our expertise

Where we shine.

Enclosure Development

Our development team engineers RF product enclosures to  protect the electronics package, dissipate heat, be easy to use, and look like it belongs in the application.

Ruggedization

SGW Designworks develops products that live in harsh environments. Our radar product team has products in the field now that are tested to IP-68 and MIL-STD 810G.

Hardware UI / UX

Your RF / Radar product needs to function flawlessly, but it also needs to be easy to use. Our RF product team approaches HMI design with a user-first mindset, ensuring users are successful the first time.
