ALTEN Technology recently undertook a complex project focused on the design of software-defined radios for missile-detection satellites within the satellite communications and aerospace sectors. The approach involved assembling a multidisciplinary project team with deep aerospace radio frequency (RF)-circuity design experience, integrating electrical engineers directly into the client’s environment to foster collaboration and accelerate the project timeline. ALTEN Technology successfully modified inherited PCBA designs and generated four new ones for three unique software-defined radios operating in various frequency bands to meet precise customer requirements. Comprehensive analysis, including derating, failure modes and effects criticality analysis (FMECA), and mechanical skyline analysis, was performed on all updated and new PCBA designs. Throughout the engagement, project performance metrics and KPIs were meticulously tracked and reported to the client, even while managing three parallel radio projects with shifting priorities. As a result, ALTEN Technology generated, reviewed, and released seven unique PCBA designs within the client’s desired timeframe, delivering reliability engineering and electrical analysis in strict accordance with the AS9100 quality management program. First article units were also procured, fabricated, and brought-up to validate the new designs for the client.
