Core Values
Lasting Partnerships
Relationships are important and engineering is hard. We want our customers to stay with us because we are the experts, and they couldn’t imagine getting engineering services from anyone else.
Think Innovative
It is important for us not to do things one way because we have always done them that way. The world is ever changing, and technology is moving fast. We need to be on the bleeding edge.
Cost Conscious
Rapid iterations and quantifiable milestones help our customers stay in their budgets. We aim to hit our targets early. Our goal is to create value quickly and regularly. Thoughtful planning and honesty help us stay on track.
Always Honest
We will always be truthful. Prototyping and early-stage engineering is always difficult. There are many pitfalls when doing something new. We will always be the first to admit mistakes and come back with a plan.
