Aerospace
Supplier-grade engineering discipline for an industry that audits everything and forgets nothing.
- ISO 9001:2015
- EN 9100 (context)
- IEC 62443
- Export-control-aware delivery
Aerospace suppliers live with the longest product lifecycles in industry, the most demanding customer audits, and compliance obligations that flow down the supply chain in full. Through Crest Aerospace GmbH in Hamburg, we support suppliers with disciplined embedded, mechanical and software engineering, compliance capability, and delivery capacity that survives an audit.
What this sector is actually up against
Flow-down compliance
Primes flow quality and cybersecurity requirements down the supply chain contractually. Tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers must demonstrate process maturity — QMS, configuration management, secure development — at a depth that used to be asked only of primes.
Product lifecycles measured in decades
A part certified today will be supported for 30+ years. Design decisions, toolchains and documentation must survive multiple generations of engineers — traceability is not optional overhead, it is the product.
Capacity without compromising audit posture
Ramp-ups demand engineering capacity fast, but every added supplier or site is an audit surface. Extending capacity through a partner whose QMS and SDL are already certified changes that calculus.
Digitalisation of engineering and MRO
Test data, fleet reliability data and maintenance records sit in ageing systems. Making them usable — without breaking export-control or configuration-control rules — is a systems-integration problem with compliance constraints attached.
Services mapped to the pressure
Embedded Systems Engineering
Embedded development capacity under a certified QMS and IEC 62443-4-1-aligned SDL — engineering documentation prepared for customer and authority audit.
Mechanical Engineering
Sustaining engineering, drafting backlogs, GD&T validation and CAD legacy migration for parts supported across 30-year lifecycles.
Software Services
Engineering-toolchain integration, test-data systems and MRO digitalisation with the traceability aerospace configuration control demands.
Cybersecurity & IEC 62443
Cybersecurity process maturity for suppliers facing flow-down requirements — CSMS, CMPs and audit-ready evidence.
Cloud & Data
Engineering data platforms and cloud migration designed around export-control boundaries and long-retention obligations.
