Independent Engineering Consulting

Structural analysis and systems engineering for hardware that cannot fail.

Dawnity supports satellite, semiconductor and precision-hardware developments with senior structural analysis, qualification testing and systems engineering — grounded in eight years qualifying ESA spacecraft and ASML High-NA EUV hardware.

Experience gained at leading engineering companies.

When analysis and test disagree, the schedule pays for it.

  • Analysis and test disagree, and nobody can say which one is wrong.
  • A structural model exists, but nobody on the team fully trusts it.
  • A qualification campaign is approaching with unresolved technical risk.
  • You need senior structural judgment on hand, without adding a permanent role.

Model, predict, test, correlate — one loop, one owner.

Structural analysis and qualification testing are not two services with a hand-off in the middle. The prediction has to answer for the measurement, and the measurement has to go back into the model.

  1. 01

    Model

    FEM built and validated against drawings, materials and hardware.

  2. 02

    Predict

    Responses, margins and notching predicted before anything is shaken.

  3. 03

    Test

    Procedures written, campaign monitored, responses read as they come in.

  4. 04

    Correlate

    Measured behaviour reconciled with the model — and fed back into it.

The loop closes rather than ends — correlation is what makes the next prediction trustworthy.

Three disciplines, one point of accountability.

01

Structural Analysis

FEM model creation, validation and correlation; stress and bolt analysis; structural verification for high-reliability hardware.

02

Qualification Testing — Structural Dynamics

Test prediction, notching, procedures and monitoring for vibration, shock and modal campaigns — then correlation back into the model.

03

Systems Engineering

Requirements, interfaces, architecture and technical leadership across disciplines, from design maturity through to serial production.

Eight years qualifying hardware where the margin for error is measured in microns.

Before founding Dawnity, structural qualification work spanned ESA spacecraft — the Sentinel-6A satellite and the Sentinel-1C/D SAR antenna both qualified at IABG in Munich — followed by technical ownership of a subsystem in the ASML High-NA EUV ecosystem at Carl Zeiss SMT.

8+

Years across satellite, spacecraft and semiconductor hardware

€25–50M

Annual revenue of the subsystem under technical leadership

25

Engineers guided across a multidisciplinary organisation

30%

Cost reduction delivered in one year through engineering optimisation

An independent partner, not another seat to manage.

Dawnity works remotely by default and travels when the work calls for time on site — a design review, a test campaign, a qualification milestone.

Engagements are scoped around a specific technical question and integrate directly with your existing team, without the overhead of a larger consulting organisation. Reviews run in English, German or Portuguese, whichever suits the room.

Built to bring senior engineering judgment to the teams that need it.

Dawnity LDA is an independent engineering consultancy founded by Maximilian Grasberger, based in Sintra, Portugal, working with clients in Switzerland and internationally.
