Spinout Stories: MuseDev

While most engineers and scientists join Galois to be part of a company that conducts groundbreaking research, for our unique culture of collaboration, or for the great benefits and work-life balance, there’s a lesser-known but equally exciting perk of working at Galois: participating in the creation of spinouts.  Throughout my time as a research engineer […]

Digital engineering -CPS Behavior Modeling and Beyond

Digital engineering (DE) is gaining momentum as the system engineering community matures practices and tooling. In its present avatar, DE workflows and tools rely on MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) for developing and maintaining digital system artifacts and keeping these artifacts in sync during all phases of the system. This is presently achieved via descriptive models […]

Can we digitally engineer expertise for the masses? 

Organizations seeking to integrate digital-first practices into their engineering processes often rapidly discover a common roadblock: critical dependencies on the individual expertise of specific employees embedded in legacy workflows. Discovering this issue has prompted some to ask what role might generative technologies play in supporting digital engineering transformation efforts: “Can they help us reduce reliance […]

Digital Engineering: From point solutions to trusted processes

In the world of cyber physical systems, the aim of Digital Engineering (DE) is to speed up the development process while simultaneously improving security, reliability, safety and performance. The core mechanism enabling this outcome is a refinement based design and implementation process whereby high-level requirements and reference architectures are refined into low-level requirements and system […]

U.S. Government Programs Need Authoritative Sources of Truth Aligned with Multi-organization Workflows

Systems engineering has come a long way since the 1960s. Defense and aerospace data management systems, which initially evolved under a centralized authority, must now adapt to highly distributed organizations with multiple authorities and open and modular development needs. Organizational management techniques have evolved to smooth logistics and collaboration between contributors, and data management and […]

Digital Engineering: Changing the Paradigm

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “change is the only constant in life.” Yet, all too often, it is change that we struggle with the most. In business and technology, as in life, there is comfort in doing things the way we have always done them. We hold onto strategies, processes, and approaches that are […]

The Next Assembly Line – The Quest for Scalable Automation in Software

In 1913 Henry Ford invented the assembly line and forever changed the way the world made physical products. For more than 100 years, the industrial society launched new technologies, new industries, and educational programs focused on perfecting manufacturing and scaling automation via incremental improvements over time.  Process improvement techniques that utilize statistics and mathematical concepts, […]
