One studio. Every stage of the build.

Design, analysis, and manufacturing under a single roof — so your hardware keeps moving.

Bring us a rough sketch, a stalled program, or a part that won't hit tolerance — we're built to pick it up and carry it forward. No long ramp, no theatrics, just engineers who've shipped before.

Our team moves between CAD, simulation, and the shop floor in the same week. That overlap is the point: fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and drawings the factory can actually build.


What we do
  • Mechanical Design

  • Engineering Analysis

  • Manufacturing Support & Optimization

  • Product Development & Rapid Prototyping

Mechanical Design

Technical blueprint or engineering drawing of a machine or device on a black table with mechanical parts, gears, and measuring tools scattered around.

From early concepts to production-ready designs, Zink Engineering delivers robust mechanical solutions tailored for real-world performance. Using advanced CAD tools and a strong focus on design for manufacturability, we create components and systems that are not only functional—but efficient, reliable, and ready to build.

✔ 3D CAD modeling and detailed part design

✔ Design for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA)

✔ Design iteration and optimization

✔ Reverse engineering and redesign

✔ Assembly design and integration

✔ Tolerance analysis and fit verification

✔ Technical drawings and documentation

Engineering Analysis

Engineering analysis of complex systems

Design decisions should be backed by physics. Zink Engineering provides advanced engineering analysis and system-level modeling to evaluate performance, identify risks, and optimize designs before they reach production. With expertise in thermal and fluid systems and model-based engineering, we help ensure your product performs as intended.

System-level modeling and simulation

Thermal and fluid system analysis

Performance prediction and validation

Trade studies and design optimization

Transient and steady-state system behavior analysis

Model-based engineering (MBE) approaches

Data-driven engineering decision support

Manufacturing Scale-Up & Optimization

Complex system manufacturing scale-up

Turning a design into a physical product requires more than just drawings. Zink Engineering helps Seattle-area hardware companies manage manufacturing scale-up and production support through on-site process improvement, detailed engineering documentation, vendor coordination, and design optimization for fabrication and assembly. With experience in high-flow automotive and aerospace manufacturing environments, we bring the expertise to help bridge the gap between design intent and production reality.
