Our Process
Ground-breaking engineering requires a comprehensive process to ensure effective, organized execution.
Our plans clearly define accepted technology readiness levels, along with milestone validation and gating criteria for each stage of the R&D process.
Through strict adherence to our systematic approach, we minimize and mitigate project risks, while maximizing the capacity for success at the least possible cost—a fundamental pillar of any effective engineering practice. How? We dedicate the time and resources for experimental work programs that validate underlying theoretical hypotheses, along with results that are established through theoretical design, analysis and modelling of our technologies.
We’re constantly working to translate our approach to engineering and scientific problem-solving into documented algorithms. These algorithms not only deliver the best R&D performance, but also help efficiently train new team members and empower us to share our knowledge with the scientific community at large.
Applied across our core areas
of electrical engineering competency
Our process is built on four key pillars:
Observation
We analyze the engineering challenge facing your organization, develop customized metrics to assess possibilities and then begin collecting and collating data to inform relevant approaches.
We leverage our expertise to explore the full gamut of possible solutions, while exploring a wide range of opportunities for innovation and componentry improvement.
Orientation
We embrace budgetary parameters and stage an in-depth review of business objectives to determine a critical path based on data-driven observations.
With a hypothesis in hand, we set a strategy for achieving desired performance outcomes based on key project timelines and expectations. Our aim is to ensure that any proposed solution delivers transformative results.
Decision
Working in close collaboration with your team, we develop a comprehensive tactical plan designed to deliver a reliable, scalable outcome. Key to any proposed solution—in particular when dealing with products such as electric motor technologies—are cost, size, weight and overall efficiency.
Our aim is to create componentry that enhances systems through smart engineering design.
Action
We develop, customize and deploy a package of New Orbit services—which might include product development, manufacturing and product testing, project management, field testing and consulting—to produce the kind of solution that helps drive positive bottom-line results across your business.
