Crab Labs is a specialized electronics design and software engineering company founded in 2024. We provide professional services in custom electronics design, firmware development, software engineering, and product testing for medical devices, robotics automation, industrial control systems, and precision instrumentation.
Too many engineering projects fail due to poor communication between clients and the actual engineers doing the work. Project managers and sales teams often make promises that the technical team can't deliver, leading to missed deadlines, scope creep, and frustrated clients.
We believe clients deserve direct access to the engineers who understand their project's technical challenges and can provide realistic timelines and honest assessments.
We stay intentionally small to maintain direct communication between clients and engineers. This means faster decision-making, more accurate project scoping, and better technical outcomes.
When a project falls outside our expertise, we leverage our network of trusted specialists rather than stretching beyond our capabilities. Your project's success matters more than any single contract.
Custom circuit design, PCB layout, and power electronics for specialized applications.
Custom software development, firmware, real-time systems, and safety-critical applications.
Design verification, compliance testing, and validation to meet industry standards.
Complete system design integrating hardware, software, and mechanical components.
Extensive experience with FDA-regulated medical devices, from Class I to Class III systems.
Robotics control systems, precision motor drives, and automation solutions for industrial and medical applications.
Connected devices, wireless systems, and consumer electronics with regulatory compliance.
Small team of experienced engineers with backgrounds spanning biomedical devices, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. We maintain direct client communication and hands-on involvement in every project.
When projects require specialized expertise beyond our core capabilities, we coordinate with trusted partners across complementary engineering disciplines while maintaining direct communication with our clients.
We evaluate every project honestly and refer clients to better-suited firms when appropriate. This approach builds long-term relationships and ensures project success, even if it means turning down work.
Work directly with the engineers designing and building your product. No layers of project managers translating technical requirements back and forth. This direct communication leads to better technical decisions and faster problem resolution.
We believe in connecting clients with the right expertise for their specific needs. Here's when we recommend working with specialists in our network:
Our trusted network includes: Mechanical design firms, RF specialists, advanced manufacturing partners, regulatory consultants, and software architecture experts. We're happy to make introductions and often collaborate on multi-disciplinary projects.
Tell us about your project and we'll provide an honest assessment of fit and feasibility.
