What We Do
We are a team of top-notch engineers, developers, and researchers who have built everything from biomedical devices to commercial SaaS platforms. If you have a technical challenge, we can solve it.
Set up an intro call to see how we can help — or jump straight to a free schematic, layout, or architecture review.
Electrical Engineering
We build electronics that last, and we build them fast. We've designed every kind of analog and digital system, from ultra-low-powered wearables to large-scale instrumentation. Our deep experience in component selection, schematic capture, and PCBA layout — combined with our expertise in supply chain management, compliance, and design for manufacturing — means we move quickly without cutting corners, taking your PCBA from requirements through production with speed and precision.
When components go end-of-life or supply chains tighten, we keep your product moving by identifying qualified substitutes, managing obsolescence risk, and finding cost-down opportunities that protect your margins without compromising performance or compliance.
From early prototypes to full-scale production, we have the expertise and the urgency to get it done right.

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 Reid • 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.”
Brian Merrill • Ratiocinative Engineering Services
