Hays Engineering

What Hays Engineering does

Hays Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held, licensed professional engineering firm headquartered at 106 S Ash Ave, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Founded in 2001 and led by Principal James K. Hays, P.E., the firm employs between 1 and 10 people and operates under multi-state P.E. licensure held through its NCEES file, with the ability to obtain additional state licenses on client request. The firm carries professional liability insurance to address project-specific risk on sealed engineering deliverables.

The company's service portfolio is organized around four pillars: (1) simulation-based engineering analysis including beam analysis, solids analysis, shell analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), mathematical modeling, and forensic/laboratory failure analysis; (2) design and development via 3D parametric solid modeling CAD/CAE, rapid 3D-printed prototyping, advanced surface treatments, and full technical documentation/publications; (3) five engineering disciplines — mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, quality, and safety; and (4) manufacturing support spanning machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and automation. A stated differentiator is interpretive expertise: the firm claims to identify field problems in CAE studies originally performed by third parties that those analysts missed due to poor results interpretation. Project execution follows a four-phase methodology (Requirements Review, Preliminary Review, Detailed Review, Realization) with progress billings aligned to first-article or prototype success.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based, quote-priced engineering services engagements with a multi-year contract cadence and progress billing structure. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no digital marketing presence, no disclosed customer logos, and no public pricing. The target customer base is engineered product and manufacturing companies in the Central United States requiring non-recurring engineering capability or capacity supplementation. No external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships are disclosed.
