Consulting
Engineers
at FXO Inc. are available to support your design, analysis or
test phase of your projects. Every engineer at FXO Inc. has
taken a project from specification to design and analysis, test
development and test. Most have experience with integrating their
designs onto a spacecraft. Every engineer is well versed in the best
practices in design as well as the handling of electrostatic sensitive
devices.
Examples of recent consulting projects:
- Troubleshoot and repair custom VME boards
for an aerospace company. These boards are used in a spacecraft
simulator. The console was designed and built in the late
1990's. I was able to program PALs for the boards using my Data
I/O programmers. Also doing a lot of debugging of 30 year old
test equipment. Many power supplies have failed in these HP and
Agilent analyzers. I got an Agilent logic analyzer working for
<$1000!
2019
Test, troubleshoot and repair non-flight
version of spacecraft computers that are used in spacecraft simulators
around the country.
