Managers from established firms typically come to us when they need an electronic design project completed. In some cases, these firms have technical expertise in biology, chemistry, mechanical engineering or software applications, but not in electronic design. In other cases, these managers need SK2X's engineering team to complete their overall project on schedule. Some managers choose us because we can often beat their own internal timeframe to design, fabricate, assemble, and bring up a prototype.

SK2X will manage the design project for you by coordinating project resources, involving members of your internal team, and regularly keeping you updated on design progress and project costs.

SK2X offers you an engineering team with:

  • A reputation for solving challenging technical problems
  • Experience working effectively within larger organizations
  • An appreciation for collaboration and the transfer of knowledge
