the client
A leading American technology company, the client specializes in aerospace and defense products, providing advanced solutions in avionics, mechanical systems, and space exploration technologies.
challenge
The client’s Illinois-based business unit faced challenges in maintaining progress on key space exploration programs, including the development of sensors and control systems for lunar landings and other aerospace projects. Their core engineering team was stretched too thin, risking delays in innovation and project timelines.
- specialized talent needs: Expertise in mechanical design, thermal analysis, and tools like ANSYS was essential to meet the demands of aerospace projects.
- bandwidth constraints: Overloaded internal engineers lacked the capacity to focus on high-priority tasks.
- scalability issues: The client needed to quickly scale its talent pool to meet growing program demands.
- risk of delays: Time-consuming tasks like design validation and CAD system updates threatened to derail project timelines.
our approach
Randstad Digital set up a Managed Resource Program (MRP) to provide the client with specialized talent that addressed key engineering challenges. The program began with a team of five engineers, who quickly made an impact by filling critical gaps in design and analysis. As the program progressed, the team grew to 10 professionals, each bringing the skills needed for aerospace and defense projects.
Key contributions included:
- mechanical design and analysis: Assisting with the development of sensors and control systems for lunar missions and other space projects.
- thermal stress and fatigue analysis: Using tools like ANSYS to ensure components could endure the harsh conditions of space.
- CAD system modernizations: Upgrading designs to improve manufacturability and meet modern standards.
- design validation: Ensuring components integrated smoothly and functioned as intended, reducing risks and errors.
By providing the right talent, we helped the client’s internal team focus on innovation and critical project goals, speeding up progress on their space exploration programs.
