welcome to the engine room

We’re a multidisciplinary product development powerhouse. We know how to create, build and manufacture successful products.

What We Do

research

We investigate and analyse the business, market and user dimensions of an idea. We identify the purpose for the product, ‘the why’, and then build a clear picture defining the right product configuration to achieve the company’s purpose. The outcome of this stage is a clear definition of user, market, product and roadmap requirements as the start point and foundation for product development.

What We Do

Plan

Based on clear user, market and product requirement inputs, we develop system architectures, specifications and a project development path. Research and risk analysis is undertaken to identify key challenges and manage key trade-offs and risks.

What We Do

Design

We generate aesthetic, engineering and technology concepts for initial evaluation. Illustrations, mock-ups and proof of principle prototypes are then developed to test initial concept directions and assumptions. Concept demonstrator prototypes are developed to bring together the various systems into one to evaluate how a complete product may work and start to evaluate various dimensions including human factors, usability, performance, technologies, materials and possible manufacturing scenarios.

What We Do

Engineer

We refine and engineer all of a product’s technical systems including mechanical, electronic and firmware systems. We evaluate potential system, product or process failures and design for testing, assembly and detail for manufacturing. Pre-production alpha prototypes are developed and iterated until the desired performance is achieved.

What We Do

Verify

We develop test plans and support verification activities against engineering specifications or undertake fault analysis when required. These activities ensure the product being developed meets the product requirements defined at the start of the program and achieves the required quality and safety standards.

What We Do

Relase

We develop full manufacturing documentation and support vendor qualification and selection to facilitate smooth transfer to pre-production, pilot, volume or turnkey production. This applies to high and low volume scenarios. We manage tooling, early production parts, assemblies and refinement until all processes and issues have been fully developed and signed off for continuous manufacture.

Our Development Process

What We Do

Our multi-disciplinary approach to product development underpins years of experience.

industrial design

Our industrial designers are artists and engineers. They’re advocates for the end users of the products and systems we create

mechanical engineering

At outerspace our mechanical engineers explore mechanical concepts and determine the technical feasibility of our ideas. 

electronic engineering

Our electronic engineers are focused on the embedded systems of products. This typically starts with requirements and early strategic architecture…

firmware design

Our firmware developers breathe life into the electronics hardware we design for products. Working together on our multidisciplinary team,

program and systems engineering

Our program and systems engineers manage and coordinate the complex multidisciplinary product development programs and projects we thrive on.

industries we work with

safety and industrial

We’ve developed a broad range of safety and industrial products and systems. We have a deep understanding of the specialised

medical and scientific

We work with clients to develop medical devices and scientific instruments across a broad range of speciality areas.
