Engineering Services

Comprehensive manufacturing engineering solutions tailored to your most complex challenges.

01

Mechanical Design

SolidWorks CATIA NX AutoCAD

Our mechanical design services span the complete product lifecycle — from initial concept sketches to full production-ready 3D models and engineering drawings. We work in all major CAD platforms including SolidWorks, CATIA V5/V6, and Siemens NX, and deliver designs optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and cost.

  • 3D parametric modeling and surface design
  • Engineering drawings with full GD&T callouts
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Assembly (DFA)
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and stress studies
  • PDM/PLM system integration and BOM management
02

Manufacturing Process Optimization

Value Stream Mapping FMEA PFMEA

We conduct thorough analysis of your existing production workflows to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and waste — then engineer systematic solutions that deliver measurable, lasting improvements to throughput, quality, and cost.

  • Value stream mapping and waste identification
  • Cycle time reduction and capacity planning
  • Process flow redesign and workstation optimization
  • PFMEA development and risk mitigation
  • Control plan development and SPC implementation
03

Automation & PLC Integration

Allen-Bradley Siemens HMI Design SCADA

We design, integrate, and commission automated manufacturing systems from end to end. Whether retrofitting existing lines or deploying new automation cells, our engineers deliver solutions that increase precision, reduce labor dependency, and scale with your operation.

  • PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi)
  • HMI / SCADA system development
  • Robotic cell design and integration
  • Pneumatic, hydraulic, and servo system design
  • Electrical panel design and controls engineering
04

Tooling & Fixture Design

CMM Fixtures Weld Fixtures Machining Jigs

Custom tooling and fixture solutions engineered for your specific parts, tolerances, and production volumes. We design for repeatability, longevity, and ease of use — reducing setup time and improving first-pass yield across your operations.

  • Weld and assembly fixtures with locating systems
  • Machining jigs and modular fixturing
  • CMM measurement fixtures and check gauges
  • Press tooling, forming dies, and stamps
  • Tool life analysis and material selection
05

Lean Manufacturing / Six Sigma

DMAIC 5S Kaizen Kanban

We embed Lean and Six Sigma methodologies directly into your manufacturing culture — not just as a project, but as a lasting operational framework. Our Black Belt-level consultants guide teams through structured improvement cycles that produce real, quantified results.

  • DMAIC project leadership and facilitation
  • 5S implementation and visual factory design
  • Kaizen event planning and execution
  • Statistical Process Control (SPC) and MSA
  • Operator training and continuous improvement culture building
06

Prototype Development

Rapid Prototyping 3D Printing CNC Machining

We accelerate the path from engineering design to physical validation. Our prototype development services compress development timelines and identify design risks before tooling investment — saving time, cost, and production headaches downstream.

  • Functional prototype design and fabrication coordination
  • FDM, SLA, SLS rapid prototyping management
  • CNC machined prototypes and short-run production
  • Design validation testing and iteration
  • Production readiness assessment and launch support

About MAGNATINE LLC

A decade of delivering engineering excellence across the industries that build the world.

"We exist to solve the manufacturing challenges others walk away from — through deep technical knowledge, relentless innovation, and an unwavering commitment to measurable results."
— MAGNATINE LLC Founding Principle

Who We Are

MAGNATINE LLC is a Houston-based manufacturing engineering consulting firm with over 10 years of proven experience serving clients across the aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Founded by engineers with hands-on production floor experience, we understand that real-world manufacturing problems demand more than theoretical solutions. Our team brings deep technical knowledge, practical problem-solving skills, and a results-driven mindset to every engagement.

From Fortune 500 OEMs to specialized Tier 1 suppliers, MAGNATINE has earned the trust of clients who demand precision, reliability, and measurable outcomes.

Our Approach

Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of your current state — your processes, constraints, goals, and opportunities. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all consulting playbooks. Instead, we build customized engineering strategies grounded in data and guided by decades of experience.

We embed with your team, work alongside your engineers, and transfer knowledge so that improvements are self-sustaining long after our engagement ends. Our goal isn't dependency — it's transformation.

From a single tooling challenge to a full facility optimization, MAGNATINE brings the same level of rigor and dedication to every project.
