FAQs for Aerospace

Usually, Mechanical Engineering is the foundation, followed closely by Systems and Controls Engineering. Projects are often awarded with tight delivery schedules and our customer company needs 'surge' resources to meet the demand. We can help with a combination of on-site team resources and work performed at our facilities.

With aerospace product engineering services, we design and develop flight-related or ancillary systems that operate in extreme conditions. These specialized services ensure equipment performs reliably while meeting strict government specifications. Our engineers create solutions that withstand high altitude, extreme temperatures, and vibration while maintaining the security protocols required for sensitive IP technologies.

As an ITAR registered firm, Sigma Design applies aerospace engineering expertise while following strict security protocols. We analyze military requirements first, then use advanced simulation tools to develop flight-worthy, or other related solutions that support missions. This process helps government agencies receive aerospace defense products that meet rigorous specifications while reducing development time and resource requirements.

Sigma Design offers structural analysis for components, thermal management for aerospace electronics, and vibration testing for military systems. We design lightweight enclosures that withstand extreme conditions while meeting strict government specifications. Our services include development of UAV components, satellite subsystems, and ground control equipment for defense applications.
