We provide mechanical design services and expert mechanical design engineering that deliver reliable, certifiable solutions. From FEA and vibration analysis to environmental testing and compliance, our mechanical engineering consultancy helps projects certify faster and perform with confidence.
Trusted by aerospace, oil & gas, and manufacturing leaders, our mechanical design engineering consultancy delivers validated solutions that reduce downtime and accelerate certification.
We deliver mechanical design services and mechanical design engineering that go far beyond drawings. By combining Finite Element Analysis (FEA), vibration & structural dynamics insight, instrumented measurements, and environmental, vibration and shock testing, we produce durable, compliant designs that certify faster through regulatory compliance.
Many teams rely solely on CAD/analysis and discover weaknesses only at test. Our mechanical design engineering approach closes that gap: decades of failure analysis & root-cause investigations and project experience feed directly into every design decision.
We engineer for BS/EN/ISO, API, DO-160, and Mil-Std-810 from the outset, accelerating certification and reducing programme risk.
Define loads, interfaces, and compliance targets to guide robust architecture.
Physics-led CAD with FEA and structural dynamics for strength, fatigue, vibration, and shock.
Prototype early and align scope/cost with engineering management.
Plan strain measurement and modal testing for correlation and design validation.
Execute vibration & environmental testing to DO-160 / Mil-Std-810 and relevant ISO/EN.
When needed, root-cause analysis drives redesign; model updating raises predictive confidence.

Paul Schmitz, MBA CEng MIMechE MIoA is a Chartered Mechanical and Acoustical Engineer with 29 years in vibration, dynamics, reliability, testing, and FEA across aerospace, oil & gas, manufacturing, and research.
We design and validate to BS/EN/ISO, API, RTCA/DO-160, and Mil-Std-810, preparing evidence packs for regulatory compliance.
We combine physics-led CAD with FEA, modal testing, and field measurements. Our mechanical design engineering eliminates issues before certification, reducing rework and programme risk.
Typical targets include RTCA/DO-160, Mil-Std-810, relevant BS/EN/ISO and API. We account for vibration, shock, thermal, humidity, and acoustic/NVH from day one.
Requirements & environments → concept & FEA → prototype & correlation → test & evidence packs. A scoping workshop produces a plan with deliverables, risks, and a certification path.
Yes — we run root-cause analysis, retune with dynamics/FEA, then validate corrections via retesting.
We work under NDA as standard. Models, drawings, and test data remain your IP; we provide traceable calculation notes and compliance evidence packs.
Our integrated approach to analysis, measurement, testing, and compliance shortens time-to-certification and boosts reliability. If you need mechanical design services or expert mechanical design engineering, we can help.
