Frederick, Colorado – July 22, 2026 – Ensera Design has expanded and enhanced its engineering facilities in Frederick, Colorado, strengthening its North American electrical, hardware, and software engineering capabilities to support the growing demand for connected and digitally enabled medical device innovation.
A purpose-built facility for advanced engineering
The newly renovated, purpose-built Colorado facility, which combines dedicated engineering laboratories, prototyping space and collaborative workspaces, reflects Ensera Design’s continued investment in advanced engineering capability globally. Established on the same site for over forty years, the new building’s increased capacity enables the Colorado studio to provide more integrated product development support for customers in North America and worldwide, alongside its sister design studios in Morristown, NJ and Bristol, UK, and Ensera’s manufacturing facilities in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia.
Spanning 12,800 square feet, the enhanced infrastructure includes:
- Dedicated electrical, hardware, and software engineering laboratories
- Flexible collaboration and project spaces
- Future dedicated production and clinical development environments
- A workshop and prototyping space for hands-on development and testing
- A dedicated conference and training room
These adaptable environments support a broad range of innovation activities, from initial concept development through to early-stage commercialization.
Advanced tooling, equipment, and pre‑manufacturing capability
Equipped with advanced testing equipment and high-speed fiber connectivity, the Colorado team is able to support hands-on electronic and software engineering development and rapid design iteration.
With pre-manufacturing capability embedded within the site, teams can also evaluate manufacturability throughout development rather than being a late-stage consideration. This accelerates the path to production, supports smoother technology transfer, and reduces risk as products move toward commercialization.
Strengthening design‑to‑manufacture integration
As part of Ensera’s connected model, Colorado’s electronics and software specialists work closely with design and manufacturing teams across the organization to help customers navigate complex development pathways. They support programs from technology development and verification through to manufacturing readiness for connected medical devices, digitally enabled drug delivery systems, complex electromechanical products, and other regulated technologies requiring close integration of hardware, software, and manufacturing expertise.
“The enhanced Colorado facility represents an important investment in both our capabilities and our people. The expertise within our Colorado team plays a critical role in delivering advanced electrical, hardware, and software engineering solutions for our customers in North America. This investment gives those teams the environment, tools, and resources they need to continue delivering exceptional work while supporting the future growth of our business.”
- Mike Susi, Global Head of Design and Product Development, Ensera.Experienced leadership driving the Colorado expansion
The Colorado facility is led by Michael Halleck, Senior Director of Electronic and Software Engineering, North America, and Deb Hooker, Director of Software Engineering. Together, they bring extensive experience in medical device development, regulated technologies, software engineering, and complex multidisciplinary product development.
“This move represents the culmination of many challenges and successes over the last few years. Seeing the team continue on a strong growth trajectory in a clean, functional, and beautiful space is incredibly rewarding. It truly feels like we’re home again.”
- Michael Halleck, Senior Director of Electronic and Software Engineering, North America, Ensera Design
“I’m excited to be growing the team and taking on more challenges from our newly renovated space. We’ve hired several new team members recently and we’re hoping to continue expanding the team and developing innovative devices.”
