System Posts

We are not prophets! At one point or another in the design process we must assess if the system is going to perform as we wanted it to. In this post we explore one very important tool for this task – the Tolerance Analysis

Technical meeting is an important tool in our toolbox. This post will give and overview of how to effectively use these meetings to make the most of it

This post is about timeline management and how to avoid the very common phenomenon of complex development processes (very) late delivery

During the product life-cycle there comes a time for the Transfer from Development to Production. In this post we dive into the ins and outs of this seam between the two disciplines

The Product Life Cycle is the guideline for every activity in R&D. In this post we cover the tasks as they change and adapt for each stage in the product life cycle.

In some mysterious way the R&D members are led by the System Engineers as their technical leads. Why does it happen and how to maintain these relations?

Retention and separation are big issues in the industry. In this post we dwell on the different factors that may impact employee retention and if need be, separation.

In this first of two posts series we uncover a few insights of how to achieve a successful recruitment and onboarding from a technical point of view

In this post in the Event-Based cameras series we explore an imaging application of a very interesting mechanical phenomenon – crack growth. The application will show the clear advantages of using neuromorphic cameras for these fast moving cases

The day-to-day optical tasks change when dealing with an event-based camera. Ever thought how to focus a static scene when there is not image if the scene is static? Read about focusing methods when using neuromorphic cameras

Event-Based cameras start to emerge here and there in the industry. In this first post in this post series we give an introduction to a different imaging technology that may become handy in many applications.

At one point or another something will go wrong in our system and we would be forced to solve it. Here is all about Troubleshooting, the ocean we all would like to avoid but must know how to swim in.

We define, set and change system parameters all the time, sometimes even without knowing they are systematic. In this post we detail what is so special in these system parameters and how they relate to the development process.

Algorithm design may be treated as an art; however, in the development process even the artists need a well organized flow and emphasis points as detailed in this post.

Quite often we have to perform vendor selection for our system. This post lays out the different parameters that would impact this selection.

All about the different types of creativity and innovation required from engineers and how to have a better creativity-role fit

When conducting an experiment not always we get the outcome we wanted. This post details how to reach the best possible outcome when planning and executing an experiment.

FMEA is an important engineering tool to map failures and error handling in complex systems. In this post we go over the main secrets of the process

The camera is the heart of an imaging system and as such the camera selection is a crucial engineering process. This post covers the main aspects of the process.

Requirements for an imaging system are always challenging. Did we cover everything? In this post we detail the important parameters and items that should appear in our Imaging System Requirements.

The second of a two part series about project risks under the System Engineering responsibility, and this time about project risk management, mitigations and some risk management good practices

The first of a two part series about project risks under the System Engineering responsibility, detailing the different project risks types and how to approach them

As we integrate lasers in many optical systems we must define the laser requirements properly to achieve the best fit laser unit. This post details the different parameters that should be considered when collecting these requirements.

There are many stakeholders in a project, all with different agendas. This post describes which project stakeholders are there and when to involve them in our project.

Describe the main attributes for prototyping system design processes, what pitfalls to avoid when prototyping and some general guidelines

We explore what different methods are there for System Development Process, when should we use each method and why every project should be treated differently

Exploring the goals and methods of calculating a technical budget – a crucial process in every complex system development

Unveiling the mystery of System Engineering and detail the roles and responsibilities of the System Engineer

How to get to the initial system requirements for a system and understanding what must be implemented in a system in technical terms
