Everything Under One Roof: How Simtek Builds Simulated Avionics in Euless, Texas

One of Simtek’s biggest strengths is simple to say but hard to copy:we do it all under one roof.

At our facilities in Euless, Texas, every step of the process—from initial concept to finished hardware—happens in-house. That means tighter quality control, faster communication, and more consistent results for your simulated avionics programs.

In-House Engineering & Design (Mechanical and Electrical Engineering)

Every great panel, display, or instrument starts with engineering.

Our design team works directly with you to:

• Interpret drawings, photos, and legacy hardware

• Translate platform requirements into manufacturable designs

• Ensure form, fit, and function align with your simulator architecture

Because our engineers sit just steps away from production, questions get answered quickly and design intent is preserved all the way to final assembly.

Machined Parts & Mechanical Production

We don’t outsource our critical metal.

Our machined parts production is carried out in-house, allowing us to:

• Control tolerances and fit-up

• Adjust designs quickly when needed

• Maintain consistent quality across production runs

From bezels and Gears to full panel structures, we keep the mechanical backbone of your hardware under our direct control.

Wiring, Assembly, and Integration

Once the parts are built, they move straight into wiring and assembly.

Our technicians handle:

• Harness fabrication and routing

• Connectorization and terminations

• Assembly of switches, indicators, encoders, and displays

Because engineering, machining, and wiring are all in the same building, we can resolve challenges in real time and keep your project moving.

Paint and Laser Engraving In-House

Finishing work is not an afterthought at Simtek.

We manage paint and laser engraving under the same roof, so we can:

• Match specific color and finish requirements

• Deliver crisp, durable legends and markings

• Maintain consistency across entire suites of panels and instruments

This in-house control means your cockpit hardware doesn’t just work right—it looks right.

Why “Under One Roof” Matters

Keeping engineering, machined parts, wiring, paint, and laser engraving all in-house at our Euless, Texas facilities delivers clear benefits:

• Better quality control – One team, one standard.

• Shorter lead times – Fewer handoffs, less waiting.

• Faster problem-solving – Engineering and production collaborate face-to-face.

• Consistent results – Repeatable quality across platforms and programs.

For customers, that translates to more reliable schedules, fewer surprises, and hardware you can trust in your simulators.

If your next project needs high-fidelity simulated avionics built with tight control over every step of the process, Simtek’s “under one roof” approach in Euless, Texas is ready to go to work for you.
