Engineering Services That Get Your Product Built
We help you take an idea and turn it into something real. Whether you’re starting from scratch or need to fix what someone else couldn’t finish, we offer the kind of engineering support that moves things forward.
You’ll work directly with engineers and not through layers of project managers. That means quicker answers, fewer missteps, and smarter decisions right from the start.
We don’t just focus on what works right now. We think ahead to see how it’ll be used, how it’ll be built, what it’ll cost to scale. That bigger picture thinking saves time and money down the line.
Here’s what we handle:
- Firmware Development
- Embedded Systems Design
- Hardware Design
- Software Development
- Prototyping
We’ve worked on industries that range from medical devices, industrial automation, consumer electronics, IoT. You name it.
Some teams come to us needing the whole product built from the ground up. Others just need help solving one tough problem. Either way, we jump in and work side by side with you to get real, working results you can count on.
We’re not big on fluff. We’ve been doing this for decades, and we know how to fill in the gaps, keep things moving, and get your product ready for the real world.
Take a look at what we offer and let’s figure out how to make your next idea actually happen.
If it’s part of getting a product to market, odds are, we’ve done it. Let’s talk through your idea and see where we can help.
Our Services
At EES you will work directly with an experienced team of engineers with the expertise needed to address the entire product development lifecycle.
Firmware Development
Firmware is the specialized software that will power your embedded devices. It’s at the core of what we do. The firmware we develop for you is the smarts that process data, control outputs, and enable your embedded device to interact with its environment.
Embedded Systems
Embedded Systems design is combining hardware and firmware to create a functional product. Our years of experience means that we provide you with an holistic approach that considers every aspect of the product such as technical design, ergonomics and mechanical design.
Hardware Design
We use industry standard tools like Altium to design the printed circuit board (PCBs) that will be needed to bring your product to life. Our team knows how to optimize hardware design to minimize costs while optimizing product performance.
Software Development
The team at EES has extensive experience with software tools and environments that will be needed to write software to run your product. Embedded software is our core focus, our capabilities also include mobile app development and backend cloud integration.
Prototyping
Our philosophy on prototyping is to get a prototype built as quickly as possible to validate design concepts. We then perform rigorous testing to assess reliability and compliance requirements. Our team will then work with mechanical designers to ensure product functionality.
FAQs
What is included in end-to-end embedded product development services?
End-to-end development typically includes system architecture, hardware design, firmware development, prototyping, and the documentation needed to hand off to manufacturing. The exact mix depends on your constraints, especially power, connectivity, environment, and production volume. To see the most common building blocks, start with Embedded Systems Design and Prototyping.
What is the difference between firmware development and software development for embedded products?
Firmware is the low-level code that runs on the device hardware, often on a microcontroller, and it owns timing, peripherals, and real-time behavior. Embedded software can include higher-level system software, tools, and applications that support the product, sometimes on embedded Linux or other platforms. If you are deciding where your work fits, compare Firmware Development and Software Development.
Can one firm handle hardware, firmware, prototyping, and manufacturing handoff?
Yes, and it is often faster when one team owns the interfaces and the tradeoffs across disciplines. The key is to keep requirements, test strategy, and documentation consistent so the design can be built and supported. A good handoff includes a manufacturing package from Hardware Design plus build and test assets.
What deliverables should I expect from an embedded engineering engagement?
You should expect concrete artifacts, not just a demo. Typical deliverables include requirements and architecture notes, schematics and PCB files, a BOM, source code with build instructions, and test procedures that prove the critical behaviors. Our engagement flow and what we hand off is summarized on Our Process.
When should I outsource embedded engineering vs hire in-house?
Outsourcing is a good fit when you need senior execution quickly, you have a short-term spike in workload, or you need to de-risk a design before you hire. In-house hiring tends to win when you have an ongoing product roadmap and enough steady work to keep a team productive. If you are not sure where to start, Getting Started is the fastest way to scope a first step.
Can a contract engineering team work as an extension of my internal team?
Yes, if roles are clear and the workflow is set up for collaboration. That usually means shared repos, a defined review cadence, clear ownership boundaries, and decision-making that does not stall. For how we structure communication and milestones, see Our Process.
