Device Engineering Incorporated was established on May 7, 1990. We are proud to be celebrating our 33rd year of business as of May 2023. We would like to thank all of our customers, business partners and employees for their essential role in our success. We look forward to strengthening our relationships and expanding our business with; and continuing our support to our existing and yet-to-be customers in the future.

Device Engineering has been certified by Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. (who are accredited by ANAB), to be compliant to the AS9100D aerospace quality standard as well as the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard. View our Certificate of Registration.

AS9100D is the newest version of the aerospace industry standard, it incorporates all the elements of ISO 9001:2015, plus additional elements unique to Aviation, Defense and Space organizations.

Aerospace Standard AS9100D Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations were prepared by the IAQG.  The industry has established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), with representatives from companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe.

International Standard ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance, Subcommittee SC 2, Quality systems. 

These standards are increasingly important to the thousands of companies that supply parts and services to aircraft and aerospace manufacturers.  All of the major aircraft engine manufacturers and users, such as General Electric Aviation Aircraft Engine division (GEAE), Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and UTAS, require registration to AS9100D.
