SDI

Silicon Valley Product Design & Engineering.

We turn ambitious ideas into market ready products through advanced product design, engineering, AI, and software programming. Then we leverage our network of vetted manufacturers to build them in Asia at the lowest cost and highest quality.

Idea-Phase Capabilities

We transform concepts into engineering-ready products by defining hardware, electronics, and manufacturing requirements.

  • Product & CAD Design

    Industrial design through release ready drawings and models.

  • PCB & Embedded Systems

    Board layout, bring up, and firmware aligned to your architecture.

  • Robotics & Motion

    Mechanisms, actuation, and integration for automated products.

  • Firmware & Control

    Sensing, loops, and secure paths from bare metal through RTOS.

  • Prototyping & DFM

    Builds that stress manufacturability before hard tooling.

Global Manufacturing Management

Execution is where programs stall or scale. SDI stays on top of build readiness, escalations, rework loops, and objective evidence so California stakeholders stay aligned while Asia keeps moving.

We oversee complete vendor qualification, purchase orders, and multi-timezone escalation ownership. Our on-site team provides rigorous PCBA, mechanical assembly, and integration oversight directly at our partner factories.

Incoming quality routines are anchored by golden samples and strict data traceability aligned directly to your quality plan. SDI completely manages your global logistics coordination, including air/sea freight, customs packets, and final dock readiness.

Manufacturing Partners and Market Ready Creative

SDI assists in identifying the right manufacturing partners for your program. Contracts stay directly between you and the manufacturer. Our role is expert facilitation, technical diligence, and program continuity so you engage factories with clarity and confidence.

We also provide hands on support for packaging design and the creation of digital marketing materials, so the product story you ship matches the quality of the hardware inside the box.

From One Perfect Prototype to a Shipping Container Ready for Market

Scale is repeatability, documentation, and controlled change. We help you graduate from golden samples to predictable output with traceability your customers can trust.

  • Prototype

    Precision builds and specification hardening before high-volume silicon or steel commitments.

  • Optimization

    Yield improvement, supplier transitions, and cost-down programs that preserve long-term reliability.

  • Launch

    Production ramp, packaging readiness, and lifecycle planning for global field support.
