Dale Henson founded Engineering By Design (EBD)
in 1985 after working as an Engineering Manager at Fairchild
Semiconductor. Since then, we have successfully developed hundreds of
machines and products used in a variety of industries. We also provide
engineering and support services for everything from project management to
establishing a technical organization.
EBD competes on its ability to design, build, document, and support machines
efficiently. Many things contribute to our efficiency:
- We listen to our customers. Doing it right means getting it right
the first time, and the best way to get it right is to establish all
requirements up front. If a spec doesn't exist, we can write one as
part of our investigation.
Experience gained through years of developing complex machines and
processes is applied to new challenges. Our cutting edge wire
tensioning systems are developed from a web-handling concept, for
example.
EBD uses the best available tools and we maintain backups and
spares for most items. Maintaining excellent equipment means the
project doesn't stop because two people need the same tool, or it is
broken.
Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, we have ready access to
the best resources in the world. If a job calls for an Industrial
Designer, we don't make due without one, we call one - or two.
Our projects are typically on time and budget because we follow
strict procedures on how to perform our work. These procedures hold us
accountable for everything we do. Because we work as a team, quality
and productivity is an integral part of meeting our project goals.
The engineering process that EBD follows is unique. This strategic,
multitasking approach dramatically reduces the length of time required
to complete a project and ensures that requirements are met.
We use the best vendors to support our projects and West Valley
Precision has provided us with excellent machined parts for over 10
years. Let Dane Madsen quote on your fabricated parts, from one-off
prototypes to large production runs.
