Agile Systems Engineering through Data Aggregation, Digitization, and Computation

As systems become more complex with deep integration of multiple disciplines (software, electrical, and mechanical), information relating to designs, analysis, and decision-making becomes more difficult to manage and update, which can lead to significantly extended project timelines and increased costs. This, coupled with increasingly ambitious projects, requires us to build systems that enable the management of complexity and reduction of project timelines and therefore cost. Voyager is developing an engineering platform that allows engineers to directly integrate their analyses (MATLAB, Python, and spreadsheets) into a modeling environment along with system block diagrams, and bills of materials (BOM). This integrated modeling and development environment allows teams to reuse analyses and models across projects, as well as utilize those models concurrently and collaboratively. Beyond facilitating collaboration and reuse, the integration of all these data points allows for systems optimization and insight generation that relates to design decisions and component selection on a much larger scale.
