Exponent has assembled a team of electrical design engineers that excel in rapid development of electronic systems. Our engineers have experience ranging from embedded logic devices and high-speed wearable computing, to low-level RF design and the and the integration of off-the-shelf components into military systems. Exponent’s Technology Development team has repeatedly responded to the challenge of developing low cost solutions to problems faced by the warfighter today. Many of our engineers have served in overseas support roles in both Afghanistan and Iraq giving us a unique understanding of what the soldier faces in his or her daily challenges.
Exponent engineers use industry standard practices and a suite of computer aided design tools to quickly translate client requirements into physical prototypes and production items that can be used in the real world. We have long-standing relationships with vendors and industry partners to ensure rapid development and turn around.
