Engineering Assurance.
Mission Success.
We help aerospace and defence organizations accelerate Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRLs) through integrated engineering assurance, identifying and mitigating engineering risks early to improve product robustness, reduce costly downstream changes, and deliver mission-ready systems on time and on budget.
Reduce Technical Risk
Identify issues early
Improve Product Robustness
Design right the first time
Avoid Costly Changes
Save millions downstream
Deliver With Confidence
On time. On budget. On mission.
What We Do
Engineering Assurance That Drives Mission Success.
We partner with engineering organizations to improve Technology Readiness (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness (MRL) through integrated engineering assurance. By embedding DFMEA, PFMEA, and proven engineering risk management practices throughout product development, we help identify technical risks earlier, strengthen product robustness, reduce costly downstream changes, and deliver mission-ready systems with confidence.
DFMEA Facilitation
Expert-led DFMEA studies tailored to your program, team, and development phase.
Engineering Risk Assessments
Comprehensive risk assessments to uncover, prioritize, and mitigate technical risks.
Processes & Methodology
Develop and implement risk management processes, procedures, and best practices.

About
Experience. Perspective. Commitment.
Founded by Ide Ehigiato, former Design Engineering Manager at Sikorsky Aircraft - a Lockheed Martin company, Fortitron was built on a simple belief: the best way to ensure mission success is to identify and mitigate risks before they become problems.
With extensive experience in both the automotive and aerospace industries, we bring a unique perspective and proven methods that help engineering teams design better, smarter, and with confidence.
