Conduction Technologies Aerospace Product Engineering

Leadership

Conduction Technologies is led by Eric Becnel. He has over a decade of experience supporting system level issues with embedded technologies. This experience includes spacecraft, manned aviation, unmanned aviation, industrial, residential, and consumer product development, often serving as a chief engineer. He has supported private industry (X-prize missions and tech startups) in addition to working with NASA, ARMY, and AFWERX on various programs. Mr. Becnel is an Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer, with a master’s degree in advanced heat transfer. He has experience with electronics, embedded firmware, solar cells, batteries, metals, plastics, manufacturing, testing, quality control, production processes, and more. 

Eric Becnel Conduction Technologies Chief Engineer

Using this wide range of experience, Mr. Becnel is a critical problem solver and approaches each question by understanding the requirements of a given technical need, evaluating possible technical solutions, and making a recommendation of how to best use available technologies. The method of creative problem solving has resulted in the development of multiple patented technologies

Meet Our Team

Our team consists of employees, contractors, and partner companies covering multiple disciplines and functionalities in the product development lifecycle.

Available to conceptualize, design, analyze, build, test, and document electronic circuits. This may include work with power supplies, microprocessors, sensors, radios, and other critical technologies for most embedded projects. Advanced technologies demand state-of-the-art design with state-of-the-art chip and manufacturing processes. Often,  electrical design are robotically manufactured. 

Available to conceptualize, design, implement, document, and test embedded firmware and software for controlling the embedded systems. This may include work with bare metal RTOS, Linux, etc. on various architectures such as ARM. Real time, stable, secure code is a common theme across programs. 

Available to conceptualize, design, prototype manufacture, document, and test various mechanical systems, both as mechanisms and housings. Thermal and structural design is critical but challenged by manufacturability, environmental protection, weight, and reliability challenges. These designs include metals, plastics, composites, and other materials, depending on the program.

Responsible for developing, maintaining, and reporting the complex set of tasks for a product to be developed. This includes internal efforts and other supplier efforts to ensure a successful outcome for programs.

As designs are created, we manufacture first prototypes for customers to test and validate that the design meets the requirements. This may invoice electronics assembly, mechanical fabrication, or system level testing.

Often tightly coupled with embedded system development is a mobile app! We are available to conceptualize, design, implement, document, and test cross-platform mobile apps developed in Flutter. We have an internal software repository we are able to use to move efficiently through the development of apps talking with hardware for customer projects.

Our Expertise

We have developed dozens of unique embedded systems over the past decade.

We have been involved in the design, development, testing, and production of embedded electronics, software, and mechanical systems. Our work spans a variety of markets, ranging from consumer toys, to industrial appliances and aerospace technologies.

By supporting multiple industries, we maintain unique perspectives into the current and emerging technologies that are available for consideration in product development.

Our Resources

When you work with Conduction Technologies, you gain access to a wide array of resources to help you throughout the product development lifecycle.

Our team is equipped with a broad assortment of engineering programs, testing apparatus, and development tools to counter any challenge that may present itself during the product design process.

We regularly work with customers through virtual collaboration tools, meaning you can count on the efficiency of communication of being right next door, even if you are thousands of miles away.

We are accustomed to using secure platforms in order to make sure that the confidentiality of intellectual property is not compromised at any point in the product development process.

We maintain a network of trusted supply chain options which you can rely on for bringing your product to market with the quality, reliability, affordability, and efficiency you need.
