Two engineers.
Full stack for
connected hardware.
A company needs a product that doesn't exist yet. We design the board, write the firmware, build the backend and the app, and hand back something that works.

Wherever the product is now.
An idea
Nothing is built yet, and often what it should do is still open. We work that out with you first, then take it through the board, the firmware and the software on top.
A board, no software
The hardware exists, or it is being designed somewhere else. We write everything that runs on it and everything it talks to, from the firmware up to the app.
A working prototype
It works on the bench. Now it has to survive being built in quantity, updated in the field, and used by someone who did not design it. That part is usually the hard engineering.
Whole products, start to finish.
Who you're hiring.
We are engineers first. What we like is the problem nobody has solved yet, and so far we have not had to turn one down: an FPGA to interface with, an airflow loop that has to hold steady as a filter clogs, a shipping agency running its whole day off a magnetic whiteboard. It is different every time, which is the reason we do it.
We both do this all week as well, at companies whose products are already in the field. We started ERBO to do that for other companies.
Bob Thomas
Software & Product
Leads product and engineering at Speaksee, building real-time speech-to-text technology for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Started as a backend engineer, grew into product leadership. At ERBO, Bob’s specialty is the software stack: cloud architecture, APIs, web apps, and everything between the device and the user.
Erwin Blankestein
Hardware & Firmware
Builds embedded firmware and electronics at PalmSens, a company making compact electrochemical instruments used in scientific research worldwide. Deep in bare-metal C, PCB design, and making microcontrollers talk to sensors. At ERBO, Erwin’s specialty is the hardware, from component selection through to production-ready boards.
