About Function

Function Engineering provides mechanical design and engineering for product development.

Starting with the design of a robotic exercise machine in 1987, we have participated in thousands of client programs across industries including consumer electronics, computing and networking, mobile, medical, robotics, household, entertainment, sporting goods, commercial and industrial equipment, transportation, and research.

About Function

Clients choose us when engineering matters, and over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with the most influential product development companies in the world.

We concentrate on our client’s goals and offer honest advice from our engineering perspective. Putting our clients first has become its own reward, producing a business built of referrals and long-term client relationships that allow Function to make meaningful contributions to companies beyond a single project.

About Function

Function obsesses with engineering. We never lose sight of our role to “make things work.” We apply the same critical thinking to every project, big or small.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards and share a common approach to problem-solving, where alternatives are carefully considered, researched, analyzed, prototyped, and tested before we make recommendations or carry out a design.

About Function

We are committed to solving the most challenging mechanical problems in product development. The result of this commitment is often new intellectual property, which we assign to our client without licensing fees or royalty agreements.

We consider each project we take on based on our capabilities and the client’s values, requirements, and objectives. We decline projects that are not a good fit. When we accept a project, we dedicate our organization to our client’s engineering needs.
