Hardware Design Services

NOVO Engineering provides comprehensive mechanical and electronic hardware design services. Our staff of over 60 electro-mechanical development engineers use their knowledge of physics, engineering, and materials technology to create designs for new products and automated equipment. Our design engineers have honed their skills on medical devices connected to the cloud, high-performance inkjet and 3D printing systems, biomedical consumables, and custom automation. Working closely with user-experience design partners, we seek to balance the dual requirements of function and usability.

Design, Analysis, and Simulation for Products and Machines

Providing comprehensive mechanical hardware design services for product development applications requires a staff with expertise in enclosure design, mechanism design, control systems, materials selection, manufacturing engineering, fluidics, and optical systems, to name a few. An experience-driven approach that utilizes a combination of analysis, simulation, prototyping, and testing is applied by our team. Their efforts are facilitated by NOVO’s extensive inventory of hardware and software tools, which include on-site machine shops, 3D printers, and environmental test facilities.

Analog and Digital Electronics Design

We design custom electronics hardware to meet specific application requirements. Hardware may be fully analog or designed around microprocessors or microcontrollers, often working in tandem with an FPGA. Industrial applications are designed around OTS, DIN-rail-mount components communicating via industry-standard bus architectures. Our electrical engineering team routinely incorporates analog and digital sensor inputs, multiple touch-enabled display technologies, and control outputs for actuators, motion control, and temperature control into designs.

NOVO uses Altium Designer as its primary in-house ECAD tool, though the team is experienced with many other industry standard tools from vendors such as Cadence (ORCAD) and Mentor Graphics.
