The Sparx Development Model
Sparx employs a unique method of spiral development that we call Intelligent Fast Failure. Our goal is to have working prototypes as quickly as possible to identify design weaknesses and rapidly validate large subsets of a system.
Modular Schematic/PCB Design
Borrowing from our extensive software development experience, Sparx applies modular design techniques to electronics design as well. Sparx maintains a broad library of pre-validated modular design blocks that can be quickly adapted into new designs with a very high expectation of success.Sparx Engineering also makes use of cutting-edge vendor development kits to quickly integrate custom hardware into "known-good" development stations. Concurrent software development is possible on real hardware, shortening design iterations.
Parallel Supply Chain Management
Sparx Engineering is highly proactive in electronic component sourcing. Our engineering teams understand that a product design that can't be built is a product that won't exist. Circuit designs at Sparx don't enter the PCB layout phase without a 100% parts clear Bill of Materials.
Design for Test
Understanding early in a product design how it will be tested greatly reduces the overall timeline of a project. Sparx Engineering incorporates a variety of test features that enable quick and efficient validation.
Design for Manufacturability
Sparx Engineering is well versed in modern manufacturing techniques and capabilities. When designing for rugged and austere environments, quality and reliability is of the utmost importance. Sparx generates cost effective Bills of Materials with high availability, long term sourcing options, and fit within expected manufacturing capabilities.Raise efficiency and keep your projects on time
