WHO WE ARE
Design Fox is an engineering consultancy focused on the development of medical devices, with deep experience across surgical instruments, electromechanical systems, and early-stage to commercialized products. Design Fox works with Fortune 500 companies and startups to convert complex engineering challenges into reliable, manufacturable solutions.
Our approach centers on de-risking product development early. We focus on sound engineering fundamentals, realistic design assumptions, and thoughtful decision-making to avoid costly redesigns later in the program. Every design is created with manufacturing, assembly, verification, and scalability in mind — not just what works on paper.
At Design Fox, we prioritize clear timelines, efficient execution, and honest engineering guidance. We help teams move faster by identifying technical risks early, answering difficult engineering questions, and delivering designs that are ready for real-world use.
If you’re developing a medical device and want experienced engineering support to reduce risk, improve design quality, and keep your program on schedule, we invite you to connect with us.
