Concept & Feasibility Engineering
Early-stage engineering projects often carry uncertainty around technical direction, design assumptions, integration constraints, and the practical path toward a working prototype.
Ignis Core Technology provides focused support to help define that path more clearly. This includes concept development, early-stage technical thinking, feasibility review, and structured engineering input to reduce risk before larger commitments are made.
Typical support includes
- concept development
- feasibility assessment
- engineering calculations
- design reviews
- technical risk identification
- next-step recommendations
Best suited to
- startups developing new hardware products
- university teams building demonstrators or research hardware
- spinouts translating research into practical systems
- SMEs assessing a new technical concept or development route
Outcome
A clearer engineering direction and a more practical basis for the next stage of development.
Prototype & Test Hardware Design
The transition from concept to physical hardware is where many technical projects slow down. Prototype assemblies, test rigs, fixtures, and development hardware often need more practical engineering structure before they are ready for build and use.
Ignis Core Technology supports this stage with focused mechanical design input aimed at turning early ideas into hardware that can be manufactured, assembled, tested, and refined.
Typical support includes
- CAD development
- prototype hardware design
- test rig and fixture design
- mechanical design refinement
- manufacturing drawings
- design-for-manufacture input
- supplier-ready engineering outputs
Best suited to
- startups moving toward first prototypes
- research groups developing demonstrators or test systems
- spinouts needing buildable hardware
- technical teams that need extra support on active development work
Outcome
Practical hardware design outputs that support build, test and engineering progress.
Fractional Engineering Support
Not every business or project needs permanent engineering headcount straight away. Many teams need focused support across active development work, design reviews, technical planning, prototype coordination and practical problem solving and only at the points where it matters most.
Ignis Core Technology provides flexible engineering support for teams that need additional capability, specialist input or structured guidance during technically demanding stages of development.
Typical support includes
- design reviews
- technical planning
- development support
- engineering problem solving
- supplier coordination
- design refinement
- structured input across live projects
Best suited to
- startups staying lean while building technical momentum
- university spinouts needing specialist support before scaling internal capability
- research teams with funded technical work packages
- SMEs needing extra engineering bandwidth on development projects
Outcome
Reliable engineering support that helps projects move faster, reduces technical uncertainty, and adds capability without the overhead of a full-time hire.
