EDO’s Embedded Systems Engineering team is behind the software that drives many EDO products. Our team supports EDO’s internal needs, and the needs of external clients, with a full suite of embedded software development products.

PRODUCT OFFERING AND CAPABILITIES
EDO’s Embedded Systems Engineering team provides a full range of software and hardware solutions to support the design, development, integration, testing, and production of real-time, embedded systems.

Full Software Development - EDO can provide support for software development including:

• Software Requirements Analysis: Analyzing the software specific requirements to determine the functional, operational, performance, and safety requirements that the software must satisfy
• Architectural Design: Identifying the components of a system, their organization and interaction. The Architectural Design needs to be consistent with the system requirements and constraints. It also identifies any critical issues and explains any design choices that were made.
• Detail Design: Provides the added detail necessary to implement the Architectural Design.
• Construction: Produce, unit test, and validate the source code necessary for implementing the Architectural and Detailed Designs.

CURRENT INITIATIVES
Embedded products currently focuses on opportunities consisting of embedded systems development within the following application domains in the order listed:

• Commercial Sensors: Focus on Product Development activities that incorporate complex sensors into Next Generation Product lines.
• Military Sensors: All size military contractors within Aerospace, EW, ESM, Radar and other communication systems sectors.
• Industrial Automation: Companies that require automated controllers within their product lines.
• Laboratory Instrumentation: Measurement and Analysis Instrumentation focusing on next generation and other product development activities.

WHY EDO CORPORATION?

HOW DO WE DO IT?
We have a staff with over 170 full-time engineers in a variety of disciplines allowing us to assemble the ideal team with just the right mix of skills and experience.

The complex performance requirements are achieved not only through the assignment of senior engineers and the most suitable technologies, but also through the application of a certified development process which emphasizes requirement management, technical review, and simulation and test. Our staff’s ability to work effectively in a cross-functional engineering organization insures the development of complex systems, which requires independent and integrated testing at all levels.

As an ISO 9001 and SEI certified company, we use proven project management processes and methodologies to ensure customer requirements are met in a timely manner. From project definition, to planning, through execution, and delivery, our project management processes ensure we fully address your requirements.

To keep your project progressing smoothly, we use documented processes and methodologies that have been proven across numerous implementations. So aggressive schedules and time-to-market issues don’t scare us. Along with creating detailed project plans, we work closely with you to ensure you’re with us every step of the way . . . from project launch to completion.

It is through process that we provide a full range of software and hardware products that support design, development, integration, testing, and production of real-time, embedded systems.

CHALLENGE US
Our staff's ability to work effectively in a cross-functional engineering organization insures successful development of complex systems in a very competitive market.

Recent Project Success

Chemical Detection – Monitoring Instrumentation
Homeland Defense – Commercial Environmental Market
We provide the real-time software and hardware for a Remote air Monitoring System that controls an infrared spectrometer that analyzes spectrographic signatures for the presence of chemicals in the targeted environment. Using special FFT algorithms and a library of operator programmed chemical agents the instrument provides monitoring of chemical plants and excavation sites, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.

Fuel Gauging and Management Instrumentation
Commercial and Defense Aerospace Markets
We assisted our client with upgrading instrumentation for nearly all of its Fuel Quantity Gauging Systems. The customer required an outsourcing partner that had the breath and depth of ability to cross all aspects of DO-178B Level A Flight-critical embedded systems development. We were required to deliver not only the Embedded Software Development but also deliver results in the areas of Digital Hardware Design and Integration, Independent Validation and Verification, and Special Test Equipment as well.

Special Test Equipment – Reuse Design
Commercial and Defense Aerospace Markets
Completed and delivered a fully developed special test equipment software product using embedded technologies. This effort required a complete team of software engineers and a full engineering development environment. The test software and test equipment were designed to meet the customer requirement that it could be re-used in their projects both now and in the future.

Nuclear Detection – Imaging Instrumentation
Commercial Nuclear Power Market
We developed an embedded software system that provided both 2-D and 3-D visual gamma ray detection and measure dose rates of gamma ray hot spots that pose dangerous conditions.

Long Range Optical Reconnaissance System – Optical Sensor and Imaging Defense Electronics - Military/DoD Market
The customer required a team of real-time embedded programming expertise using Ada and hardware sensor controls. We provide requirements analysis, detail design, construction, test, and integration. We received commendations from our customer for keeping the embedded flight program on schedule while providing a quality product.

The complex performance requirements of these projects are achieved not only through the assignment of senior engineers and the most suitable technologies, but also through the application of a SEI CMM certified development process which emphasizes requirement management, technical review and simulation and test.

We use process driven development multi-discipline teams to meet and exceed our customers' expectations.

OUR EMBEDDED SYSTEM TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES COVER A BROAD RANGE WHICH CONSIST OF:

WHY OUTSOURCE?
Customers find that outsourcing product design & engineering tasks, help them to convert innovative ideas into real products.

Understandably deciding whether or not to outsource key product design and development activities can be a daunting process.

• Can you entrust a third party designer to deliver?
• Will you lose control of the project?
• What about confidentiality issues?

These are all legitimate concerns particularly in today’s economic and competitive environment.

EDO embedded engineering has an established track record of an on-time delivery process that gives you, the customer, clear visibility to your project, and signs a non-disclosure agreement on all projects to ensure confidentiality.

The key to outsourcing success is finding the right partner with a proven track record. For more than 30 years, EDO has been successfully tackling complex design challenges and delivering cost effective solutions that reduce time-to-market.

Customer’s find that outsourcing product design and engineering tasks help them to convert innovative ideas into real products and provide numerous other benefits such as:

• Reduce fixed overhead – leaner and flexible labor
• Improvement in Company focus – allows focus on CORE expertise for new product development
• Access to facilities and tools – use EDO’s – no investment needed
• Access to broad expertise – use EDO’s technical bench strength – no new hires
• Additional source of new ideas – EDO’s technical suggestions

Customers find that by outsourcing with EDO's embedded engineering, elements of product design and investment in developing non-core technical capabilities is minimized. Cash flow is increased, which can be reinvested into strategic areas of core competence thereby enhancing long-term value creation. Tapping into capabilities not available internally frees our clients to concentrate energies in other areas of expertise that are of a more direct benefit to their business and the bottom line.

Simply put, outsourcing means finding a better way to do business.
