Function – ensuring that the end-product will provide the functionality defined by our customers.

Form Factor – on the surface this often seems simple, however a vast amount of elements need to be taken into consideration, such as; the location and orientation of connectors, the ingress/egress of airflow for cooling, ergnomics, considerations for the sake of ruggedness, RF shielding, algignment for installation, usability and modularity, etc.

Time-to-Market – striking a balance between functions that are supported by standard off-the-shelf integrated circuits versus those done in CPU/GPU and those done in an FPGA, requires forethought. Trade-offs between cost, power draw and flexibilty are made.

Cost versus Future Proof – AimValley’s system engineering team designs to minimize both the cost of the design cycle as well as the cost of goods sold, while still taking into account sustainability, supply continuity and future proof flexibility.

Manufacturability – ensuring that the product is efficient and practical to be manufacturered, leveraging reduction in manual labor without sacrificing quality.
