Product Development Engineers
Porticos Product Development Engineers understand the entire life-cycle of product development. We balance the trade-offs between features, costs, and schedules while rising to the intertwined challenges of designing and manufacturing products for devices that require regulatory approval. When we’re not working on domestic projects, we also provide our services to international clients and inter-governmental organizations – helping them with aerospace & defense, homeland security, oil & gas, transportation, medical technologies and general industrial sectors.
