What Clients Say
"With Expertise I am always amazed by how they just get it done. Rather than PowerPoint we get CAD, rather than stories, we get analysis, rather than concepts, we get products. Expertise feels more like having a strong engineering team working for us than a consulting group looking for more work. If you have a strong vision of what your product should be (not the engineering, but the experience) then I strongly suggest these guys."
— Sean Saint, CEO, Beta Bionics
"Unlike larger firms, their small, adept team brought our napkin sketch to life with a speed and efficiency that amazed us. This approach not only saved us time but also significantly contributed to securing early-stage funding by showcasing tangible progress to our investors. Would we work with Expertise Engineering again? Without a doubt."
— John Sjölund, CEO, Luna Diabetes
"I have worked with Expertise Engineering for the last 12 years on multiple projects involving the design and development of novel diagnostics including the instrument, software, measurement cartridges (assays) and manufacturing and test equipment. They have always been innovative, quick to learn, cost-effective, and timely in their work. I can give them my highest recommendation in all areas."
— Robert S. Hillman, President and CEO, CeleCor Therapeutics
