Competencies

As an engineering company, our technical core competencies center on the collective knowledge of our personnel. Our specific competencies result from coordinating diverse skills and integrating multiple streams of technology to achieve value in the services or products delivered.
Unlike most engineering firms, our competencies extend into manufacturing, providing single-source capabilities from concept to finished product.

Technical Core Competencies
Systems Engineering Capabilities to perform the processes that transform an operational need into a description of system parameters and incorporate those parameters in the control of the total system development to achieve an optimum, cost-effective balance of all system elements.
	System Integration Capabilities to perform the processes that ensure that all of the "pieces" of a system will work together and realize system goals, including the integration of reliability, maintainability, human engineering, safety, and logistics into the system design function.
Analysis and Simulation Capabilities to perform functional analysis, algorithm development, mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and trade studies for the purpose of analyzing and optimizing the performance, configuration, and cost of complex, man-made systems.
	Software Engineering Capabilities to perform the systematic analysis, design, development, evaluation, operation, maintenance, and retirement of programs, codes, procedures, rules, and associated documentation and data pertaining to the operation of computer-based systems.
Sensor Engineering Capabilities to perform the systematic analysis, design, development, test, and use of sensors, instruments, and systems for direct and remote detection and/or measurement of characteristics of objects, materials, and environmental conditions.
	Hardware Development Capabilities to perform the systematic analysis, design, documentation, prototype fabrication, and test of equipment involving electronic, electrical, electro-mechanical, mechanical, structural, thermo-mechanical, thermal, pneumatic, fluid, or fabric elements.
Process Engineering Capabilities to perform the systematic analysis, design, documentation, fabrication, installation, test, and operation of equipment and facilities for the processing of materials, including environmental, safety, cost, and code-compliance considerations.

Manufacturing Competencies Teledyne Brown Engineering has an excellent competency in manufacturing, particularly for prototypes and low-rate-production projects. We have a stable, highly skilled work force, led by professionals with extensive experience.
	For supporting our people, we have modern facilities and up-to-date equipment utilizing numerically controlled machines. Our specialties include machining, metal forming, welding, finishing, and mechanical and electronic assembly. A highly competent, independent quality assurance function guarantees that all products fully comply with all standards and specifications. Michael R.
