A conversation with Omar Bermudez on usability, real-world impact, and the value of design-led development. Engineering is one of the pillars of product development, but new and innovative products also require a keen visual eye. Enter industrial design. Goddard’s industrial design team, led by Omar Bermudez, ensures that not only does the product work as...
The Goddard Technologies Human Factors team attended HFES 2025 in Toronto, where we immersed ourselves in the Medical and Drug Delivery Devices track. This year’s sessions reflected the evolving demands on human factors professionals, particularly in the medical device industry, where usability, safety, and regulatory readiness must align. By participating in targeted workshops and panels...
Engineering has, for hundreds of years, traditionally been a male-dominated industry. Goddard Technologies consciously combats this through inclusive and diverse hiring practices. To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, we sat down with a few of our female engineers to learn about their career journeys, the advice they’d give to their younger selves, and how...
At Goddard Technologies, we believe in investing in innovation, not just in the products we design, but in the people who will shape the future of engineering. This spring, we had the pleasure of hosting Ella Twomey, a senior at Landmark High School, for a three-week internship that blended creativity, technical skills, and real-world experience....
Medical devices must undergo strict evaluation by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to win approval for the US market. To nab a successful 510(k) submission, medical device developers must carefully select a predicate device and support their equivalency claims with carefully crafted documentation. What is 510(k) Clearance? The 510(k) regulatory clearance pathway is used...
How to: Medical Product Design & Development Developing a medical device involves several phases that ensure successful and accessible designs, manufacturing, and market entry. Medical devices require adhering to stringent regulations and standards and an error-proof user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. These methods encompass a comprehensive approach to medical device development, which...

FAQs

Quick answers to common questions about our services and process.

A product development company supports you through the design, engineering, testing, and refinement of a product or system.

These teams often span multiple disciplines, from early concept through manufacturing readiness, and can lead full programs or support specific gaps in your internal team. Product development partners work on both new products and improvements to existing ones.

Industrial design focuses on how products work, feel, and integrate into real-world use. This includes form, usability, ergonomics, and manufacturability. Industrial design teams help resolve challenges around user interaction, system layout, and production constraints.

In regulated industries like medical devices and life sciences, industrial design also plays a critical role in safety, usability, and compliance.

We work closely with your team throughout the development process. Our engineers and designers collaborate directly with stakeholders, share progress frequently, and involve you in key technical and design decisions.

Most projects include weekly or bi-weekly check-ins to review progress, risks, and upcoming milestones.

Yes. Strong product development relies on repeatable principles, not prior exposure to a specific product category. Our teams bring experience from a wide range of industries and apply that knowledge to new challenges.

This cross-industry perspective often leads to more effective and unexpected solutions.

Yes. Understanding market context is a critical part of successful product development. We support this through research, competitive analysis, and user insight to help ensure your product meets real needs and stands apart in the market.

Manufacturability depends on early and continuous collaboration between design and engineering. Our teams work together from the start to balance usability, performance, cost, and production constraints.

We also encourage early involvement from manufacturing partners to confirm feasibility, cost targets, and process alignment before designs are finalized

Yes. We work closely with regulatory partners and apply our experience in regulated industries to support compliant product development.

Our teams understand what’s required to bring products into regulated markets and design with those requirements in mind from the beginning.

ISO 13485 certification confirms that our quality management system meets international standards for medical device development. It ensures our processes support consistent quality, risk management, and regulatory compliance across medical programs.

Yes. We support manufacturing readiness, quality improvement, and production ramp-up. Our manufacturing engineers work with clients and suppliers to resolve throughput, quality, and scale challenges.

We can also support vendor sourcing and collaborate with either trusted partners or manufacturers you already use.

Billing depends on project scope and structure. We typically work under either time-and-materials arrangements or fixed-price, phase-based projects. The approach is defined during scoping to align with risk, flexibility, and program goals.

Our quoting process is designed to reduce uncertainty and align expectations.

  • We start with an NDA.
  • We hold an introductory call to understand your goals, constraints, and team structure.
  • You share available technical information.
  • Our engineering team reviews the materials and prepares follow-up questions.
  • We meet again to walk through technical details together.
  • We develop and present a proposal.
  • We refine the proposal collaboratively based on feedback before final alignment.
