What we solve

A backlog is not always a hiring problem.

Most engineering managers meet the same wall: the drawing queue is three weeks deep, the FEA sign-off is blocking a release, and the business case for a permanent hire does not survive the next quarter's forecast.

Azro Engineering exists for exactly that gap. We take the design and analysis work that consumes your senior engineers' calendars and return it as finished, checked, standards-compliant output, so your team keeps its attention on the decisions only they can make.

We are a mechanical engineering practice based in Sri Lanka, working with engineering companies and OEMs across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. We do not present ourselves as a low-cost body shop. We are contracted capacity with a named engineer, a defined scope and a checking process.

  • 01
    Your senior engineers get their week back

    Detailing, revisions and routine analysis move off the critical path so design authority stays focused on design decisions.

  • 02
    Capacity flexes with the order book

    Scale up for a launch, scale down when the pipeline thins. No redundancy conversations.

  • 03
    Fixed, forecastable cost

    Quoted per project or per engineer-month. No employer NI, pension, software seat or workstation spend.

  • 04
    Every deliverable is checked before it reaches you

    A second engineer reviews geometry, drawing standard and analysis assumptions before release.

Services

Mechanical design and analysis, delivered to standard.

Six service lines covering the product development lifecycle from concept through manufacture. Engaged individually or as a continuous workstream.

Service 01

Concept design and development

We turn a brief, a sketch or a performance requirement into feasible engineering concepts with the trade-offs made explicit, so you can choose a direction with evidence behind it.

  • Requirement capture and design intent definition
  • Concept generation with weighted option comparison
  • Envelope, packaging and clearance studies
  • Preliminary material and process selection
Service 02

SolidWorks CAD modelling and drafting

Parametric parts, assemblies and production drawings built to be edited, not just to look right. Feature trees stay clean and intentional so your team can pick the model up later.

  • 3D part and assembly modelling, weldments, sheet metal
  • Manufacturing drawings to the required standards
  • GD&T application and tolerance stack-up
  • BOM generation and configuration management
Service 03

FEA and structural analysis

Finite element analysis with stated assumptions, documented boundary conditions and a written conclusion. You get an engineering judgement, not a colourful picture.

  • Linear and non-linear static stress analysis
  • Fatigue and life assessment
  • Buckling, modal and thermal studies
  • Mesh convergence and result validation reporting
Service 04

Design for manufacture and supplier support

DFM review before the drawings leave your building, not after the supplier quotes. We look for the cost that gets designed in by accident.

  • DFM and DFA review with costed recommendations
  • Process-appropriate detailing for machining, fabrication, casting
  • Supplier RFQ pack preparation
  • Prototype and first-article support
Service 05

Technical documentation and validation

The paperwork that has to exist and never gets prioritised. Written to be read by an auditor, a customer or a colleague in three years.

  • Design justification and verification reports
  • Test plans, procedures and result compilation
  • Installation, operation and maintenance manuals
  • Technical file support for compliance submissions
Service 06

Engineering surge capacity

A defined block of engineer-hours you can draw against when the workload spikes, without starting a new procurement process every time.

  • Pre-agreed rate and scope framework
  • Named engineer allocated within the agreed lead time
  • Drawing backlog and revision clearance
  • Legacy drawing conversion and CAD data migration

Delivery process

Five stages. Every one has a deliverable you can check.

Offshore work fails when the handover is vague. Ours is not. Each stage closes with a named artefact, so you always know what you have paid for and what comes next.

01

Scope and design intent

We work through your brief, existing data and constraints, then write back what we understood. Nothing starts until you have confirmed that document.

DeliverableScope note · assumption register · fixed quotation
02

Modelling and development

Parts and assemblies built with a deliberate feature tree and a documented naming convention, with progress visible at agreed checkpoints rather than at the end.

DeliverableNative CAD · STEP · checkpoint review pack
03

Analysis and validation

FEA run against the agreed load cases with boundary conditions stated, mesh convergence demonstrated and a written engineering conclusion.

DeliverableAnalysis report · load case matrix · conclusion
04

Detailing and checking

Production drawings issued to your standard, then reviewed by a second engineer against a written checklist before anything is sent.

DeliverableDrawing pack · BOM · signed check sheet
05

Release and handover

Files transferred in your required formats with a revision history, an open-issues list and a short handover call so nothing lives only in our heads.

DeliverableRelease pack · revision log · handover call

Confidentiality & IP

Your drawings are the reason we do not show anyone else's.

Every project we deliver is covered by a non-disclosure agreement, which is why you will not find client names or project images on this website. That is deliberate. The same protection applies to your work.

Engagement models

How we work with you.

We are built for continued collaboration rather than one-off jobs. Every engagement is covered by the same NDA, IP assignment and checking process.

How we work with clients

Dedicated engineer, monthly

A named engineer allocated to your team for an agreed number of days per month, joining your stand-ups and working in your file structure. We build for continued collaboration rather than one-off jobs, because an engineer who already knows your products, standards and conventions is worth considerably more in month six than in month one.

  • Named, consistent engineer
  • Your tools, your conventions, your cadence
  • Monthly rolling, 30 days' notice
  • Covered by NDA and full IP assignment
Best for: continuous design and drafting load

Need something different? We also take work on a project basis and on a seasonal basis, for teams whose workload arrives in bursts rather than steadily. Talk to us about the volume and the timing and we will tell you honestly which shape fits your business best.

Discuss your workload

Software & standards

Licensed tools. Recognised standards.

We work in commercially licensed software and issue to the drawing standard your business already uses, so output drops straight into your PDM system without rework. If your project needs a platform we do not currently run, we will license it.

Common questions

What engineering managers ask us first.

What does Azro Engineering do?

Azro Engineering is a global engineering resource based in Sri Lanka, providing offshore engineering design, analysis and documentation. We deliver 3D modelling and design, production drawings, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), design for manufacture support and technical documentation to engineering companies and OEMs in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Australia. We work as an extension of an existing engineering team rather than as an independent design house.

How does offshore mechanical design compare in cost to hiring in-house?

An in-house design engineer carries salary, employer contributions, pension, recruitment cost, a CAD and simulation licence, a workstation and desk space, and that cost continues whether the drawing queue is full or empty. Contracted offshore capacity converts that fixed cost into a variable one you switch on and off. The saving depends on your market and the seniority you are replacing, so we quote against your actual scope rather than publishing a headline rate.

How do you protect our intellectual property and drawings?

A mutual non-disclosure agreement is signed before any file is transferred. Project data is held in an access-controlled repository and moved over encrypted channels only, never through personal devices or consumer file-sharing accounts. Work is delivered by our own employed engineers with no subcontracting, engineers are not assigned to competing projects concurrently, and data is deleted on your instruction at project close with written confirmation.

Who owns the CAD files and IP you produce?

You do. All intellectual property in work produced for you is assigned to you on delivery, and this is written into the engagement contract rather than left implied. You receive native CAD files as well as neutral formats, so you are never dependent on us to continue the work.

What CAD and analysis software do you work in?

Our primary platform is SolidWorks for 3D modelling, assemblies, weldments, sheet metal and drafting, with SolidWorks Simulation for finite element analysis. AutoCAD is used for 2D drafting and legacy drawing conversion, and Revit for civil and structural modelling. We issue in native format plus STEP, IGES, DXF and PDF as required. If your team works in a platform we do not currently run, tell us at enquiry stage and we will license it.

What are your working hours relative to the UK, Europe and North America?

We operate on Sri Lanka Standard Time, GMT +5:30. Our working day begins while the United Kingdom is still overnight, so work issued at your close of business is typically progressed before your next morning. For North American clients the offset is larger and the overnight turnaround is more pronounced. For Australian and New Zealand clients there is direct overlap through your afternoon. We hold scheduled calls inside your business hours regardless of location.

How quickly can you start?

Typically, we can commence within 6 weeks once the contract has been finalised, all requirements have been clearly defined, and we have a thorough understanding of the technical and personal qualities you are looking for. This allows us to recruit and onboard the best-fit resources for your team. For non-contract or smaller engagements, we can typically begin within a few weeks.

What kind of FEA can you carry out?

Linear and non-linear static stress analysis, fatigue and life assessment, buckling, modal and thermal studies. Every analysis is issued with stated assumptions, a documented load case matrix, boundary conditions, evidence of mesh convergence and a written engineering conclusion. We do not issue a stress plot without an interpretation of what it means for your design.

What is the minimum engagement?

Our standard engagement is a dedicated engineer allocated to your team monthly, contracted on a rolling basis with thirty days notice on either side. We also take work on a project basis and on a seasonal basis where the workload arrives in bursts, and a single drawing or a single analysis is a valid way to start. Tell us the volume and the timing and we will recommend the shape that fits.
