What We Do

Services

Four ways Prometheus is brought in: to advise leadership, to develop and de-risk hard engineering, to fix and strengthen the supply base, and to bring real technical rigor to purchasing. Each is built around senior, hands-on judgment — engaged directly when a program is stuck, a product is failing, or a decision can't wait. Below is what each service covers, and the moment teams typically pick up the phone.

Executive consultation
01 — Advisory

Executive Consultation

Prometheus works directly with leadership teams to set the market and business strategy that turns strong engineering capability into sustainable growth — then streamlines the systems and processes to execute on it. When teams call: a new business unit or technology needs a go-to-market and the organization to deliver it; or leadership needs an honest outside read before committing capital.

  • Go-to-market and business strategy for new products, technologies, and business units
  • Localization and reshoring strategy for domestic, non-adversarial manufacturing and sourcing
  • Strategic planning, budgeting, and P&L oversight support
  • Guidance on OEM partnerships, program pursuit, and competitive positioning
  • Business-model development to reduce overhead and grow revenue
  • New venture formation and organizational scaling
  • Assessment & redesign of engineering, quality, and program-management workflows
  • Implementation support for IATF 16949 and ISO 26262 compliant development systems
  • Cross-functional alignment across sales, marketing, finance, purchasing, and quality
Engineering development
02 — Engineering

Engineering Development

Three decades developing electric power steering, braking, propulsion, and sensing systems from concept through full-rate production — hands-on engineering leadership across the entire lifecycle, including the structured problem-solving that gets stuck programs moving again. When teams call: a product fails and the team can't find why, or a program is stuck between prototype and production.

  • System, subsystem, and component-level requirements generation
  • Test procedure and pass/fail criteria authoring for validation & manufacturing
  • Requirements traceability aligned to ISO 26262 and IATF 16949
  • Concept-to-production leadership for electronics, sensors, motors, and control systems
  • FEA oversight (stress, thermal, magnetic), Taguchi Robust Engineering, and Shainin tools
  • Embedded software, power electronics, and mixed-signal IC development oversight
  • Program management for launch readiness, supplier quality, and validation
  • Structured root-cause analysis with corrective & preventive action
  • Agile implementation for hardware & software teams; EMC/EMI lab & ISO 17025 support
Supplier development
03 — Supply Base

Supplier Development

Prometheus helps clients build and strengthen the supply base behind their electronics and mechatronic systems — drawing on direct experience managing supplier quality and design collaboration through some of the industry's most demanding launches. When teams call: a supplier can't meet spec and launch is slipping, or engineering and the supplier each blame the other.

  • Supplier assessment, selection, and qualification support
  • Joint design and manufacturing quality improvement with key suppliers
  • Launch readiness, including supplier-side validation and issue resolution
  • Supplier performance management and continuous-improvement programs
  • Domestic, China-free sourcing: building components and systems without Chinese-origin materials, parts, or software
  • Component cybersecurity & supply-chain integrity: vetting parts for provenance and trust, and screening for adversarial hardware or firmware before they enter the product
  • Electronic supply-chain risk assessment and mitigation planning
Mechatronics purchasing
04 — Purchasing

Mechatronics Purchasing

Deep, firsthand knowledge of motors, power electronics, and sensing hardware brought to purchasing decisions — specifying, evaluating, and sourcing components with the technical rigor of an engineering organization, not just a procurement function. When teams call: purchasing needs to specify or second-source a motor, sensor, or power-electronics component with real technical rigor.

  • Technical evaluation of motor, sensor, and power-electronics suppliers and components
  • Cost and overhead analysis for lowest-cost, highest-quality sourcing
  • Make-vs-buy analysis for mechatronic subsystems and components
  • Specification review and technical negotiation support for purchasing teams
  • Sourcing components with verified provenance, free of Chinese-origin content for security-sensitive programs
  • Cybersecurity screening of electronic components — assessing parts for supply-chain and firmware trust before they enter the design
  • Bridging engineering and purchasing to align technical requirements with supply strategy
How Engagements Work

A clear path from problem to solved.

Every service follows the same disciplined path — Discovery Call, Diagnose & Scope, Plan, Execute, and Transfer. It starts with a focused 30-minute discovery call and an honest read on fit, moves through a written scope with success criteria you approve and a milestone plan with no surprises, then hands-on execution — and ends with corrective actions verified and knowledge transferred so your team owns the outcome, not a dependency.
