01 / Technical Capabilities
Engineering where the vehicle, controller, and measurement meet.
Practical development and troubleshooting across electronic control systems, test equipment, and commercial powertrains.
02 / NETWORKS
CAN / J1939 Engineering
Vehicle network communications, custom data acquisition, protocol analysis, and controller-interface tools.
03 / DIAGNOSTICS
Root-Cause Verification
Independent physical measurements and controlled testing to distinguish symptoms from the underlying defect.
04 / TEST SYSTEMS
Instrumentation & Test Design
Sensor integration, test fixtures, repeatability improvements, and engineering data analysis.
05 / VALIDATION
Engine & Dyno Testing
Experience developing standardized dynamometer processes, test-cell tools, and powertrain validation methods.
06 / SOFTWARE
Purpose-Built Engineering Tools
Custom workstation applications, diagnostic interfaces, logging, and analysis where general-purpose tools fall short.
02 / The Approach
Measure first.
Conclude with evidence.
Fault codes, controller parameters, and modeled values do not always tell the whole story. Our engineering approach relates what a control system commands to what the hardware actually does—then uses repeatable checks to confirm the result.
- 01
Frame the failure mode
Separate observed symptoms, operating constraints, and competing explanations.
- 02
Collect independent evidence
Bring together relevant controller data and physical measurements.
- 03
Isolate and verify
Choose discriminating tests and document whether the correction resolves the cause.
03 / Applied Research
Forward-maintenance diagnostics are a development priority.
Concept / Research & DevelopmentDTP is pursuing Causal Powertrain Verification for Forward Maintenance—a proposed portable, offline approach to combining vehicle-controller signals, independent measurements, and guided checks for more defensible diagnostic decisions.
This is an R&D concept. It is not presented as a completed, qualified, or commercially available product.
Research objectives
- Operate without internet or cloud dependence
- Separate commanded limits, sensor errors, and physical failures
- Explain the evidence behind a diagnostic decision
- Report insufficient evidence instead of forcing a conclusion
- Validate results with repeatable, controlled tests
