Engineering & NPI
From design inputs to build decisions.
What you bring
Start with a consistent design package. Mark missing information rather than letting the next team infer it.
- BOM, board files and assembly drawings
- Matching revision identifiers and change notes
- Build quantity, stage and the questions to resolve
What we discuss
Review manufacturing questions against the files and the intended build, not against an assumed standard product.
- Assembly access and mechanical interfaces
- Component choices and unresolved material risks
- Inspection access and functional test intent
What gets agreed
Separate confirmed inputs from open actions so the next build starts with an explicit scope.
- An actionable list of open questions
- Documented changes and acceptance decisions
- An owner and next step for each unresolved item
A clear baseline makes feedback useful.
A prototype can answer design questions only when the inputs and the purpose of the build are known.
- 01
Freeze the review package
Identify the files and revisions used for this build. Keep later changes separate until their impact is reviewed.
- 02
Resolve or assign the gaps
Record missing specifications, material decisions and fixture responsibilities. Agree which items must close before assembly.
- 03
Define the feedback
State what the build should demonstrate and which observations should inform the next revision.
