Electrical Engineering

We build electronics that last. We've designed every kind of analog and digital system - from ultra-low-powered wearables to large-scale instrumentation. Our extensive experience in component selection, schematic capture, and PCBA layout, as well as our expertise in managing supply chains, designing for compliance and manufacturing, and our commitment to excellent client communication mean we can take your PCBA from requirements through production.

From early prototypes to full-scale production, we can solve any electrical engineering problem under the sun (and most above it).

Software Development

Software can make or break a project. Between internal tooling, resilient error handling, and design for shifting requirements, good software can be the deciding factor in a project's success. Whether you're developing a new platform, adding to a legacy codebase, or hardening a system to improve reliability, our team of experts is here to make your project a success.

With a wealth of experience from bare-metal applications to the cloud and everything in between, our team is here to bring intelligent design and user-friendly tools to your next project.

Root Cause Analysis

Diagnosing issues with complex systems can be challenging - and take time away from a busy engineering schedule. Our team has expertise in tracking inconsistent failures to their root cause, outlining the situations that cause the failures, and proposing the shortest path to a solution. Let us tackle legacy issues while your team focuses on company objectives.

Who We've Helped

“I have been very pleased with the proactive communication of their professional and friendly staff. It was important to us to have a quick turnaround time in an engineering solution that included thorough documentation, and they came through splendidly.”

Brad Metziner • Lightdeck Diagnostics

“Ringtail kept us engaged and informed at every step of the process. No surprises, no technical mysteries, just clear communication and great results. They helped us find a great solution and taught our team how to maintain and evolve our systems long after they were no longer formally a part of the project.”

Riley Reed • Urban Sky

“I would not hesitate to work with Eric and his team at Ringtail Labs the next time I’m in need of hardware or software expertise”

Chris Perkins • Dropworks

“Working with Ringtail labs has been a delight. They are knowledgeable, quick to respond, and easy to get along with. Just throw their full stack development team on it, and they'll get the job done.”
