Actuators, positioning, and electromechanical systems engineered to the reliability, validation, and domestic-sourcing standards defense programs demand — and independent advisory for government agencies protecting American technology, trade, and supply.
Three decades developing actuators, electric motors, power electronics, magnetic sensing, and embedded controls to the reliability, safety, and validation standards demanded by high-volume safety-critical automotive systems — directly transferable to defense electromechanical systems. He oversaw the team that developed precision motors and controls — producible in North America, with redundant electronics capable of Level 5 autonomy — now in volume production — exactly the domestic, supply-resilient capability defense programs increasingly require.
Note: general engineering advisory; not ITAR or classified work.
Senior engineering judgment brought directly onto the program — to make the hardware reliable, the sourcing resilient, and the validation defensible.
Motors, actuators, and positioning systems assessed and hardened to survive real duty cycles, environments, and the reliability targets a program lives or dies by.
Failure-mode analysis and a validation and test plan that proves the design does what the requirement says — before it fails in the field.
A credible path to motors and electronics that can be built in North America reducing foreign-material dependency — from someone who has already put such designs into production.
Structured investigation of hardware that is failing on the bench, on the line, or in the field — and corrective action that makes it stay fixed.
Sitting between engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing to find what is really happening and drive a failing supplier back to conformance before the schedule slips.
Organization structure, development process, and review discipline that let a team consistently deliver complex electromechanical hardware.
Independent, operator-level advisory for agencies shaping policy and requirements around critical vehicle and industrial technology — grounded in decades of building the systems the rules are meant to protect.
Advises on federal rule-making that protects American industry and competitiveness — with work alongside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and presentations to federal cybersecurity leadership on protecting critical vehicle and industrial technology.
Steering, braking, and propulsion are safety-critical at every level of autonomy, from driver-assist to fully driverless — if they can be hacked, a vehicle can be steered or stopped by an adversary. Christian helped drive clarification that security requirements apply regardless of autonomy level.
Contributed to requirements that directional-control systems contain no Chinese-origin software by 2027 or electrical hardware by 2029 — with guidance on achieving this without losing capability.
Securing the entire technology-and-materials chain, down to the raw material and the mine, sourced outside China and Taiwan — resiliency assurance, the engineering equivalent of a compliance standard, ensuring everything is safely and verifiably sourced.
Guidance on designing around American and allied chipsets for security-critical systems, so trust is built in at the component level.
An operator's independent read for agencies — the Chamber of Commerce, defense, and programs such as DARPA — on which technologies to invest in, where national capability gaps exist, and how to close them.
If one of these sounds like your program, a discovery call is the fastest way to know whether Prometheus can help.
Independent root-cause and corrective action on the hardware, driven to a resolution your team can verify and own.
Actuator ReliabilityA credible route to motors and electronics producible in North America reducing foreign-material dependency — from designs already in production.
Domestic SourcingDFMEA, validation, and test strategy forged in high-volume safety-critical systems, applied to your electromechanical hardware.
Validation & ReliabilityPrecision motors and controls his team developed — North-American-producible, with redundant electronics — are in production at millions of units per year, backed by 20+ U.S. patents in electromechanical and vehicle technology.
