Supply chain consulting for EV, aerospace, defense, and robotics.
The common thread is direct-material sourcing under tight cost and schedule pressure: new supply bases, volatile commodities, and production ramps that don't forgive late decisions.
Electric vehicles and automotive tech
Battery, e-motor, power electronics, castings, and the long tail of automotive commodities, with PPAP, APQP, and the volume ramps that come with a vehicle program. We have taken programs from sourcing kickoff to start of production and know where the ramp breaks.
Aerospace and new space
Low-volume, high-mix supply chains with long qualification cycles, AS9100 suppliers, and parts where a single escape grounds a launch. We help new-space and aviation companies build supply bases that can scale from prototypes to rate.
Defense technology
Venture-backed defense companies moving from prototype to program of record need domestic sources, DFARS-compliant flow-downs, and suppliers who can handle surge demand. We help structure that supply base without slowing the engineering team down.
Robotics and automation
Actuators, motors, sensors, compute, and precision mechanical parts, at volumes that sit awkwardly between prototype and automotive. We help robotics companies get automotive-grade discipline without automotive overhead.
Energy storage and climate hardware
Battery storage, charging, electrolyzers, and grid hardware share the same pressures: commodity exposure, tariff and domestic-content rules, and scaling a supply base quickly. We bring the EV playbook to adjacent hardware.
Services across every industry
Scoped to one commodity or one function, with outcomes you can measure.
Should-cost analysis
Bottom-up cost models built from cycle time, material indices, and machine rates, so every negotiation starts from what the part should cost.
