Engineering Support

We help government and prime customers keep legacy platforms in service, qualify second sources, and move critical hardware from “F-condition sample” to fully documented, production-ready parts.
Applied design, analysis, and reverse engineering

HBS End-to-End Engineering Support

Engineering support is the technical engine behind our supply chain and manufacturing work. It includes:

  • Reverse engineering and 2nd-source development for obsolete or hard-to-procure items

  • CAD modeling and detailed drawings to modern standards

  • Test procedure development and Special Test Equipment (STE) design

  • First Article Test (FAT) support, data collection, and reporting

  • Design for manufacturability and sustainment recommendations

Every engagement is tied directly to a mission need: get a critical component back into production, reduce lead times, or eliminate a single-source risk in the supply chain.

From Obsolete Part to Approved Design

Define Problem

We start by clarifying your mission need, system constraints, and success criteria to align engineering to your product needs.

Collect Samples

Manages procurement, supplier partnerships, and second-source development for reliable material flow.

Reverse Engineer

Our team inspects, measures, and tests the part to accurately capture geometry, materials, and performance.

Develop Package

We create modern CAD models, detailed drawings, BOMs, and supporting documents that fit seamlessly into your configuration and quality systems.

Validate Design

HBS designs any required Special Test Equipment, develops FAT procedures, and supports testing to verify form, fit, and function against your requirements.

Production Handoff

Once validated, we transition the design into production, support second-source qualification, and stay engaged to handle future revisions or obsolescence.

Quality and security built in

Certified to Deliver Reliable Results

ISO 9001:2015

Our engineering work is governed by an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system, so every drawing, test procedure, and data package is controlled, traceable, and audit-ready. This ensures your re-engineered parts are produced consistently and can be trusted across LRIP and long-term sustainment.

Every process measured, managed, and verified for quality.

CAGE Code 71RR2

This designation allows HBS to source, manage, and deliver materials directly into authorized defense supply chains with full traceability and compliance. For our partners, it means every transaction is backed by verified eligibility and transparent oversight.

Confirms active registration as a trusted supplier.

CMMC-Aligned Cybersecurity Practices

Because engineering support relies on sensitive technical data, our processes and systems are aligned with CMMC requirements to protect your information. You get the confidence that models, specifications, and documentation are handled with rigor.

Audit-ready cybersecurity.

JCP Certified (DD 2345)

HBS is approved under the Joint Certification Program, authorizing access to unclassified technical data governed by DoD and DoC export control regulations. This certification allows collaboration with customers who require controlled design packages, drawings, and documentation.

Allows HBS to receive controlled technical data immediately.

Typical Engineering Support Engagements

Use HBS Engineering Support when you need to:

  • Replace an obsolete component where the OEM has exited and only a damaged field unit is available.

  • Qualify a second source to reduce risk on a critical assembly or subsystem.

  • Update drawings and documentation for legacy parts to current standards and formats.

  • Design custom fixtures or test equipment to support FAT or production testing.

  • Support LRIP and sustainment production with ongoing engineering, CAD updates, and test refinement.

Operational Clarity

FAQ: Engineering Support

No. Many engagements begin with a single F-condition part and limited documentation. HBS can reverse engineer the item, validate materials and dimensions, and then build a full technical data package as part of the scope.
Yes. We routinely support rapid prototyping, LRIP, and full-rate production, using the same engineering backbone so changes and lessons learned carry forward cleanly.
Most customers start with a short capabilities briefing and a specific part or problem. From there, we define scope, deliverables, and timelines that align with your program schedule and approval path.
