Test Engineering deals primarily with the embodiment of systems toward validation and verification activities (V&V) to ensure a test article meets requirements. Implicit in this activity is designing for sufficient Measurement Capability to guarantee the reliability of parametric determinations. The systems that Test Engineers develop range from simple static measurements to sophisticated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems that interact in real time.
Automated Test Systems (ATE) and Special Test Equipment (STE) are traditionally found on manufacturing floors, but have become ubiquitous in commissioning and field applications due to the obfuscation of complexity that facilitates reliable operation by an operator with minimal training. This is especially valuable when systems are commissioned in harsh or remote environments, and is often necessitated by traceability requirements.
Test Engineering demands a high degree of creativity to conceptualize, integrate, and validate systems that are both capable and cost effective. Because single-vendor and commercial off-the shelf (COTS) solutions typically require customizations to achieve this, broad integration experience and established vendor connections are required to develop effective strategies.

Core Competencies
Have a difficult challenge? Contemplating a new development or enhancements to an existing one? While it can be relatively easy to get started with LabVIEW, the complexity of integrating disparate hardware, advanced features, and large applications can become a daunting task.
TCB Engineers has extensive experience in turn-key development, but also working directly with customer teams so they may leverage their strengths through skills augmentation. Taking advantage of our LabVIEW consulting services can help ensure project success by anticipating potential pitfalls and forming collaborative strategies to avoid cost and schedule overruns.
An NI Alliance Partner since 1999, TCB Engineers has developed, modified and improved countless LabVIEW applications for a diverse customer base. We are uniquely positioned to provide Certified LabVIEW Architect (CLA) consulting services and customer advocacy for interactions with various NI groups, including Sales, Support and Repair.
The National Instruments (NI) TestStand Development System is the premier test sequencing host for a wide range of data acquisition and control systems. While it can be relatively easy to get started with TestStand, leveraging advanced features and use models can be a daunting task. TCB Engineers welcomes these challenges and brings to bear more than fifteen years of TestStand experience.
TCB Engineers has extensive experience in turn-key development and architecting solutions for execution by customer teams so they may leverage their strengths through skills augmentation instead of wholesale outsourcing.
Have a difficult challenge? TCB Engineers programmers are degreed Engineers, so our ability to solve the tough problems is what separates us from the competition.
