Systems Engineering
We take on the requirements, interfaces, architecture, and tradeoffs behind a system, and leave you with integration plans and decision artifacts your team can act on.
Corporate engineering capabilities without the noise.
bubble provides engineering and logic consulting, complete engineered solutions, and large-format additive prototyping for complex problems in aerospace, robotics, manufacturing, automotive, and motorsport. If your team has worked a problem internally and can't close it out, we help in three ways: we advise on approaches and experiments worth trying, we develop the solution ourselves and present the results, or we project-manage the solution for or with your company. When the work needs a physical checkpoint, we can also support prototype prints, fit checks, fixtures, tooling aids, and early mockups before committing to a more expensive manufacturing path.
Service areas
What we can support.
Aerospace & Robotics
Aerospace solutions ranging from structural design to aerodynamic and thermodynamic efficiency, including efficient additions and upgrades to old, inefficient components and systems. Plus UAV behavior, sensor integration, mission logic, stability, and field reliability.
Manufacturing & Process
Repeatability, process controls, failure reduction, quality planning, and handoff documentation. bubble is currently project-managing the build of a brand-new manufacturing site in the USA — drawing on international expertise to deliver a state-of-the-art facility designed to be as future-proof as possible.
Large-Format Additive Prototyping
In-house 3D prototype printing for concept models, fit checks, tooling aids, fixtures, educational hardware, and early engineering mockups. This capability helps teams validate geometry, communicate intent, and reduce uncertainty before committing to final manufacturing.
Automotive & Motorsport
Vehicle efficiency gains from aerodynamics to layout to structure. For race teams: a faster car across all systems — aero, suspension, power output, and the human factor — addressing each system individually and as a harmonious whole, because that harmony is where lap time lives.
Cross-Domain Support
When a project spans energy, propulsion, materials, sensing, electronics, and software, we work the whole stack — not just the piece that's easiest to isolate.
Engagement types
Three ways in when the internal path has stalled.
When a problem has resisted internal effort, choose the level of involvement that fits your team, timeline, and appetite for hands-on help.
Advise
We work alongside your engineers, recommending approaches, experiments, and directions to try — so your team drives the solution with an experienced hand on the map.
Solve & Present
We take the problem in-house, apply our engineering and logic to it, develop the solution, and present the results back to you as a complete, documented package.
Project-Manage
We run the solution for or with your company — owning scope, workstreams, suppliers, and delivery from definition through handoff.
Project scoping
Engineering and prototype work is quoted by scope.
We do not publish a one-size-fits-all rate sheet because corporate and prototype work depends on the request. Some projects need a short technical review. Others need CAD cleanup, design-for-print review, prototype printing, assembly, testing, documentation, or ongoing engineering support.
Initial technical review
Best for feasibility checks, file review, technical direction, and deciding whether a larger project is worth quoting.
Prototype printing
Quoted by file readiness, material, size, print time, setup complexity, finishing needs, and delivery timeline.
Design and systems support
Estimated by engineering hours when the work involves CAD cleanup, design review, problem solving, testing, documentation, or technical integration.
Prototype + engineering package
Best when a project needs both design support and physical iteration. We define the scope before work begins, then provide a written quote or estimate.
Before work begins, bubble provides a written quote or estimate outlining expected scope, prototype requirements, engineering time, assumptions, and next steps.
Next step
Bring the problem. We’ll define the scope.
