FREMONT, CA: CertTech, an expert in safety and mission-critical applications, has declared today that the company has acquired Butterfield Engineering, a specialized test engineering firm that specializes in modular test systems and test software development. This announcement comes right after CertTech's March 2020 acquisition of WTI, another leader in the test.

With the most recent acquisition, CertTech keeps on moving forward as a leader in custom test system development. The company now can better serve government major contractors and leading Fortune 500 companies in highly regulated vertical industries such as national defense, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and ground transportation.

"We're excited to join the CertTech team and bring complementary strengths to their core capabilities with our expertise in R&D and manufacturing test system integration as well as specialized capabilities in automation and medical device test," stated Tim Butterfield, founder and CEO of Butterfield Engineering. "We share the same goals of helping clients meet rigorous requirements and time-to-market initiatives by using innovative technologies to develop custom modular test systems."

Bolstering Test Across the Product Development Lifecycle

Model-in-the-loop (MIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), physical test, and regulatory compliance sometimes are considered as completely separate entities in the product design and development processes since they require different competencies – however, all are required for complete test programs.

"For best-in-class organizations, test is a competitive advantage. It's imperative that we navigate test effectively as the pace of design increases with technological innovation," stated Jeff Gray, CEO of CertTech. "By expanding end-to-end test capabilities in-house, we can help clients iterate faster, make better design decisions, and lower the total cost of test."
