A Risk-Reduction Mindset
We focus on architecture, verification, and disciplined execution to identify and manage risk early. This approach helps teams avoid surprises later in development and supports confident decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Adaptive Partnership
DE works seamlessly with internal teams to fill gaps in specialized engineering technology. We support full product development, platform modernization, new technology integration, troubleshooting, and obsolescence management—tailored to each client’s needs and development stage.
Predictable Execution
Our proven processes emphasize clarity, accountability, and dependable outcomes. Clients rely on DE for steady execution that keeps complex electronic product development moving forward.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Well, not exactly. For our design customers we can support your product certification efforts through independent testing labs – the engineers that designed your product are the most efficient people to shepherd your product through UL testing by providing key product documentation. Additionally, we “pre-test” using our extensive test lab equipment earlier in the development process to ensure the eventual certification process with an independent lab, such as Underwriters Laboratories or Intertek, go as smoothly as possible.
Yes, we have helped several global customers design products with CE marks, including some self-certification options within the CE standard. Our product development and testing experience ensures that your product meets the necessary compliance standards efficiently, reducing risks and avoiding delays in market entry.
If your product contains a radio transmitter – such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or LoRa – then yes, FCC certification is required. However, using pre-certified FCC modules can streamline the process and reduce the certification burden. These modules are already certified to meet FCC standards, allowing you to incorporate wireless functionality without undergoing the full certification process. Depending on your design and application, this can save time and cost while ensuring compliance.
It depends. At DE Design Works, we focus on long-term partnerships with our clients. When considering new testing service projects, we assess if we can provide ongoing value to the customer over the long term. If we see potential for a lasting relationship where we can support your product development needs, we are open to testing products we didn't design.
We love testing equipment, so our lineup of testing tools and experienced engineers is above average compared to other independent design consultants. If you are ever in the St Louis area, feel free to drop us a line and Dave would be happy to host a tour!
