Safety for Canada
                                    CE (Europe
)
                                    DOC (Telephone for Canada and Mexico)
                        Full production 

From the beginning of every design Aaron likes to consider DFM (Design For Manufacturing) and DFT (Design For Test) issues.  It is less costly to design for the anticipated production volumes from the beginning rather than as an afterthought. 

Most of the products we have designed have embedded microprocessors in them.  Since some processors cost less than a dollar each now the power of intelligent processors can used to benefit almost every design. 

It would be cost prohibitive to have engineers from every specialization on our staff so our staff engineers work with a wide array of consultants in almost every discipline of electronics or related fields.  We have developed this network over decades of experience in electronics design and development in the Northwest.  Our engineering network includes specialists in: 

                        Mechanical design

                        High level software design

                        Embedded software design

                        RF design

                        Analog design

                        Digital design
                        and many other disciplines.

Here some examples of past projects: 

                        Subsea precision instrumentation

                        Cell phone fraud protection equipment

                        Talking stopwatch for the auto racing industry

                        Tire temperature pyrometer

                        Electronics to control high security gates

                        Automated blending controller for machines that injection mold
                        plastics

                        Vehicle scales RF coupled to one or more displays

                        High frequency ultrasonic medical imaging controller

                        Intelligent electronic motor control to prevent mechanical damage

                        Tongue strength and endurance measurement

                        Long haul differential video amplifier design 

Unlike the attitude of some design and manufacturing companies it is not mandatory that Aaron build the products we design.  Some of our customers take our designs and build them in their own production facility.  However, by having our production department build for you we can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to have working prototypes or production units because of the close coupling between our engineering and production staff.  Our deep experience in manufacturing means that we can do a better job of DFM than some engineering companies that have no direct manufacturing experience.  Further, to expedite your project Aaron’s production department can start ordering long lead parts before the design is complete.  And with our engineers constantly available to consult with our production department Aaron can, when working as a synergistic design and manufacturing company for your product, resolve production problems almost immediately to keep production moving. 

Our customers find us to be very quality and cost conscious and easy to work with.  But why take our word for it; please look as what our customers have to say.

We look forward to working with you.

Aaron can provide full PCB layout help to our customers.
