Enabling World Changing Product Innovation
We start with engineering fundamentals, add in customer specifications, leverage our in-house design, simulation, test, and manufacturing, and tie it all together with flexible project management to bring your innovation to life.
More than a Black Box - A Part Of
Your Team
Most companies offering simulation services have a “black box” business model. You give them a problem statement, they give you a quote. You give them money, they give you a report. At PADT we look at simulation as a collaborative effort that begins with us working to understand what answers you are trying to find with your simulation. Once we understand that we will work with you to establish the right problem statement and a reasonable price.

Why PADT for Product Develoment?
Real-world experience in multiple disciplines and industries deliver greater creativity and faster problem solving
Flexibility, communication, and comprehensive processes deliver a project management system that allows innovative creativity while meeting challenging requirements and schedules
Developing products is often a balance between control and creativity. Cost, schedule, and resources often contradict the need for creativity in problem-solving and adaptation to unexpected challenges. Over the years, PADT has developed a project management methodology based on flexibility as well as frequent and open communication. Working as a team with the customer and vendors, or project managers plan, monitor, and manage in a balanced and adaptable way. This approach has proven to be extremely effective for our customers, meshing well with their internal processes and giving them the confidence that PADT’s team will meet schedule, budget, and performance specifications. All while still allowing for collaborative creativity that gets to those goals faster and often exceeds them. You can get a glimpse of our methodology when we work with you on preparing a proposal for your product development project, or we would be more than happy to refer you to one of our many long-term customers.
Diverse experience, tools, and resources enable the design of world-changing products
case study
Delivering Intelligent Orthopedics
OrthoSensor contacted PADT Medical in 2009 to aid with the development of their early stage prototypes and regulatory activities. A true collaborative partnership was born, and PADT has continued to work with OrthoSensor throughout every stage of product design and development. During this period Orthosensor has commercialized the first set of Intelligent Instruments and leveraged the technology to expand their product line. Their local engineering group continues to rent a suite of offices and a lab within the walls of PADT.
“”PADT’s Design Team was instrumental in working with Orthosensor throughout the design and development activities of the Orthosensor Knee Balance. Their commitment and flexibility to our business needs allowed us to bring our product to market in a significantly shortened period of time.”” – Juan C Fernandez, COO, Orthosensor Inc

The next generation of personal satellite messaging and emergency communication
Globalstar was searching for an engineering firm to design the next generation of their successful family of SPOT products. The global satellite messenger is required to work under demanding outdoor conditions, across a wide temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and altitude range (-100 meters to +6500 meters). It has to be waterproof, durable, droppable, marine oriented, and RoHS compliant.
“PADT has been like an extension of our own design team and totally understood our unique product design constraints from the get go. Despite ever evolving product requirements and short design cycles, they managed to stick to their original schedule and provide a successful product design. Additionally, their ability to coordinate with our overseas manufacturing partner has proved invaluable for getting through the difficult last stages of high volume mass production.”
– Eric Blanchard, Senior Design Engineer, Globalstar Inc
