Turn supplier uncertainty into engineering-grade sourcing decisions.

Supplier Validation & China-side Execution

We help U.S. hardware teams validate suppliers, de-risk engineering choices, and execute prototypes through pilot production on the ground in China.

Supplier validation equipment and inspection station

Validation

Supplier Validation Sprint

For teams comparing suppliers, quotes, or sourcing options.

Best if you have a BOM, PRD, supplier quotes, or an incomplete spec.

Hardware test fixture for engineering validation

Engineering

Engineering Validation Sprint

For teams that need to verify whether a supplier proposal or architecture is actually feasible.

Best if you have complex hardware requirements, mechanical or thermal constraints, or firmware dependencies.

Execution

China Execution Sprint

For teams ready to move from supplier selection into RFQ, samples, pilot build, or production follow-up.

Best if you have a selected supplier, NRE proposal, or prototype build plan.

Case example

Jetson AGX Orin + GMSL Onboard Compute Module.

A robotics / AI hardware team needed to evaluate sourcing paths for an onboard compute module with AGX Orin 64GB, 4+ GMSL camera inputs, a 262 x 202 x 71 mm envelope, and a 1,000-unit production target.

Initial Requirement

  • AGX Orin 64GB
  • 4+ GMSL cameras
  • 24V / 48V power
  • Opal SSD + WiFi
  • 5-10 prototypes, 1,000-unit path

2

What We Found

  • Supplier proposals were not directly comparable
  • One path used Orin NX for fast validation
  • Another AGX platform exceeded the mechanical envelope
  • Custom AGX path required thermal and I/O definition
Automated inspection fixture for hardware validation

Recommendation

  • Fast Validation Track
  • Production-Intent Track
  • Separate prototype from production architecture
  • Evaluate suppliers by fit, risk, and scale

Key Risks Identified

  • AGX bulk supply
  • GMSL camera / driver compatibility
  • 71 mm thermal constraint
  • Quote scope mismatch
GMSL camera input connectors

4x GMSL Camera Inputs

Validated with industry-standard GMSL2 cameras and automotive FAKRA connectors.

Power and I/O validation at a test bench

Power & I/O Validation

24V / 48V input, ignition control, CAN, and high-speed I/O validated on bench.

Thermal testing chamber for onboard compute module

Thermal & Envelope Testing

Thermal performance verified at 71 mm height constraint under full-load conditions.

Production path assembly line for compute modules

Path to Production

Defined validation gates and supplier criteria to support a 1,000-unit production target.
